Delia worked on a short radio play[1] "The Applicant", produced by Christopher Holme.[2]

MAN copes with fear in various ways, making light or dark of it according to his temperament. Computer-governed business, certain aspects of inherited wealth and privilege, the predicament of old age-these are all subjects guaranteed to anger and frighten. The world of big business with its sacred/ profane cows, its use of psychological tools in staff selection and in the dissemination of its ' media ' and goods, suggested the first of my three plays, The Applicant.[3]
