This Day in history was a day of patents, exploration and relaxation. Jarvis reads On Making Someone a Good Man by Calling Him a Good Man by Dave Eggers. A listener sends in the noisy sound of a wake in Singapore: perhaps the ruckus will see off some malevolent forces at work at 6 Music! As a new film about shy electro genius Delia Derbyshire is released, Jarvis talks about her with Pete Kember (Sonic Boom). They discuss her work at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, why she struck out on her own and her legacy. Pete explains how he came to collaborate with her in the late 1990s and we hear a piece they made based on a vintage Flake advert. Birthdays: Maurice Ravel, Rik Mayall, Ivan Lendl, Brett Easton Ellis and Townes Van Zandt (Is He Any Good?). Valete: Michael Foot (with some of his stirring socialist speeches).
