I doubt whether Bob's interest in EM ever covered TD, however TD did deal with the Moog Factory

For those that have SKY and haven't seen it yet, the TV programme about Bob Moog, Moog: The history of the syntathiser, is being repeated on SkyArts tonight at 5.00p.m.. The blurb for the programme on the Radio Times site is:
Documentary that explores electronic music and the invention of the synthesizer through interviews with one of its earliest pioneers, Robert Moog - who gave his name to some of the most unique electronic musical instruments ever created. The film tracks the history of this new form of music in Moog's words across the US and features original music composed on Moog instruments.

It's a shame we can't can't get a subtitled version of the French Docummentary on Bob, it was really good and featured TD in Dieter Dirks? studio in 1973..very low-tech
