My First Scifi Show

Was Doctor Who. I was very young when the local PBS station picked up a few of the British Broad Casting House shows for the first time. They didn't start with the first episodes of the series. Instead it jumped right into the fourth doctor. At the time there weren't many episodes out so PBS would also broadcast episodes of the third doctor as well.

Yesterday Nicolas Courtney, the man who played this first military officer I had ever know, passed away. He was 81 and evidently going through his own battle with cancer. By all accounts a gentle man who enjoyed acting and life.

Farewell Brigadier. I'm sure we'll speak again some time.



Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart: I'm finding it difficult to keep up with all of you these days, Doctor.

The Doctor: Some other time eh, Brigadier? Alas there's no time for pleasantries. I must find my young friend.

Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart: We'll speak soon, old chap. To all of you, I hope.
