But - on the same subject - I've always wondered about the money they made from "Tardis", too.  I'm presuming they took home about a third of the overall royalties (although subsequent cases like the Verve Vs the Rolling Stones might suggest they took home less than that). 

Was the royalties from "Tardis" really enough to not only fund a road movie made with an Indiana Jones movie crew, but also all the failed projects and small-selling indie releases from summer 1988 to summer 1990?  BD says on the Brandnew interview that, just prior to WTIL Live being released, the KLF were basically at the last throw of the dice financially - without another hit, they would have gone bankrupt.

But could the band really live, and produced many aborted art projects, for two years of the Timelords' (ahem) divided royalties?

only let us see what they want us to see, they did seem remarkably calm about it all.

This always bothered me - apologies if it's been scraped through 
before - but if you look at the Omnibus programme, at approx. 07:08 
minutes in, they show the statement for KLF communications, displaying 
the 1,000,000 quid withdrawal, but two lines down there's clearly a 
deposit of 1,130,000 - i.e they withdrew a million then almost 
immediately deposited just over a million.

I've heard this before but I'm sure on the "Burn A Million Quid" film 
or on the Omnibus
Documentary for the BBC there is a close up camera shot of the bank 
statement showing the
?1,000,000 withdrawal
