The Doctor Who Appreciation Society is to hold an event to remember one of the founders of Doctor Who, Verity Lambert, with a special event held at Riverside Studios in London.
Tickets to attend Remembering Verity Lambert are available free of charge from the society’s website and will be distributed on a first-come first-served basis, with a special allocation for DWAS members.
The event will mark the unveiling of a Blue Heritage plaque commemorating the work of one of the most influential individuals to work in British television. The plaque will be on display at Riverside Studios until the venue closes for development later in the year, when it will be placed into storage, then mounted at the new Riverside media centre.
To celebrate the unveiling of the plaque there will be a special high definition screening of the BAFTA winning 50th Anniversary docu-drama, An Adventure in Space and Time, on the evening of July 23rd, starting at 7pm. This will be followed by an interview with Lambert’s friend and long-time colleague, and director of the very first Doctor Who story, Waris Hussein.
To raise funds for the plaque, DWAS will be holding an auction via it’s ebay site for items donated by friends and fans.
