The Many Brigadiers of Nicholas Courtney
So Nicholas Courtney died, and this made me sad. Then I went and looked at Brigly pictures, and found this somewhat cheering. Thus I share, as a tribute-like sort of thing to the Awesome Brigliness of Nicholas Courtney's Lethbridge-Stewart.
Animated Brig
Sometimes the Brig will be animated. Do not fear. His animated nature will not affect his epicness or world-saving ability. Possibly the eyebrow raises will not be as awesome, but we can guarantee an Animated Brig's moustache will never fall off.
An Animated Brig once flew a spaceship; that is the only part of Death Comes To Time that we speak of.
Awesome Brig
LOOK AT THAT BRIGLYNESS. That's some quality Briglyness, right there. The technical term is Awesome.
Blinovitched Brig
Do not allow your Brig to meet himself from the past and/or future. Bad stuff will go down and your Brig may fall over, get a bad headache and have people tell him he had a nervous breakdown. This will make Brig sad. Do not make Brig sad.
Brig with a Brig
Here is the Brig with another Brig. This does not cause Blinovitching for she is a Whole Other Brig. How is such a thing possible? This is unknown but Other Brig is awesome enough that we do not care.
Brigly Brig
Is this the most Brigly look of the Brig? Quite possibly. He's going to save the world now. You can tell by the epic expression on his face. This is good. The world is a better place when it is not exploded. Or eaten.
Burninated Brig
AARGH! The most tragic of all Brigs! Burninated Brig was burned because the BBC did not properly understand his awesome. Thus the very first appearances of the Brig are gone, gone forever! Until we invent a time-machine which will then be immediately used to go back to the sixties and record all the burnt Who. As is well known, this is the most important reason for time-machines to be invented.
Clingy Brig
Sometimes the Brig clings! It is not a common occurence, for he is not Scottish or The Trought, but it does happen and is very pleasing.
Cool Brig
Look how cool the Brig looks. That is because he is wearing sunglasses. Sunglasses are cool.
Epic Brig
This is an epic picture of the Brig. It is epic because once it was shown to some invading aliens and they ran away. This is trufax, I showed them myself, I would never lie.
Eyebrow Brig
The Brig likes to raise his eyebrows in New and Innovative ways. Sometimes because he is amused, sometimes because he is about to destroy you and everything you stand for. It is important to be able to tell the difference. This particular eyebrow raise is what you get when you're a professional soldier and you tell the Brig that you fainted while on duty.
Eyepatch Brig
"Then I turned around, and they were all wearing eyepatches ..."
Oh, lols.
So this is Evil Brig, also known as Eyepatch Brig, and he is not the Evil version of Fluffy Season Eleven Brig, no, this is the Evil version of Hardcore I Genocide Silurians Season Seven Brig. So he's pretty evil. Also, he has an eyepatch. Note the eyepatch.
Follow the Brig
What is this? Some civil servant dude is ahead of the Brig! Shocking! Do not worry, the Brig's Brigly stride will soon ensure that he is once again in the lead. For that is the correct Way of Things.
Hidey Brig
Sometimes the Brig hides. This is not because he is Scared of Things. It is because it is A Part of the Brig's Plan. The Brig always has a plan. Usually it will involve saving the world.
Judgey Brig
The Brig often finds it trying that others are not as Brigly as he. Thus he judges. With a Judgey Face.
Literary Brig
The Doctor is under the impression the Brig cannot count. WELL HE CAN. Also, he can read.
Mathematical Brig
Sometimes the Brig teaches A-level mathematics to English schoolboys and aliens hiding out at English public schools. The Doctor mocks the Brig's ability to do this. This is very wrong of the Doctor. Sometimes the Doctor kidnaps teachers. He did not kidnap the Brig.
Moustacheless Brig
Shockingly, the Brig sometimes does not have a moustache. This is sad-making. The moustache is a very important part of Brigness, thus Moustacheless Brig gets judged harshly. Very sorry, Moustacheless Brig, but that is the Way of Things.
Not the Brig
He may look like the Brig, he may sound like the Brig, he may even act like the Brig. He is not the Brig. Do not be fooled, for this is far, far into the future where some mad skience has created a Brig lookalike and the universe is sad for he is not the True Brig.
On the Phone Brig
Brig on the phone! Ah, the humble phone, how the Brigadier loves your pressy buttons and crackly receiver. Often the Brig will be on the phone, mostly being annoyed at someone on the other end who does not understand that it is very sad and wrong of them to be arguing with the Brig.
Patient Brig
This is the sort of nonsense the Brig has to put up with while he's saving the world. Poor Brig.
Retired Brig
The Brig never really retires, for he is the Brig. But sometimes he gets little breaks from saving the world. Often he is in Peru. However old he gets, he never loses the ability to Judge You with His Eyebrows.
Shooty Brig
The Brig likes to shoot things. Mostly things that are shooting at him or trying to blow up the planet. Often these things are immune to bullets. This makes the Brig sad.
Smirky Brig
The mouth! The eyebrows! The eyes! This is what happens when you are ridiculous at the Brig.
Sneaky Brig
Subtlety is not something unknown to the Brig, it is merely something he judges. But sometimes he is sneaky. He knows how to hide behind a wall, does the Brig.
Team!Brig
The Brig has had many teams, teams of awesomely awesome. Here is one:
Here is another:
Another:
There are quite a few, y'know:
And just one more time:
Thus concludes this Highly Accurate Guide to His Brigness.
