Delia is credited with music for a BBC television programme "Famous Gossips" produced by Patrick Garland.
The BBC Genome Project lists:[1]
- 22 Aug. 1965 - John Aubrey: The Antiquary
- 29 Aug. 1965 - Parson Yorick: The Sentimental Traveller
- 01 Sep. 1965 - Harriette Wilson: Angelic Harry
- 12 Sep. 1965 - Charles Apperley: The Tribute to Squire Mytton
- 19 Sep. 1965 - Augustus Hare: The Years with Mother
- 26 Sep. 1965 - Oscar Wilde: Monsieur Sebastian Melmoth
and
- 21 Feb, 1968 - The Years with Mother: Alan Bennett plays Augustus Hare, presumably a repeat.
Its tape is dated 1st May 1965 and its catalogue entry says it was first broadcast on 22nd August of the same year[2] but we don't know if Delia's music was a theme for the whole series or only for the first episode.
Patrick Garland's "long-running West End production of Brief Lives came out of an episode about Aubrey in Famous Gossips (1965), the BBC television series Garland made with Bennett"[3] and one of Delia's Attic Tapes is labelled "Brief Lives"[4] as is a BBC tape credited to Brian Hodgson.[5]
