Five Rounds, Somewhat Less Rapid!

In need of Doctoring, William Nicholas Stone Courtney, who led the stalwart United Nations Intelligence Taskforce to defend the earth from Daleks, Cybermen, the Master and Flipper People as Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart on Doctor Who, has died of cancer at the age of 81. Bearing a name that helps explain how the British lost the Falklands, Lethbridge-Stewart brought the exiled Doctor into UNIT as a scientific advisor. Although he rarely agreed with the Doctor or understood the extraterrestrial threats before him, the Brigadier met every challenge with a stiff upper lip and a hail of bullets and rocket fire. Brought out of retirement to battle interdimensional knights, Lethbridge-Stewart saved the planet by besting the Destroyer of Worlds with only his service revolver, the most expensive prop the BBC could muster.
