Delia created sound for an episode called Violence of the BBC series One Pair of Eyes, produced by J. Irvin, whose tape catalogue entry is dated 1st November 1967 and which was broadcast on the 22nd August 1968.[1] Presumably, this was incidental music for one episode of the series, in which the person of the month talks about violence.
Its tape catalogue entry is dated 1st November 1967 and says it was broadcast on the 22nd August 1968[2] but I doubt this, as every other episode from 1968 was broadcast on a Saturday, while the 22nd of August was a Thursday.

One Pair of Eyes
A series of highly personal films
Gerald Scarfe says "I think I see violence all around me."
The sheer ferocity of a Scarfe cartoon, stripping his subjects of any human dignity and reducing them to a kind of sub-animal level, provokes a violent reaction in many people.
'I expected to find myself working with a suppurating sore,' said one of the animators on this film, 'but he's not like that at all...' Even his victims, when they meet the artist face to face, are often surprised to find themselves in the presence of such a mild, gentle sort of person.
In this disturbing, at times horrifying film, Gerald Scarfe may not solve the riddle of his own conflicting nature but he certainly casts a blinding light on it.
Executive producer Christopher Ralling
