The UK's BBC TV has a children's show, called Storymakers, which obviously has a Pink Floyd fan on their writing staff.
The show features several mini-stories in each episode. Earlier this week they had a story starring a regular character called "Blue Cow", who likes to go on "adventures". She decided she wanted to go somewhere where the sun didn't shine, so she caught a bus to the dark side of the moon where she met a pink coloured robot called "Floyd"! Our thanks to Martin Booth who was fortunate enough to catch this, and dropped us a line to let us know.

We have been contacted by the bfi (british film institute) today, with news that they are releasing Barbet Schroeder's 1969 film, "More", for the first time on DVD in the UK on July 28th.
Famous for its subdued, moody Pink Floyd soundtrack, featuring songs like Green Is The Colour, Cymbaline, and The Nile Song, the film is based on a true story. The tale follows the naive Stefan in his pursuit of "offbeat" American Estelle to the island paradise of Ibiza. He leads a seemingly idyllic life with her by the sea, before succumbing to the destructive trappings of heroin addiction.

The UK newspaper the Daily Express reported on July 9th that David Gilmour is "mightily peeved that his 12-year-old son Charlie has become much better than him on the saxophone after they started taking lessons together."
Gilmour sighed: "The problem is, I still can't read music properly. I'm up to a decent level now but Charlie has overtaken me. Young minds are more keen to take these things up, you see." Sounds like Dick Parry isn't yet out of a job performing the solo in Shine On!

The official timings from the hillclimb event, the centrepiece of the Goodwood Festival Of Speed, are now in. The event involves driving from the bottom of the main part of Goodwood estate, past Goodwood House (Lord March's home), and up a steep hill, passing extremely close to things like flint walls - not renowned for being car-bodywork friendly!
Not all cars post official times, just doing demonstration runs, but others compete to be the best of their class.
Saturday had Nick Mason post fourth fastest time in his class, getting up the hill in 80.1 seconds in his Ferrari 512S. Steve O'Rourke, the band's manager, took part in his McLaren BMW F1 GTR "Longtail", and was second in his class, at 60.22 seconds.
Sunday didn't see a time posted by Nick, but Steve was fourth in his class at 61.72 seconds.
