Hi all ..just thought peops on this list might be interested in a
Radio Play the BBC is broadcasting  next Monday, 23rd December,
on the life/work of Delia Derbyshire, at 14.15 GMT, on Radio4 FM.
I believe you can also tune in via the web (check the BBC radio4 website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/ )

Here is some info on the play from the Delia Derbyshire website
(www.deliaderbyshire.org)

"The BBC will shortly be recording a radio play based upon Delia's life.
Blue Veils and Golden Sands, written by Martin Wade and produced by Cherry
Cookson, will dramatise episodes from Delia's life, featuring characters
such as Peter Kember (playing himself), Anthony Newley and, of course, Ron
Grainer. Other roles include Delia's school careers officer and her senior
tutor at Cambridge University. The soundtrack is by Elizabeth Parker
(herself formerly of the Radiophonic Workshop) and will include Blue Veils
and Golden Sands, The Delian Mode and Moogies Bloogies, as well as
additional music by Experimental Audio Research, Aphex Twin and Orbital.

The play will be recorded at Delaware Road, using the same rooms and
corridors in which Delia worked. This promises to be a very authentic and
touching tribute to one of electronic music's unsung pioneers. "
