  • Verity Lambert (1935 - 2007) was a trail-blazing and award-winning British TV and film producer. This selection of interview clips is taken from three sets of camera rushes, conducted in 1993 and 2006 by director Kevin Jon Davies. It was screened exclusively at Riverside Studios on Wednesday 23 July 2014, when the Doctor Who Appreciation Society unveiled a plaque dedicated in Verity's honour.
    Also appearing in this video is Carole Ann Ford, the actress who played Susan on Doctor Who and Verity's friend, the director Moira Armstrong.
    NB: In this video, Verity mentions her friends "falling out of Henneky's" to go home and watch her early Doctor Who episodes. Henneky's pub was a hotbed of hippies and counter-culture in the 60s and early 70s. It's now called the Earl of Lonsdale and is still situated on the corner of Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove, West London.

    A pioneer, and a wonderful role model for women. She helped create a big part of my life... Doctor Who.

    Imagine getting to know that you helped spark a series that became a multi-decade long fascination for millions and millions of people. That has to be a pretty incredible position to be in.

    Thanks a lot Kevin. Hope you are well. Dunno if you remember me, I'm Steve Cambden's friend, we used to hang out with you at various meets and conventions in the 70's, in the glorious days of fandom's early years :)

      Of course I remember you. Think about you whenever I pass through the Taplow area. Search me out on Facebook.

    She had an amazing posh Cockney accent

      Lovely lady indeed, yes. (Posh London accent, maybe, but cockney tends towards the opposite of posh - more working class.)

    Thanks for the interview, did you ever get to interview Verity's successor in the role of Doctor Who Producer John Wiles before his death?

    • @KevinJonDavies
      @KevinJonDavies  Před 10 lety +3

      Sadly, no. I wonder if anyone recorded an interview with him?

    Broke: The Doctor is female now
    Woke: Doctor Who was produced by one of the first female TV producers in British history

    CV - curriculum vita...fancy talk for resume

    • @KevinJonDavies
      @KevinJonDavies  Před 3 lety +2

      Mr. diddymuck - "CV", isn't fancy at all - it's what the average Brit would say when describing the document Americans and others may choose to call a "résumé" - a French word. Please note the accents above the two letters 'e'. Also, curriculum vitae requires a letter 'e' on the end. No accents.) Hope this is helpful. www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/resume

    Verity Lambert and Jodie Whittaker would have made a successful team if they could have worked together on Doctor Who. Thank you forever, Verity, for helping to make Doctor Who for the kid in all of us. The world would indeed be a much better place if more women ran it. Doctor Who’s Frontier In Space gave fans a female President of Earth in the future who said “I will NOT be responsible for starting a war!” Amen.
