Presented with the task of "realising" Grainer's score, complete with its descriptions of "sweeps", "swoops", "wind clouds" and "wind bubbles", [[Delia Derbyshire]] created a piece of [[electronic music]] which has become one of television's most recognisable themes.<ref name=PierceD82/><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2006/dec/19/guardianobituaries.media|title=Obituary: Desmond Briscoe|last=Niebur|first=Louis|date=19 December 2006|work=The Guardian|access-date=20 September 2017|issn=0261-3077}}</ref> Over the next quarter-century the Workshop contributed greatly to the programme providing its vast range of unusual sound-effects, from the [[TARDIS]] dematerialisation to the [[Sonic screwdriver]], as well as much of the programme's distinctive electronic [[incidental music]], including every score from 1980 to 1985. In 2018 [[Matthew Herbert]], creative director of The New Radiophonic Workshop, composed the sting used alongside the reveal of the new [[Doctor Who]] logo debuting later that year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/cult/a850464/doctor-who-series-11-logo/|title=Doctor Who series 11 gets new logo and image|first=Morgan|last=Jeffery|date=20 February 2018|website=Digitalspy.com}}</ref>
