Terribly sad news about Nicholas Courtney (aka The Brig). I feel as though I’ve lost somebody who I grew up with, somebody who on Saturday Nights could be guaranteed to turn up just in the nick of time and rescue the Doctor (and often the Earth) from a terrible fate. Such as shame that he never got to appear in the modern series (though it was good to see him in Sarah Jane).
Rest in Peace, though we’d all understand if he’d rather have a pint.
