23/11/07 - It is with great sadness that we report the death of Verity Lambert, aged 71.  Verity had a long and distinguished career in television drama, beginning in 1963 as the first ever producer of "Doctor Who".  At that time, Verity was the youngest producer at the BBC, and it's first female one.  Verity soon earned a name for being one of the most talented and respected figures in television drama.  In 1985 she formed her own production company, Cinema Verity - with "Eldorado" being just one of many shows produced under that banner.  Verity was always a staunch defender of the show.

In 2002 Verity was awarded the OBE for services to film and television.  Her death comes only days after it was announced that she was to receive a lifetime achievement award at the 2007 Women in Film and Television Awards next month.
