A mad cow jumping over the moon...

If it's the moon landing and Apollo - well Apollo lived on Olympus, but then that wouldn't fit anything else.

I still think Ofca's onto something with Orbit.

Hmmm.

Right event. The precise date is not of significance.

Desert Island Films produced and/or released Orlando... BSE research carried out in Orlando....? Not sure of the Apollo 11 link, except that Orlando is in Florida, from which it took off.

Apollo 11 is not relevant. Think of what they did.

The Kennedy Space Centre (Center?) is in Orlando

I didn't know this either!!!

If I were of a referee-like mentality, my hand would perhaps be moving thoughtfully towards the pocket with the yellow cards: can "monothematic" be described as a "thing", "a musical something" as per the clues? I for one was looking for something concrete (I was thinking 'metronome'

), not a characteristic or a concept.

I suppose we'll just chalk it down as "fiendish"

They walked on the Moon. Sting recorded Walking on the Moon and the video was shot at the Kennedy Space Centre in Orlando.

I've never seen a concrete metronome
