On 13th September 1966, Delia checked out a tape on which to create "music tracks" for a radio programme "Johnny's Jaunt" produced by R. Pelletier[1] or Brian Patten[2]
Johnny's Jaunt is a series of "brilliant travelogues" for radio in which the renowned zoologist Johnny Morris visits various countries around the world, broadcast from 1954 to 1972.[2]
From the BBC's tape catalogue notes:
(Johnny Morris). Music tracks and makeup followed by edited copy of programme
it appears that Delia's contribution was for one programme only in the series[1] but which?
The first episodes broadcast after September 1966 were Johnny's Jaunt U.S.A.: "Last October he jaunted 2,000 miles around north - east America and recalls his adventures in six programmes.":
- 1. New York (16 Feb 1967, 14th Jul 1967)
- 2. Massachusetts (23 Feb 1967)
- 3. (2 Mar 1967)
- 4. Buffalo, Niagra and Southern Ontario (9 Mar 1967, 28th Jul 1967)
