'The Best of British £1 Notes' is out this Monday, 3rd October and to tie in with the release the media are going all Rotten on us…

The new issue of Record Collector features an extensive interview with John. He will also be featured in this weekend's Sunday Times 'Culture' Magazine (2nd October). The current issue of NME includes a full page review of the album, giving it the dubious title of "Re-issue of the Week".

Apologies for stating John was interviewed in the new issue of Q Magazine, in fact, it's only a snide review that's featured. My mistake.

Sunday sees John appear on BBC 1's Sunday morning religious programme 'Heaven & Earth', 10am-11am. An interview on MTV 2's 'Gonzo with Zane' will follow on Monday, 3rd October at 9pm.

The 'Gary Crowley Show' on BBC Radio London is also getting a blast of Mr Rotten this Saturday, 1st October, at 6pm-8pm.

An interview with John is due to be featured in this week’s ‘Sunday Times Culture’ (though it could possibly be held back to the following week). It’s also worth keeping an eye out on MTV 2’s ‘Gonzo’, and VH-1 ‘Classics’ in the next week or so…

Another worthy contender is this month’s ‘Boxing News’ which includes an article on Mr Lydon. ‘The Sunday Times’ to ‘The Boxing News’, it’s not bad is it? Pigeon hole that.

‘John Lydon’s Shark Attack’ has been shortlisted for the prestigious Grierson 2005 British Documentary Awards. It’s up against some pretty strong competition, but it’s a pretty strong show. It wouldn’t be there otherwise.

The show has been nominated in the “Best Documentary on Science or the Natural World” category. The winners will be announced at the Grierson Awards ceremony which takes place at the Royal Institution, London on Sunday, 27th November 2005. Full details of all the shortlisted films can be found on the Grierson Trust’s website.

John Lydon’s Megabugs coming soon to DVD! More info to follow ASAP.

Apologies to our non UK viewers but we have some more TV appearances for you…

The second part of 'Forty Years of Fuck' will be shown this Sunday, 18th September, at 10pm on BBC3. Last weeks show included the reaction to the Bill Grundy 'Today' show, this edition will feature John's infamous 'Cunning Stunts' comment on I'm a Celebrity. Hopefully John will feature a bit more than he did in the first show. You'd think after chasing him so hard they might actually have used more, but that's the BBC for you…

On the same night on ITV 1 at 8pm, the Sex Pistols will be inducted into the new UK "Avenue of the Stars" walkway in London's Covent Gardens. John has already recorded an acceptance. See, we did say John wouldn't be the only true star, and we didn't mean Benny Hill. It's about time the Sex Pistols got this kind of respect in the UK.

Channel 4's 'Popworld' may show their piece with John this Saturday, 17th September, at 10.30am. Though it could possibly be put back a couple of weeks, but be prepared get out your bed early just in case! John will be reviewing some of the latest pop videos… !

John appears on the (cheerily named) BBC3 documentary 'Forty Years of Fuck' tonight at 10.00pm. It is also repeated at 2.00 am and then again on Thursday at 12.10am. I'll let you guess what it's about.

As you may have saw below, John's previously mentioned interview for "50 Years of ITV" will be shown next weekend. More info soon…

As well as the previously mentioned recent TV appearances John also contributed to a "50 Years of ITV" special while he was over in the UK. The channel will be screening a selection of anniversary programmes over the next couple of weeks, but it’s likely that John’s interview will be used on ‘ITV’s 50 Greatest Shows’, this Saturday, 10th September at 7pm, but keep your eyes open just in case…
[it's now looking like it will be next weekend]

We have to point out that John went neither to praise nor to bury, but it’s safe to say he was careful to give them as much praise as they deserved!

And for once, he wasn’t the only true star, but more on that later…

Celebrity Shark Bait, ITV Sunday, 9pm. Hmnn, sounds a bit fishy to me. Surely it’s little more than picking the bones from a year old carcass?

Isn’t it nice to know they’re paying attention, but isn’t it sad to see they have to water it down.

There are far more untrustworthy Sharks in the media than there are in the Ocean…

John was more than willing to appear on a popular Irish TV show but it soon descended into the late, late, hurry up and wait show. He completely changed his plans to suit, but let it be the rabbit the Paddies wouldn’t back it. So much for your famous Irish hospitality? Thanks for denying the people of Ireland an honest conversation…

Quote from Johnny Rotten: funny, bunny, but it wasn’t even for the money.

Lock up your Grannies! John is interviewed in today's edition of The Sun newspaper.

On recent reports of an altercation between John and Jimmy Pursey… let it be the rabbit that John Lydon can still have it!

Sham: Pretence; thing that is not genuine. – a pretended; not genuine – v (shammed) pretend; pretend to be.

To tie in with the release of 'The Best of British £1 Notes' John has been conducting the press. Today he will be appearing on The Johnnie Walker show on BBC Radio 2 at 17.05 (GMT).

There will also be other radio appearances including The Gary Crowley show on BBC London, and Razor Cuts on Virgin Radio. Look out for TV appearances on MTV 1 & MTV 2, plus Channel 4's 'Popworld', and 'Heaven and Earth' on BBC 1 (Religion and Jesus Christ!).

The likes of Q Magazine, Record Collector, The Sun & The Sunday Times will also carry interviews towards the release of the album.
