1967 Pink Floyd Movie

In April of 1967, the press widely reported Pink Floyd filming a 30 minute film entitled "The Life Story of Percy the Ratcatcher." As many of us know, "Percy the Ratcatcher" was the working title of "Lucifer Sam." This film supposedly followed the life of Percy (hence the title.) Some say that it was a one-off, others that it was going to be a TV show. Can anybody tell us more about the Floyd's first, failed feature film?

Wasn't it meant to be a cartoon, but never got past the conceptualization stage?

No, the cartoon was in 1970. It was called "Rollo," and a pilot was made. I'm not sure if it was ever aired, or if it still exists even.

For some reason, this topic has been getting a lot of web traffic recently out of the blue! I wonder why?

I didn't know Lucifer Sam had a working title Percy the Ratcatcher!

According to the Pink Floyd Encyclopedia by Vernon Finch, shooting for the Percy the Rat Catcher film began on the 24th April 1967 but was never finished. That means out there somewhere are bits of this intended TV show
