Colonel Ross Brimmicombe-Wood was the leader of UNIT, following a disgraced Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. Even though he was a serving officer in UNIT, he didn't believe Lethbridge-Stewart's accounts of aliens, dinosaurs, and time travel because there was no evidence of it - instead viewing the man with contempt.
On 30 June 1997, he led a team to Hong Kong to retrieve Ke Le. (NOTDWU: Sympathy for the Devil)
Behind the scenes
- He was originally Colonel Singh, an English Sikh, but Jonathan Clements decided "a double-barrelled name was more appropriate - to accentuate the fact that he was the antagonist of the Brigadier, just as the Doctor is constantly at odds with the Master". He was made Scottish after Tennnant was cast. [1]
- An alternate version of Brimmicombe-Wood appears in the UNIT audio series. That version turns out to be a traitor for the Internal Counter-Intelligence Service, playing off the fact the audience already knew him to be a loyal soldier.
