Trivia
With the death of Verity Lambert on November 22, 2007, he was the earliest surviving producer of Doctor Who (1963) and the only one to have produced the series during the 1960s. He produced only two serials: 1969's "The War Games" and 1970's "Spearhead from Space". These stories are notable as being Patrick Troughton's swansong and Jon Pertwee's debut respectively. The latter was also the first serial to have been produced in colour.
