Lance Bennett

Lance Bennett was the fiancé of Donna Noble.

Biography
In June 2007 Lance was working as the head of human resources at H.C. Clements, where Donna had just landed a temp job. His offer of a cup of coffee quickly turned into a romantic relationship, at least for Donna, who pressured him into marriage. Their wedding was scheduled for 24 December 2007.

Unbeknownst to Donna, Lance had been working for the Empress of the Racnoss for at least six months. At the Empress' behest, he dosed her with dangerous Huon particles over this period, intending for his Huon-saturated bride to provide the energy that the Empress needed to resurrect her race. Himself betrayed by the Empress, Lance met his end in the hungry jaws of her children. (TV: The Runaway Bride)

Behind the scenes

 * It should have taken Lance more then thirty hours to reach the centre of the earth travelling at the terminal free fall of one hundred twenty MPH or forty-eight KPH. If this is the case, he should have died when the water flooded the shaft, and not eaten, unless the Racnoss children were incredibly fast climbers.
 * In a deleted scene, Lance says he began to see the human race as nothing when he saw marvels like the Daleks and Cybermen. (TV: Doomsday)
