Doctor Who's sonic secrets unveiled in Bradford

Some of the men and women behind the music and sound effects for Doctor Who are heading for Bradford.

It's part of an event to celebrate the work of the BBC's famous Radiophonic Workshop.

It's called Fag Ends and Lollipops, a description of the items used to create some of the sound effects.

It will include talks by former workshop members, screenings of special films and a hands-on workshop led by founder member Dick Mills.

Honorary Doctorate

The event builds on the award last year of a University of Bradford honorary doctorate to Dick Mills for his services to British broadcast media.

Mr Mills said: "I'm really looking forward to the workshop.

"It's always fun to visit Bradford and be back among like-minded creative people.

"We want to show people at the event that you don't have to be a computer boffin to be able to do the things we used to do.

"That's just as well since there weren't many technical aids around when I was working on Doctor Who.

"We had to do it the hard way, or as best we could."
