  • She asks who Delia is as a prompt to get Mark Ayres to tell us. Asking questions that the viewer would ask as a long used technique to illicit info from the interviewee. It's better that Mark or Dick tells us rather than the presenter

  • Putting up with the breakfast TV presenters is challenging, but Dick and Mark - and their work - are just fabulous.

  • The BBC Radiophonic Workshop produced a lovely version of a Welsh Folk song called Tros y Garreg (Over The Rock) which they used to play when BBC TV handed over to BBC Cymru Wales.

  • @hafstrat PS - the AKS had the keyboard and sequencer, the A didnt.

  • Geess an EMS AKS, The portable VCS3 - the 1st synth I ever doodled on.

  • @anorak103, she is most likely asking who delia derbyshire is for the edification of the viewer, not for her own knowledge.

  • Cool! His box of tricks is an EMS Synthi A

  • It makes me sad to watch this.

    Scrapping the Workshop was a big mistake. Look at how much the BBC spend on commissioning music & fx from outside for radio & TV - the Workshop could clearly cover its own costs.

    "Who is Delia Derbyshire?" she asks. Wouldn't you hope they would at least know a basic amount before doing the interview? Otherwise why are they paid to do the job if someone in the street could ask those same questions?

    The final 5 seconds remind us how BBC standards have slipped!
