Delia Derbyshire, pioneering electronic composer, has been brought up in these pages before.  With productions such as the “Doctor Who” theme to her credit, she and the rest of the Radiophonic Workshop were a huge influence on the modern Cornish electronic scene.  On May 28 the BBC is airing a documentary on the Radiophonic Workshop featuring Ms. Derbyshire and other composers.  I hope we can manage to see it here somehow-- does anyone in Cascadia get BBC Four on cable?

Here’s a BBC page featuring a short clip with Ms. Derbyshire’s creepy and wonderful “Ziwhzi Ziwhzi oo-oo-oo.”
