QuoteNicholas Courtney, best known for his role as Brigadier in the UK's original "Doctor Who" series, has passed away at the age of 81. Courtney actually worked with more versions of the Doctor than any other actor, having appeared in 107 episodes of the sci-fi series, several TV shorts, and reprising the role of Brigadier in "The Sarah Jane Adventures."

Rest in peace Brigadier, you will be missed.

Very sad news, I know he had been very ill for quite a while but i really hoped that he would have been involved in the new series. I remember a episode from The third Doctor series in which he played a bad version of the brig, what a Great actor.

  Yes I remember watching that episode, they were in a parallel universe.

As here was me thinking that they hadn't touched parallel universes until the Tennant era.
