The Register: "Nicholas Courtney, who starred in Doctor Who as Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart opposite no less than eight incarnations of the famous Doctor, has died aged 81.
The Egypt-born actor first appeared in the popular BBC sci-fi drama in the 1960s, but his Brig role wasn't his first casting in for Doctor Who.
In The Daleks' Master Plan he played space security agent Bret Vyon. But he later took on the role of Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart, whose character was quickly promoted to Brigadier status in The Invasion episode.
As noted by Doctorwhonews.net, Courtney was associated with his role in the show for over forty years."

He was always a welcome sight whenever his character of the Brigadier visited the series.
Like Red Skelton used to say, "Good night and may God bless...."
