This does make me wonder what Delia would have done with a Commodore Amiga or an Atari ST! How prolific a composer of music for video games she would have been had the BBC had their own software house, supporting our burgeoning games industry instead of slandering it!

14:03 ..My gawd ..being obscure for the sake of being obscure ? God forbid playing the actual Dr.Who theme👍😵 Unbelievable how she left it all behind....It seems she was totally dependent on the Radiophonic Workshop and its hardware. She could've bought a few tape machines and still kept on producing great sounds like Brian Eno did in his own home..... She must've become totally disillusioned. Making such iconic musical pieces and hardly receiving any credit or even financial reward. Apparently she even hadn't enough money to fix her front teeth ?

Delia was unquestionably held back by those people in charge of the BBC. Robbed. IMHO.
Delia Derbyshire was a Mathematician and Electronic Music Pioneer Genius. If you’ve ever wondered how early electronic musicians worked in a time before computers and synthesizers, the answer is: very laboriously. In the 1960s, composing electronic music the analog way meant working with magnetic tape, which is a cumbersome, finicky medium that demands time, exactness, and perfectionism. The innovation of magnetic tape was that it allowed artists to manipulate natural and found sound once it had been recorded. This is a short documentary on Delia's work.Ron Grainer‘s Doctor Who theme is an iconic masterpiece. But most people don't know that it was a pioneering woman called Delia Derbyshire who created all the sounds and arranged the Dr Who theme. Ron Grainer wanted her credited as co-composer, but because the BBC preferred to keep the members of the Workshop anonymous, Derbyshire’s genius was not recognized, as it should have been, at the time of her creative output. She was never credited as a composer and never saw financial residuals for her work. During her eleven years at the Workshop, Derbyshire would create music and sound for almost two-hundred radio and television programs, including the hauntingly iconic theme song for Doctor Who. - I did not write this, these are quotes from other sources.

@@christopherlawley1842 Just heard another bit: I recognise the quote from Delia's interviews, but the voice isn't hers. Perhaps they couldn't get the rights to use the original interview recordings? Or perhaps they just wanted the words to be more audible than on those interviews, that were mostly conducted down a 'phone line.

@@therealpbristow and @christopher Lawley thank you for your answers. I was confused by the fact that the voice-overs sounds very similar to the one in The Delian Mode - which is an original interview in the studio, but the sound is too clear and clean that it seems impossibile, even considering the very young age embodied by that voice in this documentary. I am writing an essay on Delia and I wanted to be sure that it wasn't her speaking. :-) thank you
