River of Music: The Doctor Who theme

Take a moment to salute the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, early pioneers of electronic music. The Doctor Who theme was one of the first electronic signature tunes for a television programme, and certainly the most long-lived.

Ron Grainer's Doctor Who Theme, realised by Delia Derbyshire and Dick Mills (electronics), 1963.
