Ways of Seeing end credits

Delia is credited with "Special Sound" for the fourth and final part of a BAFTA award-winning 1972 BBC series of programmes Ways of Seeing, produced and directed by Michael Dibb,[1][2] in which John Berger "analyses the images of advertising and publicity and shows how they relate to the tradition of oil painting - in moods, relationships and poses."[3]

The Performing Right Society's list of works by Delia Ann Derbyshire has:

Title: Ways Of Seeing
Writer(s): Derbyshire Delia Ann; Clarke Malcolm John
Publisher; BBC Music
Creation date: 8 March 1993

The first two minutes of episode 2[4] also have a radiophonic background[5] which sounds like two chords of an orchestral piece slowed down, maybe to a quarter of its original speed.
