Corporal A Lane (PROSE: Beast of Fang Rock) was an NCO in the British Army. He took part in the fight against the Great Intelligence and its robot Yeti in the London Underground, manning the communications as Goodge Street tube station. (TV: The Web of Fear) Lane had a friend who manned the radio at the Holborn tube station base. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Web of Fear)

In an attempt to get to the Second Doctor's TARDIS, Lane was killed by the Yeti's web. (TV: The Web of Fear)

His body was stored in the Vault's deep freeze. (PROSE: Beast of Fang Rock)

Behind the scenes[]

Lane's first name is not revealed in The Web of Fear, but it is shown to begin with an "a" in Beast of Fang Rock, perhaps in reference to Andy Lane.
