The Brigadier - a picspam tribute

Feb 23, 2011 21:31

bardingtide kindly posted a tribute earlier, but I thought it would be fitting to also post a picspam tribute, so that those of us familiar with The Brig could reminisce, and those not familiar could discover his awesome.

Two non-Eleven era posts in one day? Well, it's like this. The passing of Nicholas Courtney is a great shame for the current era. The ( Read more... )

*salutes*

Shoot first and ask questions later that was our Brig.

The fact we will never see him with Matt is just saddening.

But we can rest assued that he, Bill Hartnell, Pat Trougton, John Pertwee, Ian Marter and Roger Delgado are having a MASSIVE pissup in the great hearafter remencing about all the good times.

Cause if they aren't there's something wrong with Heaven.

I like to think they were at least.

It's only proper

I've got to say, the thought of them all having a few drinks and talking about the old days is a rather comforting image. I love it. :)

Thanks for putting this together. The Brig is a fantastic character, and Nick Courtney was such a great actor and seems to have been a genuinely lovely person who had masses of time and sympathy for the fans, so it's not surprising to see everyone's been so touched by his death. But it's lovely to see - though it's very sad that he's gone.

So much love for that gif. I really have to watch The Five Doctors some time this week.

BEST. MOMENT. EVER.

Spearhead from Space was the second episode of Doctor Who that I ever saw and the Brig (and Nicholas Courtney himself) has had a place in my heart ever since. I only wish that we could have seen him in the new series but sadly it wasn't to be.

Thanks for doing this. It has been so heartwarming to see all these lovely tributes. Fandom will clearly miss him terribly.

I didn't know that Nick Courtney was in any of the S5 Confidentials. Anybody know which ones?

the_willows February 23 2011, 23:59:46 UTC

Lol, no he wasn't, you misread. If he HAD been in an episode with Matt, it would have made for epic Confidentials. :)

shannonsequitur February 24 2011, 00:06:08 UTC

Yeah, I figured that I had to have misread that somehow. D'OH!
