Door To Door is a thirty-second musical piece, originaly created for Radio Leeds women's programme,[1] whose rhythm track is constructed from the recorded sounds of door knockers and bells. It

“shows that she could also do the upbeat promotional thing well; the rings and knocks are worked perfectly into the perfect 60s advertising campaign soundtrack.”[2]

When she heard it during the Radio Scotland interview, it "reduced her to fits of giggles" and she said “Well, I think that's really at the more trivial end of what I did. Yes, isn't it jolly?

Radio Leeds was launched in 1968 and Delia produced four other musics for it, so we date this piece to 1968.
