The Brigadier is dead - RIP Nicholas Courtney

Nicholas Courtney, the actor who in Doctor Who played Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (the Doctor's military friend and foil, counterbalancing the Doctor's pacifism while still on the side of "good guys"), has died. Aged 81, he had been suffering from cancer for a while.

Comments Moderation Policy

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
