'''Zinovieff:''' Oh! I formed a group called [[Unit Delta Plus]] and I got Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson from the BBC to join me. Um. The idea was that we would make a fortune doing commercial sounds and I wasn't interested in doing commercial sounds. We did one commercial sound called [[Philips]] which was something like “wup!” and that was it. We got a lot of money for that but I didn't want to do that so we split after a bit and they went on. But they didn't succeed either.
