Radiophon-A-Tron

Radiophon-A-Tron was a flash-based application on the Doctor Who website that allowed users to mix and re-mix the theme tune. It contained excerpts and samples of every version of the theme tune from 1963-89 including the "Deleware" theme. It launched on 20 December 2004. It was named after the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

The loading page stated that it was a tribute to Delia Derbyshire, Ron Grainer, Dick Mills, Brian Hodgson, Peter Howell, Dominic Glynn and Keff McCulloch.

Users had a selection of 30 samples to choose from, each imaginatively named, which automatically played when a user hovered their cursor over them. Multiple samples could be played at once allowing many different versions of the theme to be mixed. There was a stop button which allowed users to stop all samples currently playing.

The samples were organised thus:
