Published as a hardback edition in May 2019, Pink Floyd - Captured Through Time is being published as a paperback on September 24th, 2021.

Captured Through Time is a photographic celebration of the band that takes you on a journey from the psychedelic, avant-garde sixties to recent days including off stage shots of all the band members. The publishers note that before this book, many of the photos had never been published in print before, including a sequence of shots from the Animals tour in 1977 that had only just been developed from the original negatives and digitally restored for this publication.

In total, the book has over 100 images of Pink Floyd both on and off stage through the decades included in this paperback book. If you wish to order this book, you can do so through the following links; ordering (anything) through our links also helps with BD's ongoing running costs, and we really appreciate it: Amazon UK, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon Spain and Amazon Italy.

On October 13th 2021, 'Portrait Artist of the Year' will make a return to the UK's Sky Arts channel and streaming service NOW for its eighth season - and yes, there's relevance to Pink Floyd fans!

The series 'Portrait Artist of the Year', with hosts Stephen Mangan and Joan Bakewell, brings together a batch of amateur and professional artists as they battle it out to impress expert judges Tai Shan Schierenberg, Kathleen Soriano and Kate Bryan.

Taking the famous subject’s chair this year are: Celeste (Singer/Songwriter), Kelly MacDonald (Actor), Gabrielle (Singer/songwriter), Lydia West (Actor), Nish Kumar (Comedian), Alexa Chung (Model/TV Presenter), Alistair Campbell (Politician), Ian Hislop (Journalist), Hugh Skinner (Actor), Daniel Mays (Actor), Gyles Brandreth (former politician) Emma Dabiri (Author), Sophie Cookson (Actor), Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (Actor), Polly Walker (Actor), Philip Glenister (Actor), Chris Packham (Naturalist), Ali Jawad (Paralympic powerlifter), Arlene Phillips (Dancer), Grace Neutral (TV Presenter), Maggie Aderin-Pocock (Scientist), Sergei Polunin (Ballet dancer), Karen Gibson (Conductor) and David Olosuga (Historian).

Nine artists compete in each of the eight heats, and each heat winner will go on to paint none other than Nick Mason, taking a break from the preparations for the Saucerful Of Secrets tour next year, in the semi-final. For the grand finale, three finalists will battle it out to take home the crown, painting the iconic Barry Humphries, best known for his on-stage and television alter ego Dame Edna Everage. This season’s Portrait Artist of the Year winner will receive a £10,000 commission to paint the esteemed Scottish-Italian classical solo violinist, Nicola Benedetti, which will be exhibited at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

Portrait Artist of the Year will air on Sky Arts, Freeview Channel 11, and streaming service NOW. Episode screening dates and times aren't yet available.

Some important, breaking news regarding the latest staging of The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains, which we hope that any of you who already have tickets, aren't inconvenienced by the change, noted below, too much.

The exhibition, being held at the Vogue Multicultural Museum in Los Angeles, was due to open on August 3rd (just over a week's time) but has been unavoidably delayed, with the new start date noted as September 3rd, 2021. The exhibition will run until January 9th, 2022 at this Hollywood Boulevard location.

In the announcement about the delay, they note that "the many containers filled with Pink Floyd's artefacts, stage sets, and private collections were shipped from the UK with an extensive lead time but coming out of the pandemic, there are many delays in global freight. These containers have now safely arrived in LA.

"Existing ticket holders for August will be notified via email about how to reschedule their dates at no additional cost. Ticket holders may contact the Vogue Multicultural Museum at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with questions about the ticket exchange process.

"The Exhibition teams would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding."

You can buy tickets for the exhibition, and get more details, at VMMLA.com. Admission prices range from $30 to $46 (plus applicable fees), and the audioguide is included in the price. Those who have been to previous stagings of the exhibition will know how good the audioguide is - an essential part of the incredible experience!
