The Doctor is Saved by the Brigadier | Battlefield | Doctor Who 

He just looks for who's causing the most trouble with the biggest mess. They've known each other so long he knows the signs to look for! A scrappy human complaining he's gonna get himself killed doesn't hurt in identifying him, either. 🤣

He once saw him regenerate.

no matter what face the madman wears, he will always be recognized

It's the dress sense. 😁

He looks for the person with the srupidest clothes

carealoo744 Brigadier after the Doctor stands up: “You’re shorter than the last time I saw you.”

Honestly it’s actually interesting, despite all the characters in doctor who, there are very few who are able to properly see the doctor beyond the differences in his regenerations, as in, characters who don’t see the 10th doctor or the 13th doctor or the 12th, that just see the doctor, as missy puts it, ‘it doesn’t matter which one they’re all the doctor to me’. Even most companions don’t know the doctor deeply enough to see it, so it really says something about how special the brigadier is in relation to the doctor that he’s more or less the only character who managed to pull it off with a human lifespan. Even in the audio stories where he meets 6 and 8. They’re all still just the doctor.

Should have added, "I'm surprised you recognized me, Doctor!"

@@darcybrummett7004more similar to the first height he saw him.

@@madanotap6492 thats the problem with the behind the scenes people wiping the slate clean nearly every time theres a regeneration very few companions are there to see the commonalities at that point in time the brig has met the 1st second 4th 5th and in this video the 7th he doesnt look for the differences he looks for the memories

@@MatthewsStopMotions 😂😂😂 it's on

It's a shame he never got to meet 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12

​@The Ghost he has met 9 with Nicholas Briggs doing The Brig, I've got those stories and it was great to hear 9 being reunited with the Brig after the Time War

he has met 8 and 10 on big finish, and if you count cyber brig, 12 as well@@TheGhost-rp3ko

​@TheGhost-rp3ko, and he even met 8th in audio stories, of course

He did meet the 12th doctor actually In death in heaven after he became a cyberman, granted that was after the death of the actor that played him.

It's because they released the season as a Doctor Who collection on DVD/ Blu-rays.

Dan 23 yes I know but they’ve not done as much for the other boxsets

A Lost One Watery tart.

Who was the one that nearly that died?

Tomas Alberto Torres Murillo - Sophie Aldred as Ace, this from the BBC Doctor Who site: “During recording of the sequence where Ace is trapped in the water tank, the tank cracked, causing Sophie Aldred to sustain cuts to her hands and creating a major hazard as water flooded out onto the studio floor. The moment when the tank first cracked can be seen in Part Three as the Doctor struggles with the controls and Ace is lifted clear of the water.” The behind the scenes footage along with the actors recollection of events is a tad more dramatic: You can hear Sylvester yelling, “GET HER OUT!!!” as the glass cracks, releasing water, and the chaps on both sides (who were spraying the water in) yell down at Sophie, who raises her hand to theirs, and they grab her and pull her up. At the same time as all this is happening the glass continues to split from the bottom up and all the water and broken glass is sweeping out onto the studio floor electrics forcing everyone to run to high ground, whilst huge shards of glass hang and drop right where Sophie could have been had the water pulled her along with it. All in about 3 seconds. It’s legacy was a change in BBC safety policy, with footage of this event being used to explain why, and as nobody was inclined to try re-filming the scene, least of all Sophie, they had to re-frame parts of it for use in the episode.

don’t forget in revenge of the cyberman when Elisabeth Sladen was on the JetSki it went haywire and slammed into solid rock she only avoided being blown to bits because she jumped clear Before the JetSki hit the wall. that’s why you see her get on it but you don’t see her get off. So Ace was not the only doctor’s companion who was nearly killed for real because of an accident on Set.

the brig and 3rd had three years together, but he had adventures with 2nd 3rd 4th 5th and 7th

There is a Doctor Who Unbound series by Big Finish on audio where David Warner voices an alternate version of the 3rd Doctor who gets stranded in the 90s and the Brigadier travels with him

itsAndre I don't like the new doctor who he should've had a goodbye with Matt smith

Apparently Russell T Davies intended to bring the Brig back on the show during his tenure, but Nicholas Courtney wasn't in good enough health to reprise the role at the time. It's a shame, too; it would've been nice seeing him interact with Nine and/or Ten.

He would have been amazing with Capaldi.

There were definitely a couple times they planned to bring him in, one was during the Sontaron Stratagem and the other was the SJA 2 parter the Wedding of Sarah Jane. Both times Courtney suffered from strokes just prior to I believe, hence why they it became a bit of a running thing that he’s stuck on assignment in Peru.

There's a comic out there with 9 and the Brigadier. And from what I've read of that comic, the Brig and the 9th Doctor didn't get along very well. 😂

THE LAST TIMELORD LMAOOOO

Looks like brunos sister

the longest serving character, played by the same actor, in the doctor who universe 1968-2008 on screen, and 2000 til his death on big finish

@@julieeverett7442 Though William Russell may have him on start to end date.

@@ariaflame-au yes, but he didnt show up in stories in the60's 70[s 80's 90' and 2000's, the brig did

I mean she did just blow up an archeological dig site that he’d been carefully sweeping over for months

Omg me too!! xD

Ich bin etwas enttäuscht das momentan nur die letzten Folgen Von Classic Who gezeigt werden und wir nicht auch andere '' wiedergefundene'' Folgen bekommen. Es wäre aber möglich das ARD dir Rechte einfach nicht hat Und die Folgen deswegen nicht zeigen können.

@@annam3243 Wahrscheinlich haben sie einfach nicht die Rechte, ich bin froh dass ich das meiste in den Twitch-Streams gesehen hab und mir nicht alles einzeln zusammensuchen muss sondern nur ein paar Folgen

MC&SC Music i know right

they're probably trying their best to edit it down to under 500 hours of runtime

@@rachelredhead9217 What will they do with the 500 they've cut out?

@@ftumschk What the BBC is known for doing with great footage. Destroying it

Hen The G Ouch, harsh but true.

Shaggy Rogers I mean Kate is sort of a replacement for the brig

Let's be honest, the difference is that today they're doing it clearly for political reason.

Yulian of Rivia you’ve not seen this episode have you

This was the second head of Unit we'd seen since the Brig retired, the first being Colonel Crichton in the Five Doctors. My only problem with Bambera In this was that her character wasn't written with the same charm as Lethbridge Stewart. She just felt like a hard nosed military leader in this story. Her development in her Big Finish adventure (the unproduced season 27 story involving UNIT) rectified this for me though.

@@silencio00 Ahhh translated as 'ways the world is changing that I don't like' as 'political reason'.

it's very strange they they continue to use the weakest story in the season to promote one of the great Dr Who seasons

What don't you like? His energy? His enthusiasm? The way he's obviously black?

Ridiculously stupid? Classic who? I'm afraid those two don't go together. How about a show with absolutely brilliant as well as mediocre and bad moments, JUST like new who. Doctor Who has never been consistent in quality except for a few years here and there. There isn't a single era/doctor without at least a couple of ridiculously stupid, utterly atrocious episodes, rightfully balanced by some fantastic ones.

Doesn’t ‘ridiculously stupid’ describe new who as well? This show is just inherently goofy.

If you're not on board with "ridiculously stupid" I wonder why one would be interested in Who at all
