Things of Interest # 1:
Delia Derbyshire Documentary on Radio 4.

“Sculptress of Sound: The Lost Works of Delia Derbyshire”, it’s called. I listened to it whilst having my tea this evening. Pretty great programme actually – tends to resort to a few generalisations and obvious observations etc, as you’d expect, but the bits where they break down the construction of the Dr. Who theme and “Blue Veils & Golden Sands” track by track is pretty mind-blowing, as are the brief extracts from unreleased tapes, bits of music presented in their original context as part of radio shows etc.

Available on the BBC iPlayer for another seven days here.
