Doctor Who历史上的第一任制片人，也是BBC历史上的第一位女电视制片人，Verity Lambert刚刚过世，享年71岁。
在1963年Doctor Who首播时，28岁的她是BBC最年轻的负责主管一部电视剧的制片人。Lambert还制作了Minder、Quatermass、Rumpole of the Bailey和Jonathan Creek等剧集，她的个人公司制作了90年代BBC的肥皂剧Eldorado。2002年1月，她因为对电影电视的贡献而获得大英帝国勋章。
“空前绝后”
Lambert监督了Doctor Who前两季的完成，然后在1965年离任。Doctor Who的现任总编剧和执行制片人Russell T Davies说：“在卡迪夫有上百个Doctor Who工作人员，还有成千上万的观众，特别是其中的许多孩子，热爱当年在Verity帮助下创建的这部剧集。”
“这是她留给我们的遗产，我们永远不会忘记的，”他说。
1985年Lambert建立了她自己的独立电视制片公司，Cinema Verity，该公司后来制作了情景喜剧May to December和短命的肥皂剧Eldorado。最近她还制作完成了BBC 1的剧集Love Soup的第二季。
BBC Fiction的负责人Jane Tranter说：“Verity是空前绝后的。她是一位才华横溢、充满了工作狂热和灵感的电视剧制片人。”
Lambert本该于下个月接受女性在电影电视领域贡献奖的终身成就奖。她去世于周四，正好是Doctor Who第一集An Unearthly Child首播的44周年纪念日的前一天。
Doctor Who's first producer, and the BBC's first female TV producer, Verity Lambert, has died aged 71.
She was also the youngest person to take charge of a BBC television show when the sci-fi drama started in 1963. Lambert also produced dramas including Minder, Quatermass, Rumpole of the Bailey and Jonathan Creek, while her company made 1990s BBC soap Eldorado. She was made an OBE in recognition of her services to film and television in January 2002.
'Total one-off'
Lambert oversaw the first two series of Doctor Who before leaving in 1965. Russell T Davies, the current writer and executive producer of Doctor Who, said: "There are a hundred people in Cardiff working on Doctor Who and millions of viewers, in particular many children, who love the programme that Verity helped create."
"This is her legacy and we will never forget that," he added.
In 1985 Lambert formed her own independent television company, Cinema Verity, which went on to make the sitcom May to December and the short-lived soap Eldorado. Most recently she completed the second series of BBC One's Love Soup.
Jane Tranter, controller of BBC Fiction said: "Verity was a total one-off. She was a magnificently, madly, inspirationally talented drama producer."
Lambert had been due to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Women in Film and Television Awards next month. Her death on Thursday came the day before the 44th anniversary of the very first episode of Doctor Who.
