Remember to watch the video in full screen mode when you get there by clicking on the box in the bottom right of the player."The BBC's Radiophonic Workshop, a pioneering force in sound effects, would have been 50 this month.

Deep in the bowels of BBC Maida Vale studios, behind a door marked B11, is all that's left of an institution in British television history.
A green lampshade, an immersion tank and half a guitar lie forlornly on a shelf, above a couple of old synthesisers in a room full of electrical bric-a-brac.
These are the sad remnants of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, set up 50 years ago to create innovative sound effects and incidental music for radio and television."
