The was a TV program on over here at Xmas about a car rally round
Mexico (called the Panamericana or something). Dave and another Floyd
member whose name I can't remember took part in an old Jag XK120
(I think). Unfortunately, part way through, they managed to trash the
car. I can't remember exactly, but I think Dave was injured in the
accident, but I don't think it was particulary serious (broken leg or
something).

Anyway, he survived to write the accompanying music for the program
and produce it too.

He was also in a spoof documentary on Xmas day about a childrens'
animated TV series of the 60s/70s ("The Return of the Magic
Roundabout"), saying earnestly how influential the psychedelic nature
of The Magic Roundabout was on the Floyd's music....
