Delia Derbyshire: The Myths and the Legendary Tapes

Docudrama portrait of Delia Derbyshire, the electronic sound pioneer behind the Doctor Who theme tune, exploring the idea that this extraordinary composer herself lived outside of time and space. Delia's story is told through two archives: the first, a collection of lost works, 267 reels of quarter-inch magnetic tape recordings of Delia's work found in her attic after her death, the other, her school books, paintings and keepsakes, discovered in her childhood bedroom.
