This was the only time she agreed to be interviewed on video about her time on the series, never appearing in any future DVD extras or documentaries. According to Doctor Who historian Richard Bignell, this was due to her not wanting to repeatedly go over old career work she had already discussed in detail. In 2013, the BBC made a 'docudrama' called An Adventure in Space and Time, telling the story of the creation and early days of Doctor Who, as part of the programme's fiftieth anniversary celebrations. Lane appears as a character in the drama, played by Sophie Holt. Lane made a rare TV appearance in 2013, passing along anniversary greetings in the Doctor Who: The Afterparty, celebrating 50 years of Doctor Who. She died on 7 June 2021, at the age of 79. No cause of death was announced. References External links 1941 births 2021 deaths 20th-century English actresses Actresses from Manchester English television actresses
