The Inspirational Women In Doctor Who

Thirsk & Carlton Miniott enjoyed an entertaining, fun and informative evening after this year’s International Women’s Day when Dr Simon Fox, author of ‘The Official BBC Doctor Who Puzzle Book’ came to speak on the highly appropriate ‘The Pioneering Role of Women in Doctor Who’.

The talk and slideshow included details of two amazing members of the production team: Verity Lambert and Delia Derbyshire.

Verity was the programme’s first producer and was the youngest and only female producer at the BBC in 1963 and Delia worked for the BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop and was responsible for creating the 1963 electronic version of a score by Ron Grainer for the iconic theme tune.
