DD145456: Delia's orange folder "TRW 7598: Wildlife Safari to the Argentine" containing her papers for it

Delia created the title music and sound for a BBC Network TV programme Wildlife Safari to the Argentine produced by Jeffery Boswall for BBC TV Bristol.[1]

It was shot from October 1971 to March 1972, edited April 1972 to October 1972 and transmitted October 1972 to December 1972,[2] while its tape's catalogue entry is dated May 1972.[1]

It is also referred to as "Wildlife Safari to Argentina" and "Wildlife Safari to Southern South America".

Delia seems to have been very pleased with the result, as in one of her pages of notes, she writes "Tell Roger to remind me to jump up and down with delight".[3]
