She would have heartily approved.’ ‘Much to admire and enjoy. The book is a major achievement. Richard Marson has done her proud.’ ‘Verity comes vividly to life. I read with great pleasure. Splendid.’ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Note: Same ISBN as original paperback edition. Cover blurb:
She was the very first producer of Doctor Who, at a time when there were few women in positions of power in the television industry. Later, she became a pioneering independent producer, founding her own highly-successful company, Cinema Verity. Within her profession, she was hugely respected as a driven, formidable but always stylish exponent of her craft, with the stamina and ability to combine quantity with quality. But who was the woman behind all these television triumphs and what was the price she paid to achieve them? Combining painstaking research and interviews with many of Lambert’s closest friends and colleagues, Drama and Delight captures the energy and spirit of this remarkable woman and her lasting legacy.
