Doctor Who: The Brigadier Remembers

Mawdryn Undead, episode 2. the Doctor encounters a Brigadier suffering from amnesia. With some gentle coaxing the memories come flooding back.

John Nathan-Turner loved his flashbacks and they got a tad gratuitous towards the end, but this was probably the best executed of the lot.

I think Troughton's shot is also from his appearance in The Three Doctors.

Peter Davison was so underrated as the Doctor.

@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.

Did anyone else cry when the Nurse told the Doctor the Brigadier passed away in last nights episode? I did.

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

@DoctorWho1983.

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!

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
