Science in the Shadows was a one-hour BBC TV programme transmitted on 30th February 1963, following the Royal Society's publication of a report about the 'brain drain': the mass emigration from the UK of ‘scientists of very high quality’ whose loss ‘left serious gaps behind them’.[1]

Delia's papers contain her notes for Science in the Shadows, created by ring modulating the Muirhead and B & K oscillators, recording it at 7½ inches per second and playing it back at double speed.[2]
