Delia's created music for two episodes of the programme The Long Polar Walk, of which two extracts were reused in the 1972 documentary On The Rim in Spitzbergen.[1].
I loved creating the score for the TV programme The Long Polar Walk, I had to get the feeling of trudging through snow. I worked all night on that one, until the cleaners came in. I remember using one of them as a guinea-pig on that track. I asked her how my music made her feel and she said, 'Oh really shivery!' I knew I'd succeeded.
-- Delia in the Soundhouse interview
Dudley Simpson also created music in 1968 for "The Long Polar Walk: Wally Herbert expedition"[2] and 1968 is also the date given for The Long Polar Walk in James Percival's catalogue of Delia's works in which he also writes that the Attic Tapes only contain "component sounds for the now-lost The Long Polar Walk", apparently unaware of the copies in the Radiophonic Archive.[3]
