Gilmour children cast in “Downton Abbey”

Posted August 8, 2013 by Floydian Slip

Two of David Gilmour‘s children have been cast in roles on the television program “Downton Abbey.”

The Pink Floyd guitarist’s son, Gabriel, 16, and daughter, Romany, 11, are working as extras on the period drama.

Gilmour was pictured at the set during a shoot in Oxfordshire, England, this week, looking as if he were channeling Ernest Hemingway.

These episodes being shot for the fourth season will air in the U.K. later this year. The fourth season will air in the U.S. in early ’14.

Dark Side-inspired radio play to premiere Aug. 26

Posted August 7, 2013 by Floydian Slip

“Darkside,” a radio drama by noted playwright Tom Stoppard (center) inspired by Pink Floyd’s 1973 “The Dark Side of the Moon,” will premiere on BBC Radio 2 on Monday, Aug. 26 at 10 p.m.

The production, commissioned by the BBC, was recently previewed for an invite-only audience of dignitaries, including Floyd drummer Nick Mason, at a BBC “happening.” Attendees donned headphones and were treated to a simultaneous light show.

“I love it,” Mason told The Independent. “But I’m tempted to text Tom and tell him it’s really great — but there was a lot of actors talking over the music.”

Stoppard’s first major success was “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead” in 1966. He also wrote “Shakespeare in Love,” “Arcadia” and “The Real Thing.” His play “Rock ‘n Roll” drew inspiration from the life of Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett.

Read details about “Darkside” at The Independent website.
