Nicholas Courtney: Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart

Quotes 

• Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart : You've been agitating for a new assistant ever since Miss Shaw went back to Cambridge.

  Doctor Who : Liz was a highly qualified scientist. I want someone with the same qualifications.

  Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart : Nonsense. What you need, Doctor, as Miss Shaw herself so often remarked, is someone to pass you your test tubes and to tell you how brilliant you are. Miss Grant will fulfil that function admirably.

• Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart : This, er, this device of his, is it very powerful?

  Doctor Who : Oh, I should say roughly equal to a 15 megaton bomb.

  Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart : Really? Well, the research boys'll be glad to get their hands on this.

  Doctor Who : Too late, Brigadier, I've boiled out the contents. The weapons that you have on Earth are quite nasty enough as it is.
