Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bob Geldof had never acted before and only took the role because he hated Pink Floyd. He couldn't swim and nearly drowned filming the pool scene.
The 'Another Brick in the Wall' sequence with faceless students was so controversial that actual teachers protested screenings. Mission accomplished, Roger.
