Lance Bennett

Lance Bennett was the fiancé of Donna Noble. Their planned marriage, on 24th December 2007, was interrupted by the events of The Runaway Bride.

In June 2007 (Turn Left), 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.

Unbeknownst to Donna, however, Lance had been working for 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.
