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.

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

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!
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.
