Revision as of 16:38, 17 November 2019

Sergeant Zbrigniev was a Polish soldier seconded to the United Kingdom branch of UNIT.

Zbrigniev began his service under Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and was still with UNIT years later, serving under Winifred Bambera. (TV: Battlefield)

His name was spelt "Zbrigniev" in the episode credits and in the novelisation. However, his name was actually pronounced as "Zbigniew," a real Polish name, in the serial itself, indicating a disconnect between auctorial intent and production reality. Also, Zbigniew was stated to have been killed by Mordred when the latter and Morgaine attempted to kidnap the nuclear missile.
His name is spelled "Zbregniev" in the short story UNIT Christmas Parties: First Christmas.
