The Brig Blog

Fuck Yeah, Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart! Welcome to the Brig Blog, dedicated to Doctor Who's Brigadier. The Brig's first appearance in the show was in 1968; he appeared alongside more Doctors than any other companion, and returned to the Sarah Jane Adventures in 2008. Since Nicholas Courtney's passing, this blog has also functioned as something of a space for remembrance. If you wish to share a story about the Brig or about Mr. Courtney himself, please do.

Apparently this is exclusive to Forbidden Planet UK and they’re not shipping internationally. :| Hopefully it’ll get to this side of the pond soon.

Father - Daughter

Brigadier (Sir) Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart & Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.

As Kate and Eleven talked about her Father, she couldn’t help but remember all those stories her Dad had told her about the his time with Doctors when she was growing up.

Like father like daughter! Such brilliant casting and wonderfully sympathetic writing. :)

LOOKING FOR A NEW MOD

I apologize for this blog's recent inactivity. Fact is, I've slipped out of the Doctor Who fandom. I still love the show, but right now, the enthusiasm just isn't there; I'm also going into a high-stress period in university, so I'd like to let someone else take over.

If you're interested in taking on FYBrigadier, please send me a message or fanmail with your information. Thanks!

Don’t despair, Kate. Your dad never did.

Women. Not my field.

Shooty things. Totes my field.

I need to get better at crochet so I can figure out how to make things like this.

The Brig nicely sums up the first two episodes of The Daemons.

In your opinion is The Brigadier flawless?

No, and he wouldn't be half as interesting if he was. He makes mistakes -- and a character who doesn't just isn't interesting.

That doesn't mean he's not awesome and wonderful, though, because he is.

“Pitiful. Can this world do no better than you as their champion?”

“Probably. I just do the best I can.”

One year ago, on February 22, Nicholas Courtney passed away. Since Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart is one of my favorite Doctor Who characters, and because I didn’t do much for Courtney’s birthday in December, today’s/tomorrow’s (depending on your time zone) gifs are going to be all about the Brig: some of his appearances in Classic Who, and references made to him in New Who. Think of it as a mini-tribute to a much-missed man and character.

I make no apologies for my Brigentines.

This isn't even from Doctor Who, but your humble moderator really does not care.
