''[In making ''[[Ziwzih Ziwzih OO-OO-OO]]''] ''I used just this one bar repeated which had [previously] been rejected from a science and health program for being too lascivious for the schoolchildren. It was like a science program... it was supposed to be about sex, but under another name. And then the producer had the nerve to turn down my music, saying it was too lascivious. It was just twangy things with electronic pick-ups, and I just used a single note and then did little glissandos on it and pitched it and treated it.''<ref>Delia in the [[Surface interview]].</ref><br />

<br />
It is not totally clear whether the Producer of the infamous "lascivious" comment was Kilham Roberts or Smee. The subtitle used on [[BBC Radiophonic Workshop 21]] could be read as ironic, but it seems more likely that the credited Producer and ex-teacher Kilham Roberts, who was from an older generation, not the actor Michael 'Mike' Smee, was the one. <br />

In a draft version of the script for the Reeling and Writhing play, scriptwriter Nicola McCartney has the following dialogue about the event:<br />

From context this is teh vewi of a Producer. Also this cannot be Parker, who has said she never met Delia, let alone saw her studio,</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Wee Have Also Sound Houses]] is a BBC radio documentary about the history of the Radiophonic Workshop, first broadcast on 1st April 1979.<ref name=genome/><br />
<br />
In it, Delia speaks about the working conditions at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and in the background it includes some of her music ''[[I.E.E.100]]'', ''[[Rorate Coeli]]'' and the only known audio fragment of ''[[The Cyprian Queen]]''.<br />
<br />

(15:06) <I>When I first came here I was expecting to find beautiful chromium-plated<br />
equipment and everyone wearing white coats and in fact I found the tattiest<br />
studio all full of virtually redundant antique equipment.</I><br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
(15:51) <I>Well, as far as I know, I don't think there was much of a budget for<br />
new equipment.</I><br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
(16:09) <I>In fact, at one point, even several years afterwards, the BBC was setting up<br />
an engineering museum and they sent a list round to all the departments saying<br />
"You've probably got this equipment lying around. You can't be using now,<br />
it's so old. Please will you donate it to the Engineering Museum" and when I<br />
read this list it was virtually a catalogue of the complete equipment of<br />
the Radiophonic Workshop.</I><br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
(20:21) <I>Quite early on in my time here, 1963, we were asked to realise a score by [[Ron Grainer]] which was to be the title music of, I think, a very short series which is still running to this day.<br />
That's, of course, [[Doctor Who]]. At the time I don't think this been done, actually realising another composer's score. There were some rather vague indications of sounds like &lsquo;clouds&rsquo; and &lsquo;wind bubble&rsquo; but, of course, that was still done on these old valve oscillators. Each of those swoops that you hear is a very carefully timed hand swoop cut together but with luck one doesn't hear the joins.</I><br />

'''Female voice ([[Molly Cox]]?):''' I came along and met the beautiful Delia Derbyshire. She always said that a very important part of her music was wine bottles in different stages of emptiness, pitching them up and pitching them down to use them as part of the sound. I don't know whether that was true but they were always there.<br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<br />
30:38-31:53 has ''[[I.E.E.100]]'' as the background music.<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
(30:32) <I>And then of course synthesizers started to be made</I> [...] [''I.E.E.100'' begins] ''and I was really looking forward to having synthesizers because I knew it would speed up the work so much'' [...] ''and, though I was looking forward to being able to do things much more quickly but [...] I think I'm still disappointed with synthesizers and what one can do with them, with the flexibility of them. I'd still like to get inside them somewhere and make it do a more human sound than what it does.''<br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<br />
34:16-34:36 has a background which may be Delia's.<br />
<br />
38:45 has a background of ''[[Rorate Coeli]]'' from ''[[Amor Dei]]'' and Delia speaks over it<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
'''Delia:''' ''When I was doing the Inventions with [[Barry Bermange]], he wanted sounds which would sound like a Gothic altarpiece. &ldquo;Oh,&rdquo; I said, &ldquo;yes! What a good idea. But what do you really mean? What sort of sounds?&rdquo; He said, &ldquo;Well, give me a pencil and paper.&rdquo; I did and with great care and elaboration he drew me a beautiful Gothic altarpiece and said &ldquo;'''That's''' the sort of sound I want.&rdquo;.''<br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
it continues (39:21), with music for [[Cyprian Queen]] from 39:35<br />
<BLOCKQUOTE><br />
'''Michael Bakewell:''' Delia Derbyshire created some very, very beautiful things and some things that had a kind of very strange and unearthly quality that couldn't quite be got, I think, by normal musical means [''Clip begins''] and yet ''didn't'' sound as if they were electronically manufactured. We did a play called ''[[The Cyprian Queen]]''. Delia created a marvellous kind of strange, unearthly flute music.<br />
<BR><br />
'''Delia:''' ''The sound I made in a fascinating way is a great hook-up in the workshop. Oh, my goodness, you should see the workshop sometimes, like Spaghetti Junction. There's tapes going round on loops, very, very long ones sometimes going out into the corridor. On this occasion it was a tiny loop, though.''<br />
</BLOCKQUOTE><br />
<br />
43:37 starts a montage of treated voice clips over an unidentified background.<br />
In it, Delia says ''That's the sound I want'' and ''Everybody was working in one room.''<br />

''Now let us go back to the last fifties, early sixties. Dave Brubeck had done "Take Five" and in '61 he'd done "It's a Raggy Waltz" so - that was in seven time - so I thought "Fine! I'm into the numbers game. I'll do eleven time and thirteen time", continuing the series of prime numbers. But unfortunately that style, I was told, was "too sophisticated for the BBC2 audience" and so, as I was doing it, the choreographer [[Vin Davies]] happened to be walking down the corridor and his feet started tapping and he said "I want that!" and I said "No, you can't!

In fact it was the [[Frankie Howerd]] and [[Cilla Black]] show it was originally done for, but it had to be scrapped from that because they did the stupid thing of putting this rather delicate music as an opener to the second act.
