Thanks for the comment. To be honest, JN-T had quite a thing about flashbacks, starting subtly but then going a tad OTT. He started with Baker's regeneration, then the Cyber-scope in Earthshock. Mawdryn followed of course, followed by the multiple clips in Resurrection of the Daleks. Davison's regeneration was all original stuff so doesn't count!!! He started visiting the shows past more blatantly after that!
Dude you're right! When he's hanging in logopolis, flashback, earthshock when the cybermen are like "I know that object!" , and ROTD when their trying to replicate him and now that I think about it more Day of the Daleks with pertwee has a flashback
I love the responds to the brigadier. This was probably one of the only stories in Doc Who to actually do a past clip montage. Mawdryn Undead remains one of my favorite stories in the entire series, Awesome plot, twists, music.....It really went deeper into the Brig's character, which I think is his best performance as the brig. The only real bummer about it was Turlough.....what a tool....I honestly preferred Adric....but it was funny to see him cry and whine and act like a bitch. RIP Nicky boy
@DoctorWho1983 Yea I love Mawdryn Undead as well, it has always been an underrated story in the entire Dr who series granted it's not perfect but it is still a brilliant and one of my favorite Peter Davison story and this scene where the Brigadier remembers is probably one of my favorite if not my favorite secene from this story.
I know I will probably get some hate for this but I actually like Turlough thought I think he improves after The Black Guardian Trilogy but overall I like him.
RIP Nicholas Courtney, the world of UNIT's Doctor Who is a lesser place without you. We can be cheered by this little clip show from the series, it shows the best of you at work and I can't think of a better way to remember you by. I just hope they give you two proper funerals, one for the great actor you were and the other for the millitery man you portrayed. Let's hope the new commander's of UNIT learn from your example! "Chap with the wings, five rounds rapid." Cheers!
ONE OF THE CHARACTERS THAT MADE ME A WHO FAN IN THE 70S. R.I.P. NICHOLAS. MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD ARE A LITTLE SADDER AT YOUR PASSING. A GENTLE MAN AND A TRUE GENTLEMAN.
its a shame that the 5th doctor didnt get more episodes with the brig, i dnno if its just me but i think they work realy well together and compliment each others charcters well :)
So the flashback scenes come from Three Doctors, The Web Of Fear, The Invasion, not sure about the second Doctor, The Claws Of Axos, Day of The Daleks, Spearhead From Space, The Three Doctors again, Robot, Terror Of The Zygons (twice) and Three Doctors again. Does anyone know about the shot of the second Doctor?
Yes it from the Three Doctors. Specifically the scene where he has set up the TV and says (roughly), "I just set this up and now I won't be able to confuse it!"
Let's see, the flashback consist of Yeti, a Cyberman, the Second Doctor, Axons (?), a Dalek, the Third Doctor, the First Doctor, Robot, a Zygon and the Fourth Doctor... I would have liked to have seen some of the companions as well...
I wonder how the Brig's reaction is going to be like when he encounters Torchwood. And is stunned and confused that U.N.I.T. was and wasn't the original Task Force in containing alien threat and hording alien memorabilias of course. Realising that it never existed because now of the 10th Doctor's encounter with Queen Victoria in Scotland which inspired the creation of the backward orginization of Torchwood.
It very well might have existed in his day, but was classified from UNIT eyes, as UNIT was an international organization & Torchwood was formed to further British Imperial interests. These days with Torchwood's mandate changing under Captain Jack Harkness they're running into each other more, but that wasn't the original point.
This was one of the highlight and Magic Moment in Doctor Who history! Gets you excited if you are a hardcore Who fan. Even though it was not explained it was cool to see the Brigadier reminisce all the Doctors and the threats. I watched Mawdryn Undead because of this scene!
It hadn't occurred to me, but yeah, you're right. Colin was the only classic Doctor not to have had an encounter with the Brig... at least, not until that awful 30th anniversary 3D fiasco.
Nick even appeared in a Hartnell episode, although it was a different character, in Dalek Masterplan... I suppose it could be possible that Bret Vyon is a distant descendant of the Lethbridge-Stewart clan ;)
The Producers should definitely work the Brigadier into a new episode. I can imagine him turning up and recognising The Doctor regardless of his appearance. They'd both be pleased to see each other , but L-S wouldn't give much away other than a raised eyebrow - if that. His absolute disdain for whatever monster was trying to destroy the Earth and his 'stifff upper lip' attitude whilst all around were fleeing in panic always made me laugh.
He was featured in an episode of sarah jane smith adventures (the same actor who played him in the old days to,which i thought was really nice of them to do) but, if he was to meet the doctor..i can't help but imagine the doctor remarking about how much the brigadiers aged since they last met. XD but yeah,i do agree.They should bring him in to do a DW episode.
Everyone's copies of this video always show wear and tear on this particular scene in episode two.. I know I'm always watching this scene of the serial more than any other!
Did anyone else cry when the Nurse told the Doctor the Brigadier passed away in last nights episode? I did.

In remembrance of the recent deaths of some of our most favorite Doctor Who actors, professionals to the last...
R.I.P Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart (actor Nicolas Courtney -deceased early 2011 age 81)
Sarah Jane Smith (actress Elizabeth Sladen -deceased mid 2011 age 63)
The 4th Doctor (actor Tom Baker -deceased mid 2013 age 79)
We miss each of you dearly and remember you on TV like it was yesterday (for me, it was!)
Long live Dr. Who, we'll enjoy your presence for millennia past and yet to come.
