Lance Bennett

Lance Bennett was the fiancé of Donna Noble.

In June 2006 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 2006.

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

 * In a deleted scene, Lance says he began to see the human race as nothing when he saw marvels like the Daleks and Cybermen.
