[edit] World record holder
This will need to be verified, but a few years ago I heard a radio programme in the UK that claimed VL held the world record for the greatest number of television programme credits. In other words, her name appears in the end credits of more tv programmes (I think that means individual episodes of all the different programmes) than anyone else in teh history of television.
Its an interesting and curious claim to fame. One would immediately think of someone like Aaron Spelling so famous for so many US TV shows, but no, it seems that the answer is VL, a name unknown to most of the world unless you are "in the industry".
Can anyone else shed further light on this?
- I certainly doubt she appears on the end credits of more individual episodes than the likes of Tony Warren (who gets a credit at the end of every episode of Coronation Street for creating it) or theme tune composers of other long-running series (such as Ron Grainer on Doctor Who, for example).
- It's not a claim I have ever heard associated with her before, anyway.Angmering 06:35, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image?
Is there a suitably free image of Lambert as a young woman that we could use to illustrate, say, the BBC section? It would be nice to show her as the "tall, dark and shapely" young woman of the Mail article, and another image of Lambert herself would be preferable to all the images of studio buildings. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:47, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I put the studio images in because they were free and it seemed preferable to have at least *some* images in the article. However, I've not thus far been able to locate any free images of Lambert, hence the fair use claim screengrab at the top. Angmering 06:34, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

- Can we claim fair use for another screengrab, say, one from the documentaries on Doctor Who: The Beginnning? Or does the fair use policy restrict us to one image per article? (I know that at WP:WHO we restrict ourselves to only one image per serial for serial/episode pages, but this seems slightly different to me.) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 18:20, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

- Problem is, I can only think of such documentaries using still images of the young Lambert — and as a screengrab of such an image would basically be a grab of a photograph, I'm not sure how the fair use rationale covers that. Pity the DVD of Nineteen Eighty-Four was cancelled, as I believe one of the extras on that was going to be an excerpt from the Late Night Line-Up episode from 1965 on which Nigel Kneale told her exactly what he thought of Doctor Who — could have taken a grab from that if it had come out. Plus of course I would just really like to see it... Angmering 19:47, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
