Lambert started work as an electrician. He then moved into broadcasting and became a BBC
field producer for news and politics programmes. He became well known among journalists and politicians for shouting pointed questions at government ministers and others in
Downing Street, often heard in the background of news broadcasts. He said "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." His
House of Commons pass was removed after he filmed a protester attacking
Rupert Murdoch with shaving foam within the Parliament building in 2011, in contravention of their rules. The ban led to protests by journalists. ==References==
