One Pair of Eyes was a series of monthly TV[1] programmes "in which people give their own views on a subject close to their heart"[2] which ran from 6th May 1967[3] to 1984.[1]

Delia created sound for one episode called Violence, produced by J. Irvin, whose tape catalogue entry is dated 1st November 1967 and says it was broadcast on the 22nd August 1968[4] but I doubt this, as every other episode from 1968 was broadcast on a Saturday, while the 22nd of August was a Thursday.

Presumably, this is incidental music for one episode of the series, in which the person of the month talks about Violence.
