Temple plans Sex Pistols pantomime

Director Julian Temple has said that would like to make a pantomime based on the Sex Pistols documentary The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle.

Temple claimed that the film was ripe for a panto adaptation and that he would like to get John Lydon and Malcolm McClaren to star in the show.

He told BBC 6 Music: "I’m thinking of doing a pantomime of The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle with John Lydon next year.

"I think he’d be great in a pantomime. You’d have to adapt something like Dick Whittington to The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle.

"I don’t know whether we’d get Malcolm [McClaren - former Pistols manager] to play The Big Bad Witch of whatever, but it’s a funny idea anyway."

Temple has just finished work on a new Sex Pistols DVD using the footage of their five-night residency at the Brixton Academy last year.
