The Brigadier has passed away...



I was very sad to read that Nicholas Courtney who was best known for playing Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart from Doctor Who has died. He was the ideal foil for The Doctor and was an iconic part of Whovian mythos.

It is not everyone that can sell lines such as the famous “Chap with wings, five rounds rapid” while wearing a false moustache and facing a BBC stuntman in a grey leotard with false wings and a gargoyle mask but the late Nicholas Courtney could.
