| - 1963 wurde sie von der BBC beauftragt, eine neue Science-Fiction-Serie zu produzieren: Doctor Who. Sie produzierte die 1., die 2. und die ersten beiden Episoden der 3. Staffel. Sie war die erste Frau im britischen Fernsehen, die als Produzentin tätig war. Ihr Nachfolger als Produzent der Serie wurde John Wiles.
- British producer, heavily influential in the creation of Doctor Who. Also notable for both being the youngest producer, and the only female drama producer, in The BBC at the time. As well as Doctor Who she worked on several other well known series, including Rumpole of the Bailey and the final series of Jonathan Creek.
- Ms. Lambert owned her own production company, Cinema Verity. She was awarded an OBE in 2002 for services to film and television, making her the first producer of Doctor Who to be made an OBE. She was due to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Women in Film and Television Awards in December 2007, but died before the award could be presented to her. It was awarded posthumously. Lambert passed on just five days shy of her 72nd birthday, falling victim to cancer and a lifestyle of heavy smoking. In An Adventure in Space and Time, Lambert was played by actress Jessica Raine.
- Verify Lamb-to-the-Slaughter once took control of a live episode of a program when the actor playing the main character died of a heart attack between scenes. It's not currently known if she killed the actor with the power of her mind, or if he simply died out of sheer intimidation. Russell later paid tribute by dedicating the pure storytelling perfection that was Voyage of the Damned to her memory. I'm sure her ghost was flattered.

- Verify Lamb-to-the-Slaughter once took control of a live episode of a program when the actor playing the main character died of a heart attack between scenes. It's not currently known if she killed the actor with the power of her mind, or if he simply died out of sheer intimidation. Noted Canadian Sydney Poitier sought her out for her legendarily hearty circulatory system, known in the medical community for its ability to maintain high levels of urine and acetic acid even in her delicate capillaries at all times. He believed this quality would allow her to oversee the production of an educational science program without allowing anything silly like bug eyed monsters to get into the show and ruin everything he was working for. Not only did she force Sydney to allow the buggiest eyed of monsters into the program, she also got him to pre-empt news coverage of the shocking and horrifying death of president John F. Kennedy (an event she maintains she was not in the United States at the time for) in order to run the first episode, An Unearthly Child, over and over and over again. This was wise, as it was the only good episode of the serial first season first Doctor first 26 years first 50 years of the program. After rocketing the show to popularity, Verity jumped ship to better things. She remained a mainstay in British television for years to come, until she was finally horribly and brutally killed in 2007 by how bad Last of the Time Lords was. On hearing of her passing, then current showruiner Russell: The Davenings said "I'm sure she's out there among the stars, somewhere, wishing she could strangle me again and finish the job this time", while future showruiner Steven Moffat was quoted in the Guardian as saying "She was finally erased from Doctor Who". Russell later paid tribute by dedicating the pure storytelling perfection that was Voyage of the Damned to her memory. I'm sure her ghost was flattered. Noted cosplayer Mark Gatiss went on the record as saying "I'd like to share my thoughts about Verity with you, but I think you'll be better served by seeing it in long form in my upcoming docudrama An Adventure In Space And Time starring that cute psychic girl that looks like Linetrap." After facing constant ridicule in the tabloids for his crass and opportunistic comments, Gatiss later issued a statement to the press serving as an apology and correction: "Fine, fine, Bailey Jay, whatever you wanna call her." It remains unclear to this day just how fond she was of pegging, though experts suggest it could have been the only pleasure that could get her through the working day.

Lambert passed on just five days shy of her 72nd birthday, falling victim to cancer and a lifestyle of heavy smoking. In An Adventure in Space and Time, Lambert was played by actress Jessica Raine. The 2005 revival of Doctor Who has paid on-screen tribute to Lambert on at least three occasions. In the 2007 episode Human Nature, the Tenth Doctor, in his guise as the human John Smith, identifies his mother by the name Verity. The 2007 Christmas special Voyage of the Damned ends with an on-screen dedication to Lambert, who had died a month earlier. Most recently, the 2009 episode The End of Time included a character named Verity Newman (as an homage to both Verity Lambert and series creator Sydney Newman), the great-granddaughter of Joan Redfern from Human Nature and the author of A Journal of Impossible Things.
