A parallel Earth's version of the Brigadier, Brigade Leader Lethbridge-Stewart was in charge of the "scientific labour camp" carrying out Stahlman's project.

Profile

Unlike his counterpart, the Brigade Leader had a missing or damaged left eye, covered by an eyepatch. Section Leader Elizabeth Shaw acted under him. He captured and interrogated the Doctor, who had just arrived from his own universe. At first he had trouble believing the Doctor's story of having come from another universe.

With most of the base now covered in lava and his Earth itself threatened, he attempted to force the Doctor to rescue him, but Elizabeth Shaw shot him. (DW: Inferno)

Behind the scenes

• Nicholas Courtney, of course, played the part without the Brigadier's trademark (false) mustache.
• Dialogue in Inferno only refers to the Brigade Leader by his title and last name, but not by his first name. Presumably he had the same first and middle names as his counterpart, but this remains unclear.
