Delia created title music and effects for a BBC TV programme Counterstrike produced by Antony Kearey which were never used because the project was "shelved because of "The Invaders" on ITV".[1]
The project was revived in 1969 and went on air with music and effects credited to Brian Hodgson, directed by Henri Safran.[2]
The first episode aired on 8th September 1969[3] and the following episodes aired on BBC One at 21.10:
- 6 October 1969: ""Sir Charles Munday is the richest man in the world. Might there be a Centauran plan to murder him? Directed by Henri Safran."[4]
- 20 October 1969: "A hundred and forty-three people in one small seaside town commit suicide by drowning. Or were they under some strange and alien influence? Simon decides they probably were ..."[5]
- 27 October 1969: "In a period of student riots, strong calls for a return to ' law and order' are made by General Falcon, a blood-and-guts commander of the Korean war. Suddenly he starts to emerge as an important political figure capable of swaying public and government opinion during an international crisis. Such a man, Simon King decides, is dangerous."[6]
- 10 November 1969 21.10: "A deadly new germ gets loose at a biological warfare laboratory. Can an antidote be found before the germ spreads into a killer plague? Producer, Patrick Alexander; Directed by William Sterling"[7][8]
but the theme music has nothing to do with Delia:
