[[Stuart Maconie]] created a documentary all about Delia Derbyshire's life and work for the BBC TV series ''Inside Out West Midland'', broadcast on BBC1 on 15th November 2010.

=Extracts=
It contains part of a "interview broadcast now for the very first time" in which Delia says:
<BLOCKQUOTE><I>
The sounds of the air raid sirens - it's an abstract sound and it's meaningful.
You know, there was the sound of the "All Clear". Well, that was electronic
music in those days.
</I></BLOCKQUOTE>

There is also the classic quote from the BBC Radio Scotland interview:
<BLOCKQUOTE><I>
I was told in no uncertain terms that the BBC does not employ composers. And so it was only by gradually infiltrating the system that I managed to do music. I think you'd call that music, wouldn't you?
</I></BLOCKQUOTE>

[[Brian Hodgson]] also appears and says:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
She was a sound lady. She loved sound. She loved a thunderstorm. I remember having a whole day when she didn't speak to me until this thunder storm at night and she turned to me and said "''Ah, the sound of thunder! Absolutely wonderful!''"
</BLOCKQUOTE>

while [[Mark Ayres]] says:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
She was not a person for deadlines. She liked being creative. Deadlines weren't creative, so very frustrated with that.
</BLOCKQUOTE>

It also teases us with some shots of twirling school photos dangling in the air on threads and poorly lit, presumably of Delia at school and university.
