Contributor to TV Century 21 and the man behind many Barry Gray releases and events, Ralph Titterton, has collaborated on the new, official Barry Gray website. It is now live at www.barrygray.co.uk.

The site includes lots of information about the prolific composer who produced music for the very first Gerry Anderson show "The Adventures of Twizzle" all the way to the first series of Space:1999. Many of this compositions are now available in CD form, largely in part due to the tireless work of Ralph over the years.

When the Joe 90 CD was released in 2006, I conducted an interview with Ralph Titterton and Tim Mallet, the men behind the release of this Barry Gray CD and all the earlier official Barry Gray CDs.

Ralph has in his possession the entire Barry Gray music library on analog tapes. Tim Mallett is the audio technician who worked with Ralph to clean up the tapes, re-mix them and create new audio masters suitable for production of the CDs.

This exclusive interview provides a great deal of information about the music source and level of effort that went into the production of the CDs.

Twizzle first introduced Barry Gray to Gerry Anderson, and it was a history-making meeting. Twizzle was a character created by author Roberta Leigh, who was trying to interest producer Anderson in making a series or a film with Twizzle. Barry Gray was the composer who eventually brought Twizzle, and countless other characters, to life through his distinctive musical style. From an early age, Barry Gray received a sound musical education in Lancashire, where he was born and where his first teacher remarked of his notating and arranging abilities, "This young lad takes to manuscript paper like a duck takes to water! ".
