The theme is actually by John Baker, another member of the Radiophonic Workshop.

Do you have a reference for that?
I've seen DD credited with writing the theme before, but it's not in her credits list on allmusic.com.

The track is called Factors.
It appears on this compilation, first released in 1968 and re-released several times since.

I found the music mind-blowing when I first heard it
And yes, it was the original broadcast... *sobs*
Very wooden acting, but the "action scene" at 21:30 is worth a giggle - it proper put the willies up me when I was a nipper!

Sammy's Super T Shirt was the best one, with Pop Pirates a close second
Electric Eskimo wasn't bad either
