Sex Pistols Swearing Outburst 'Most Requested TV Clip'

An early morning interview with the Sex Pistols, in which members of the band swear frequently, is the most requested TV clip ever.

The interview caused uproar when it was originally aired in December 1976, prompting a barrage of complaints.

The second most popular TV clip is Pamela Anderson's running scene from Baywatch, according to FremantleMedia Archives, who have published the list to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Other popular TV spots include Leona Lewis's victory on 2007's edition of X-Factor.

"While talent show winners like Paul Potts and Leona Lewis dominate the requests we receive for TV clips, it is classic shows from the 70s and 80s which seem to have enduring appeal,” said Gordon Craig, head of archive sales at FME .

"There is definitely a growing appetite for clips on the internet and mobile and we are in the process of digitising our library to make even more memorable TV moments available."
