Jackie Lane

Jackie Lane (born 10 July 1941 in Manchester) played Dodo Chaplet, one of the First Doctor's companions, from the conclusion of The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve to The War Machines. She played the part from February to July 1966 alongside William Hartnell as the Doctor.

She went on to become a theatrical agent, representing Tom Baker, who would play the Fourth Doctor in 1974, and Janet Fielding, who would play companion Tegan Jovanka in 1981.

According to The Handbook: The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to the Production of Doctor Who, Lane was a candidate for the role of Susan Foreman in 1963.

As of 2012, following the announcement that John Levene would be reprising the role of John Benton for an audio drama in 2013, Lane is the last surviving companion actor who has not recorded a role for Big Finish Productions, and is one of two (the other being Matthew Waterhouse) who has not reprised her original TV role, although Dodo has been represented in several Companion Chronicles stories.
