Delia Derbyshire, the musician who first realised Dick Grainger's theme tune for Dr Who, as one of the first fully electronic signature tunes recorded died last week.  I find it hard to believe that the original version of the Dr Who music, that captured the imaginations of so many of us in our youths, cannot have been a great influence on the likes of Del Detmar, Dik Mik and Dave.
