| rdfs:comment | - Jackoff Lame played Dodo from 1966-1966, appearing in such phenomenal classics as The Racist Toymaker and The Gunfighters. She couldn't act for shit, which is probably why she hasn't returned for the Big Finish audios.

- Jackie Lane was born on 10th July 1947 in Manchester. Early work as an actress was as part of the Library Theatre Company in Manchester and television work included Compact and an appearance as Cheryl, a fan of Walter Potts in Coronation Street in January 1964 under her acting name of Jackie Lenya. A couple of months earlier she had been considered for part of the original cast of Doctor Who but had turned the offer down as she did not want to commit herself to a long run in a series. In 1966 she changed her mind when offered another part as the companion Dorothea "Dodo" Chaplet which she played for the next five months. Soon afterwards she up acting and became a secretary in the Australian embassy in Paris. Later on, back in the UK, she became a theatrical agent.
- Lane 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 and herself later become a theatrical agent. 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. Although she attended an interview, she was never actually offered the part; she withdrew herself from consideration when she discovered a year-long contract was involved.

Lane is the last surviving companion actor of the classic series who has not recorded a role for Big Finish Productions, although Dodo has been represented in several Companion Chronicles stories. On 22nd November 2013 Lane made a rare television appearance, passing along anniversary greetings during Doctor Who Live: The Afterparty. Lane is depicted in the 2013 docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time by Sophie Holt in one scene recreating the press photocall announcing Lane's casting in the series.
