Some things were better about Dr. Who back then, and he was one of the people that made that possible. RIP and thank you.

He will be missed :(

@MorganScorpion Totally agree. Glad to know Im not alone.

@MorganScorpion you talking about inferno?

I hope the BBC or someone still has the tapes of the unshown comedy with Frankie Howard and shows it on TV one day.

This was a really nice tribute, you should be proud of yourself.
I found out about his passing when I was browsing a fanfiction sight, and I noticed several fics along the lines of "The Doctor says goodbye to the brigadier". It came as a real shock to me

I had no idea he was on the Sarah Jane show. I remember they made reference to him in the Sontoran episode of Doctor Who. Had no idea he was in a Hartnell epiisode!

In the very short time of me being introduced to Doctor Who, I honestly think that The Brigadier was the best companion The Doctor ever had, and Nicholas Courtney played the role so wonderfully his departure from this world will make the TARDIS seem just a little bit more empty. A Five Rounds Rapid salute in honor of this great man who has provided so many hours of entertainment and may he rest in peace.
Wonderful chap. All of him. 1929-2011.
There was a wonderful parallel universe that I used to escape to as a child. Nicholas Courtney helped build it.
For that, I am eternally grateful.

@eateroftheflame Surely they will - after all, Harry got his mention (in the past tense) and he was too magnificent a character for them not to honour within the canon).
Splendid chap. Only member of the Doctor Who cast (barring an embarrassing meeting with Barrowman) I have ever met personally, always a good sport with the fans.
