Last year, the work of Gerald Scarfe, the world-famous British icon of social and political caricature - and collaborator with Pink Floyd for various 1970s projects most notably The Wall, and Roger's Pros and Cons - had its Czech premiere at the Egon Schiele Art Centrum in Český Krumlov.

The exhibition of more than 100 large-format drawings and watercolours closed in October 2012, but some great news for our Czech friends: the exhibition is finally opening at the beautiful (and now dry) Kampa Museum in Prague on July 24th 2013 and will run there until October 13th 2013. The Museum is situated on the eastern bank of the Kampa Island on the River Vltava, and the original opening of the exhibition on June 6th was cancelled due to the terrible flooding in the area.

Assuming the exhibition transfers in its entirety from its Krumlov staging, it should offer the following:

• political and social commentary and caricatures of British and world politicians, the Royal Family, but also Czechoslovak politicians from 1969
• cartoons of showbusiness personalities (Woody Allen, Mick Jagger, Madonna...)
• set and costume design for the English National Opera (Orpheus in the Underworld)
• album artwork for the Pink Floyd album The Wall - and the new exhibition poster shows The Teacher (looking a little more like Scarfe than we've seen previously) to hint at the contents of the show
• designs for the Walt Disney film Hercules (Scarfe was the first outside designer to work with the studio since Salvador Dalí!)
• creation of the title sequence for the Yes Minister series which appeared on BBC television

Back in January we told you about a new combination boxset commemorating various festivals from the 1970s, which Genesis and Pink Floyd participated in.

The promoters of the original events had produced a limited Bath and Knebworth Pink Floyd commemorative set limited to just 200 which featured many items that were not included with the first version of the set (which we reviewed here). These two sets proved very popular with many Floyd fans who bought it, and some of these fans were keen for their Genesis box set too. To cater for the crossover a special new combined set which includes both the Floyd, and Genesis, was put together - which promptly sold out again!

So, a new combined limited Pink Floyd/Genesis set has been created, this time in a silver box (colour, not real!), which combines all the goodies from Bath 1970, Knebworth 75 and Knebworth 78 festivals and is only £54.99 instead of £99.98 if the Pink Floyd and Genesis sets were purchased separately. These include t-shirts, replica tickets and programmes, posters, flyers, photos, DVDs and a lot more.

A month ago, we told you about a new 12-minute animated film based on the tribulations of the Floyd's lighting director at Detroit's Olympia Stadium, 23rd June 1973. The film, 'Bad Day At The Office', was created by a film-maker fan of the band who created a tongue in cheek animation based on an actual recording of Floyd lighting designer Arthur Max grappling with the technical challenge of working with a brand-new follow-spot crew.

At the time, the venue policy was to use only in-house staff who were more used to covering ice hockey events. The film shows an animated version of Arthur Max trying to work with these new people, and is accompanied by a live rendition of Obscured by Clouds. Some of you will have heard the audio of this during the fourth of the six part Capital Radio Pink Floyd Story from 1976/77, and will know just how amusing it is as Max figuratively pulls his hair out at the people running the lighting. The good news is that the video is just as funny.

Directed by animator Cliff Port and produced by Simone Kay, the world premiere for 'Bad Day at the Office' was at this year's sold out Glastonbury Festival, last weekend, but now they have released the film on YouTube:

On October 2nd, 2013, another book - 'Pink Floyd: Behind The Wall' - joins the shelves of publications looking at the history of the band. The publishers promise "the first complete illustrated history of Pink Floyd from 1965 through today" in this book by noted author and music journalist, Hugh Fielder.

There are of course a number of books along these lines, but hopefully this book will bring the story right up to date with Roger's 2013 tour included. 'Pink Floyd: Behind The Wall' is said to recount "the band's entire history, analyzes their recordings, and provides a complete discography. Readers will discover stories behind the band’s formation, recordings, and tours, as well as the bitter disputes, both public and private. Complemented with more than 250 images, including live performance and candid off-stage photographs, as well as rare memorabilia like gig posters, concert tees, picture sleeves, backstage passes, buttons, and ticket stubs."

We're hoping to bring you a review of this book closer to the date of publication, but in the meantime, if you wish to add this to your collection anyway, you can save up to 22% on the normal selling price through these direct links: Amazon UK, Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon Espana and Amazon Italy, who all run a pre-order price guarantee, which means if they price match any other retailer between now and release, or indeed drop the price further, you automatically pay the lowest price.
