The
BBC Sex Pistols
documentary 'Blood
on the Turntable', which was previously shown on
BBC3, gets its UK terrestrial debut on BBC2 this
Sunday, 30th January at 22:30. The doc features an extensive interview
with John Lydon, along with some other interested parties…
"Their
records were quite unacceptable for the average person. They didn't
behave, they didn't accept the common rules of decency, so it
was important to take out the poison…" - Sir
John Read, EMI Chairman

Lydon's Megabugs - Fly's
Sunday 26th at 17.00
(repeated Thursday at 20.30)
The Housefly
- or should that be Poo-fly - do they deserve their place on the
planet? Of course they do, just not in your sandwich. The Fly pollinates
more than the Bee, but since Bee's give us honey and Fly's tend
to vomit on our food and wipe their shit on us, we don't have the
same affection for them, funny that…
With the aid of Dr Watson John also learns that Fly's are helping
the FBI solve crime, and visits a hospital where Maggots are stopping
the rot for the infected. Perfect Tea-Time viewing! |

Viewers
might be surprised to see that John doesn't feature
in Sunday's '100 Greatest TV Treats of 2004' on
Channel 4, but we're not… Maybe he might turn up somewhere
else… |

John
Lydon's Megabugs - Cockroaches
tomorrow, Sunday 19th at 17.00
(repeated Thursday at 20.30)
John
goes undercover in search of cock-o-roaches and finds they
are every-a-where; sewers, deserts, houses, and (sort of)
maybe the moon…
Cockroaches are 300 million years old, the ultimate survivor. Despite
the fact they can become a nuisance to humans, they are a megabug
to be respected and not feared. Their constant evolution has taught
them to be adaptable to a wide variety of situations, and surely
that's something we can only learn from… |

We've
now added some great clips of Rotten
TV to the Multi-Media Video

Player site. |

Due
to technical problems outwith our control the Forum

John
Lydon's Megabugs - Termites
tomorrow, Sunday 12th at 17.00
(repeated Thursday at 20.30)
The
army of one versus the army of millions… The termite performs
a vital job in nature, but is also the most destructive insect on
the planet. In pursuit of what makes them tick, or should that be
headbang, John gets to grips with some dead wood, not to mention
some cow poo. Despite the carnage they can cause to manmade structures,
we learn termites are a fascinating mix of good and chaos, just
like someone else we know… |

Apologies
if you experienced some downtime with the site
this week, this was due to a server problem, and should not happen
again. However, the Forum,
will remain closed for the time being while a technical
fault is repaired. This hopefully should not take more than a week… |

John
Lydon's Megabugs - Leeches
today, Sunday 5th at 17.00
(repeated Thursday at 20.30)
"Obnoxious,
repulsive and fascinating…" no, not John! Mr Rotten travels
to Louisiana in search of leaches, the worlds biggest bloodsuckers
- apart from the lawyers… He improves his frog handling skills,
gets a war wound and watches as a hospital patient gets his nose
sucked. 300 hundred teeth, 3 jaws, but perfectly harmless. |
