So I watched this one BBC Documentary which was absolutely awesome.

It’s called The Alchemists of Sound, and is a fascinating look into BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop, which was a sound effects group in the late 1950′s tasked with creating new and “different” sounds for TV and Radio.

They’ve done work for productions including such Science Fiction giants as Doctor Who and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Give it a shot, and keep an eye out for the guy who “appears” in almost every interview:

Here’s Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6

The sound is pretty annoying, but it’s cool to see how it changes direction & sound based on what it “hits”.
