Blue Veils and Golden Sands was a radio dramatisation about the life of Delia Derbyshire when she first joined the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, before she created the Doctor Who theme. It was similar to the later An Adventure in Space and Time in this way.

The radio drama was written by Martyn Wade, and broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2002. Blue Veils and Golden Sands was later included on Doctor Who at the BBC: The Plays.
