Lance Bennett was the fiancé of Donna Noble. They got together after she came to work at H C Clements, where he was head of Human Resources. The pair were about to get married on Christmas Day 2007 when Donna suddenly vanished from the church. Her body was full of Huon particles, which the TARDIS attracted towards itself.
When Donna finally made it to her reception she found that her friends and family had gone ahead with this in her absence, and Lance was dancing with her hated friend Nerys.
Lance insisted on accompanying Donna and the Doctor to their workplace to discover how she had been infused with the particles, after finding out that the company was a front for the Torchwood organisation. They had tunnelled to the centre of the Earth.
It transpired that she had been dosed deliberately over the last few months by Lance in her daily coffee. He was in league with the Queen of the Racnoss to resurrect her dormant children, hidden at the bottom of the Torchwood shaft, after being promised the chance to visit the stars. He confessed to Donna that he had always found her extremely annoying.
When Donna escaped with the Doctor, the Racnoss Queen decided to use Lance instead - dosing him with Huon particles. Once these had been released to reanimate her offspring, Lance was cast down the shaft to feed the the Racnoss which were ascending it.
Played by: Don Gilet. Appearances: The Runaway Bride (2006).
- Gilet has had a very varied career. His first TV appearance was on a TV dating show (as the friend of a participant rather than a contestant himself). He has performed in pantomime, Shakespeare, music videos, and been a serial killer on EastEnders.
