Verity was the final poem contained within the Now We Are Six Hundred. This story broke the pattern of the rest of the poems in the anthology because it was seemingly not set within the Doctor Who universe and instead focused on Verity Lambert who was essential in the creation of Doctor Who.

Plot

A young woman, Verity, went to the BBC which was full of Men Who Knew What To Do. She told them she was the producer of Doctor Who but they just laughed and suggested she did something less important.

Verity stood her ground and eventually got her way. Doctor Who went on and on and the TARDIS kept flying. The Men said "Verity, luv, you've had a blast. But this kiddie show, how long can it last?" Verity just winked because she knew.

Notes

  • The poem deals with Verity's real life struggle as the first female producer at the BBC.
  • This poem even succeeds a poem titled Afterwords. Writer James Goss thought it would be a good poem to end on, particularly due to its inspirational story.
