From Outpost:
"The Guardian has confirmed that BBC Four is planning a tribute night to Doctor Who's first producer, Verity Lambert, who died last year.
The evening, which is planned for April, will feature a new documentary looking back at Lambert's work, including her pivotal role in setting up Doctor Who.
Those who have already filmed interviews for the documentary include the former Channel 4 chief executive Jeremy Isaacs. Other figures who are thought to be in the frame to feature include the Doctor Who executive producer Russell T Davies and Jonathan Creek star Alan Davies."
I'd love to see this documentary. As well as being the frankly brilliant first producer of our beloved show (in a world where she wasn't exactly accepted - RTD puts it best in the 60s In Your Own Words - "an Asian director! A female producer! It must have seemed barmy"), she also took on board the rather wonderful Jonathan Creek for nearly all (if I remember rightly) of its run. That's astonishing. |
