Delia Derbyshire — BBC Inside Out feature

Stuart Maconie discovers how a Coventry music pioneer came up with one of TV's most famous theme tunes.

Includes fragments of unbroadcast interview, convention footage and programme clips, and brief interviews with Brian Hodgson, Mark Ayres (Radiophonic Workshop archivist) and David Butler (lecturer, University of Manchester). Video footage of Coventry, Maida Vale, equipment (including a working 'Crystal Palace'), and NOVARS (Manchester's electroacoustic studios and research centre).

It's a reasonable overview, but see also the Sculptress of Sound documentary (Radio 4) also on my Channel.
