Verity Lambert

A young Verity Lambert began her career as TV producer when given the chance to produce the new BBC television sci-fi series Doctor Who (1963) in early 1963. Due to the fact this was her first job as a producer, Mervyn Pinfield was given guardian role over the series, but Lambert's talents were soon recognised, and she was given full control, remaining on the programme until 1965. Lambert later owned her own production company, "Cinema Verity", and was a well known and respected person in the UK television industry.
