	Verity Lambert
		Verity Lambert (born November 27 1935 in London, England, UK) is a British television and film producer, best known for producing the science-fiction series Doctor Who for the BBC for its first two years, from 1963 to 1965.
		Lambert was educated at Roedean School and later studied for a time at the Sorbonne in Paris.
		Lambert also attempted during the early 1990s to win the rights to independently produce Doctor Who for the BBC, although she was unsuccesful in this as the Corporation was tied up in negotiations with producer Philip Segal in the United States.

	Lambert, Verity
		She began as a secretary at Granada Television in the 1950s, but by the early 1980s Verity Lambert's influence as a television producer and executive had made her not only one of Britain's leading businesswomen, but possibly the most powerful member of the nation's entertainment industry.
		Lambert's BBC assignment, producing a new children's program, may still be her most internationally known achievement: for its first three seasons (1963-65), Lambert guided the development and production of Doctor Who.
		Moreover, Lambert and Doctor Who were not based in the children's department, and Lambert's inexperience with (even indifference to) the established conventions of children's programming helped to lay the ground for the cross-generational audiences which made the series a ground-breaking success.

	Doctor Who: Season 26
		Verity would thus find at least one aspect of Season 26 familiar, for it also deals with fears and anxieties.
		If Verity did come forward, DW is actually one of the best things we could show her about her new environment, along with novels and comics (real comics, not this Superhero stuff) -- all of limited appeal to the modern public.
		I believe Verity would be proud of the way things turned out, and in smug isolation or not, I'm sticking to that belief.

		Thereafter, the company has been active mainly in television, producing two successful sitcoms for the BBC One network, May to December (1989-94) and So Haunt Me (1992-94).

		So impressed were Lambert and Whitaker by this idea that they decided to forego the usual request for a storyline from Strutton, and on September 28th, 1964, commissioned him to script a six-part serial entitled “The Webbed Planet”.
		The next week, Lambert became frustrated with Martin, whom she felt was permitting his actors to make last-minute dialogue changes, many of which she suspected were due to the performers simply not remembering the correct lines.
		Lambert noted that major alterations should be confined to script readthroughs, and that any modifications made afterward should be made only with Spooner's involvement and approval.

		It is very daring of the series (a tribute to the confidence of Verity Lambert) to have a character like Vasor who wants to rape Barbara, and this is generally an excellent episode and is visually impressive, like the rest.
		Verity Lambert persuaded the Independent Broadcasting Authority that the use of 'cunt' was dramatically valid: "I had a lot of correspondence with the IBA about that word.
		In many ways, it's the character that Verity Lambert and company originally intended to portray (Hartnell's Doctor was significantly toned down between two different versions of the pilot, and still further as the first season went on).

	Doctor Who LogBook - Introduction - The Hartnell Years
		To this end, Newman and the BBC entrusted the Doctor Who concept to Verity Lambert, a young producer (and, atypically at the time for that job, a woman) with the drive and vision to shepherd the series through the then-normal 52-week production schedule, effectively keeping the show on the air year-round.
		Lambert latched onto the more fantastical concepts of her new project, seeking the highest technical expertise that the British Broadcasting Corporation had to offer.
		But Verity Lambert was adamant and overrode his objections to prevent a costly production delay that could have ended the series prematurely.
