The interview began with Grundy introducing the band, stating "they are as drunk as I am... they are clean by comparison," although Grundy later denied being intoxicated during the interview to the press. The interview resumed following a playing of the music video for the song "Anarchy in the U.K." It was evident Grundy was attempting to provoke the band from the beginning of the interview, speaking to viewers instead of directly to them and referring to them as "that group" – in his challenging of them over what he felt was possible hypocrisy – in terms of the philosophy of punk. Initially, he received mocking but relatively innocuous responses from then-bassist Glen Matlock.
