Not a bad little series. It went all sort of fantasy/horror/supernatural in its final season didn't it. I rather enjoyed watching the BFI boxset of it some years back.

In the appendix of her 2015 York University PhD thesis ' Delia Derbyshire: Sound and Music for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. 1962-1973' Teresa Winter lists BBC projects by Delia Derbyshire not extensively covered by the main body of her thesis and these include: 8. Out of the Unknown (1965) TRW6326 Derbyshire was commissioned to make the theme tune for this sci-fi television programme produced by Irene Shubik (with whom she later worked on Play for Today), but it was ultimately not used, even though the tape was catalogued and perhaps still exists.
TRW6326 is the entry in Radiophonic Workshop Catalogue - I wonder if the BBC Sound Archive has the recording?

The ABC didn't seem to like The Fox and the Forest. They were offered each story individually, but they did buy the Fox and the Forest in the end. And proof they were offered each story individually. The Dead Past and Sucker Bait are listed here.

The censorship issues of Immortality Inc were well founded as the story was cut for broadcast.

OTD 1971 - "The Chopper". Didn't Dick Fiddy have something to say about this recently? Twitter Yes he did. On Bergcast (a podcast about Nigel Kneale) he casually stated that he believed that this story existed in a foreign broadcaster’s archive.
