Following his time as a studio manager for BBC Radio 1, Paddy Kingsland joined the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in 1970, eventually creating a wealth of signature tunes for BBC radio and television. He’s also greatly famed for his incidental music for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Changes and Doctor Who, as well as Michael Palin’s Around the World in 80 Days and Pole to Pole, not to mention numerous programmes for Schools Television. Fourth Dimension, a compilation album of his work, was released in 1973. Following his departure from the Workshop, he established his own studio, PK Studios, and has composed eight albums for the KPM Music library.
