It was actually another "old English granny" who wrote Dr Who - Delia
Derbyshire.
I can't quite imagine these old ladies sitting around in tweed, twinsets and
pearls twiddling knobs and making strange noises, but it's an endearing
image.

Odd to think that an old English granny can be termed an "unsung pioneer
of techno" - but when you look at the life of the person who proposed
the creation of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and who did so much to
popularise electronic music since the 1960s (she wrote the theme song
for Dr Who, among other things), you can start to understand why...
