Paul Lambert: Ex-BBC producer who was 'fixture of politics' dies

A former BBC producer described as a central character at Westminster and master of interviewing politicians on the street has died aged 61.He left the BBC in 2014 to become communications director of UKIP.

Based on Downing Street, Mr Lambert's voice was heard on countless news reports putting ministers on the spot as they went about their business. "The point really is to fill in the pieces of the TV bulletin piece that you haven't got pictures to fill in. You know someone isn't going to say anything, you just need something to happen,"Others paying tribute on Twitter included political journalist Michael Crick, who said Mr Lambert was a"master of the political doorstep".
