<I>He was "the quiet Australian" and he had beautiful ears, I mean brilliant ears, the way his ear-brain function worked. Very good. Very good. He was very creative. He loved new sounds. He loved all sorts of new sounds.</I>

<I>Ron was so thrilled with the sound of the [[Doctor Who]] first mix that he said “Give Delia half the royalties! I'm so pleased with it because I was going to book a band.” He didn't think that what he'd written on his score could be so well done with the equipment we had
and he was a very generous person. But, of course, that
wasn't allowed as I was only a Studio Manager.</I>

Ron Grainer visited the Workshop twice: once with the first piece of paper, secondly when he came back after a fortnight or so and Delia and I played him the end result. Ron never worked at the Workshop.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9COYiD9VZ0I ''Dick Mills interview at Whooverville 5'' on YouTube]</ref>
