Anyway just a quick note to mark the sad passing of actor Nicholas Courtney, best known for playing long-running character/companion Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart in "Dr Who". Nick C appeared alongside several incarnations of the Doc in the role of the Brig (Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy) and prior to that, made his Who debut as space agent Bret Vyon in an epic William Hartnell adventure, "The Dalek Masterplan"! He also popped up again in "The Sarah Jane Adventures" very recently, reunited with Liz Sladen.I couldn't quite believe it when I heard he'd gone...you sometimes think these people will be around for ever. RIP Mr Courtney / Brigadier.
Remember he's not gone..just experienced a temporal phase change. He's out there somewhere
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to Blighty! The sweet drab greyness of home!
ReplyDeleteMarginilia - I like your explanation, if only 'twere true.
ReplyDeleteSteve - Loving the oxymoronic phrase!
Mark Gatiss summed Nick up well paraphrasing the Brigadier's famous line in "The Five Doctors", "Marvellous chap, all of him!"
ReplyDeletewelcome back! want to hear all about the trip!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back and I can understand why you didn't pop in on your way home...this is a sad passing, he was a great character I reckon.
