Nicholas Courtney

Damn. I'm seeing reports - so far unconfirmed - that Nicholas Courtney, aka Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart, has died at the age of 81.

If true, I suspect there will be more than a few drinks in his honour at Redemption this weekend.

Bugger. He'll be missed.

Very sad. He'll be missed and I know I won't be the only one raising a glass to him at Redemption.

Sorry to hear this. I remember a mad dash in a taxi across London to pick him up for Whoday many years ago. He was good to have as a guest, and seemed to run on californian rose as fuel!

Chap with wings, five rounds rapid!

If true, I will certainly raise a glass. He was a lovely man.

He was in Sarah Jane though - it was lovely.
