The Pink Floyd Pig on the BBC's One Show 10/05/17

Algie the pig outside the BBC to promote the Mortal Remains exhibition at the V&A Museum.

[@bengszy8124]

That pig carries such a dark theme from the album and now they discuss it in such a lighthearted manner

[@kevmc5033]

explain please

[@killawhatt8620]

Division of people.

[@rubberbudgies]

it;s the one show, it's a plastic tv show for bland, well adjusted people who've never had a troubled emotion in their lives, it's garbage, daytime tv is garbage.

It's one of a very few elite band who are painstakingly meticulous with every detail not just of their phenomenal music, but also of their live shows, props, album covers and art, merch, instruments, people, etc. That explained how they achieved their unequalled brilliance, supremacy, fan-love, and success. The band can demand it as they don't mind the monetary cost it may cost them, that's why their fans love them. The band deserved to command that level of respect and attention to detail which only a handful can do.

[@mikejacobson14]

What an incredibly amazing band. Almost superhuman. It's hard to believe how talented they are and just as hard to believe that they are no longer creating those masterpieces. RIP Richard Wright.

[@SDsailor7]

I wish they would toured that museum exhibition a lot of Pink Floyd history.

[@jbelcher74]

I agree. I wish they would bring it to NYC. I would gladly hand over my money to visit this exhibition.

[@1LaOriental]

It's supposed to tour for 10 years. I cannot imagine they would skip the US!

[@Fcutdlady]

It was a new pig on Pink Floyd's last 2 tours

[@stephenbrown4211]

I went to that exhibition, it was pretty amazing. Loved seeing all the stage props, the teacher from the Wall, the light bulb suit and the Gestapo style outfit Rogers wore in the concerts from The Wall. The best part was seeing the metalheads as that album cover Is pretty special. I bought The Division Bell in San Francisco and got ask the usual where you from question from the cashier. I replied, the UK. When asked Whereabouts I just said, "Oh about five miles from where that photo was taken". Then watched as the guys jaw hit the floor. He was a massive Floyd fan.

[@hahapack5308]

They should have flown the pig above the Finsbury Park mosque.

Best part of the video, mate!

[@satchfan2010]

I can't stand those awful presenters.

[@SKYLANDBAK]

satchfan2010 - Perhaps you can step up & do a better job..?

[@satchfan2010]

I wouldn't want to work for peado loving BBC.

[@seanlee8190]

Not the original algie either, the original was deemed not Air worthy in 2011 when the band wanted to use it again to help promote the remasters releases, I suppose this must be the replica they had made?

[@standandeliver8376]

Sean Lee, I'm not sure they would have been able to use the original even if it was in good condition. Since the legal "dispute" between Waters and the rest of the band in the eighties, they have been using a pig with testicles in their live shows to indicate that it is a different gender and therefore a different character.

[@torresderek69]

My favorite album glad i own a original copy!

[@Chrisdrumz]

Not the original pig. Also,the pig escapes the SECOND day of the shoot. The first days shoot was deemed unworthy because the sky was a plain blue. The marksmen didn't show the next day and that's when the Pig escaped. The pig on the cover was actually inserted later on because the background sky was so striking.

[@lazeaton2753]

I was clad I whent it took me 4 hours to walk around the exhibition what a day loads of grate stuff on display

[@davidhaney1394]

no mention of Syd on the plaque ????

[@jcurran01]

Syd didn't study architecture at the Regent. He was an artist and they all met him elsewhere.

[@jcw001]

How the fuck can you do a feature about Pink Floyd Album covers and not include Storm Thorgerson ? clueless

[@juissi954]

Might have something to do with the fact that he's dead

[@andybetts1484]

And also, they had the actual photographer there. Aubrey Powel... Storm didn't take the photo, he just designed the album cover.

[@peterion5083]

it genuinely seems as if all the presenters are on acid. Talk about over-preparation for a piece about Floyd.

[@ancyber6876]

Peter Ion Lol

[@SLAYERSWINE1]

I was 12 years old in '77 when Pink Floyd played Soldiers Field, Chicago. I was at Shedd Aquarium with my late Mom & brother, which was nearby to the concert. We saw the Pig floating around that day...

[@peterion5083]

plus , it was only Waters who studied architecture , not all of them. What a thoroughly uninformed and pathetic piece of broadcasting - amateurs all. Rick Wright would be turning in his grave at this mess.

[@nathanalcock6651]

Peter Ion Waters and Mason

[@Carpetlay1]

Peter Ion no it wasn't. It was Richard Wright and Nick Mason as well. The 3 of them met at Architect collage in Regent St. Roger, Syd and Dave Gilmour new each other from Cambridge from where they came. Don't bother replying. I'm not arguing about something I know to be fact

[@1LaOriental]

Yes, the three of them met at the Regent St. Polytechnic Institute.

[@peterion5083]

tufnell needs psychiatric attention , very quickly.

[@neilj6322]

A wall needs putting up around these presenters. Bet they know Brick In The Wall part 2 and that’s about it

[@sarahkinsey5434]

Ugghghgh I want to see that exhibition so bad but I live in the US. uggghh why couldn't i have been born in the UK

[@blachubear]

Hopefully it will come to Chicago like The Bowie & The Stones exhibition.

[@777jones]

I never thought I’d see a woman named Matt and a man named Anjelica!

[@paulbeadle1714]

What a album absolutely amazing love Pink Floyd seen then 4 times i was 6 when the Animals tour was never be another band as good and seeing them live was even better than I ever thought the light show was amazing also

[@Lakk6Metal]

i wish they could tour Norway With the Exhibition . Is damned expensive to travel to UK for it .

[@TehDubster]

Wish the museum toured America. Would have loved to had gone and seen it

[@scottbuscavage7361]

This is just such a marvel & great to see once again! Great piece of history

We are massively looking forward to seeing the exhibition on Sunday May 28th, and later that evening making our London debut at 229 The Venue, Great Portland Street. Come and see us to complete your Pink day. www.229thevenue.com/portfolio/pinked-floyd/. We even have a mini-Algie!

[@designerlarry]

Pink Floyd- jolly good show folks, I hope I can see it. Can't make it over the pond, sorry to say. Been a rough 10 years filled with poor health and caring for my Mom who sadly passed away this past March. But I've been a major Pink Floyd fan and seen every tour since 1975 in Philadelphia pa USA - starting with what was a jam session of sorts- a combination of Wish You Were Here and Animals- with interim song titles like Ravibg and Drooling, You Got To Be Crazy, etc. nobody knew what to expect. That's what made my first Pink Floyd concert a most memorable experience. And that mirror ball at the end of the first set- wow! Part if the exhibition I hear. Then 77- Animals- where Roger threatened to walk off the stage because imbeciles where exploding fireworks- I was equally pissed- And course- my still #1 concert of all time- Pink Floyd performing The Wall live at Nassau Coliseum- Because it was new music, very limited tickets I would never had scored had it not been for meeting the lovely girl who'se Mom worked the same ticket outlet that was so evasive when I tried getting tickets for Zep's physical graffiti tour. Too bad I hadn't met her 3 months earlier. Well, shine on, and I'll be joining you there- on tv anyway! Cheers!

[@sharkmanxbro7082]

I would love to see that Pink Floyd exhibit. They should set one up here in the states.
