In Memorium: Nicholas Courtney

Oh, now that’s a sad thing to hear, that really is.

I’ve literally just been floating around the ’Net, after posting up the Teaser.

And happened to look at Life, Dr Who And ComBom, to find that Nicholas Courtney — the man who played Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, one of Dr Who’s best loved recurring characters — died, last night, art 81.

Now that’s sad, that really is.

It makes me feel as though part of my childhood just died … !

So, just to memorialise the man, himself … ?

I’ll leave you with these two photo’s.

And the video’s.



RIP
Nicholas Courtney
16th December, 1929 — 22nd February, 2011.

    I hope the show will somehow pay tribute to him, acknowledge that the character has passed away as well.

    There ae certain combinations of character and actor where you just can't picture the character being able to go on - even off-screen - without the actor who gave him life. (Another example that comes to mind - Archie Bunker.) And I think the Brigadier falls into that category.

    Rest in peace, both Mr. Courtney and the Brigadier.....

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.
