Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Early life[[edit] | [edit source]]
Colonel Brimmicombe-Wood's father, Archie, was also an army officer and had been friends with Charles Crichton and Robert Dalton's father. (PROSE: Project: Valhalla) He was a friend of Colonel Emily Chaudhry and would often call her an "English rose" before she drunk him under the table. (AUDIO: The Longest Night)
He confronted an ecoterrorist scientist named Endwell who used a weather machine to attack London. Endwell shot him in the leg but the plot was stopped by Benny Summerfield and the Seventh Doctor. (PROSE: How You Get There)
In 1992, the Fifth Doctor had Colonel Brimmicombe-Wood seal off the factory that made Meggatun action figures after it exploded. (COMIC: The Last Action Figure)
The rise of ICIS[[edit] | [edit source]]
Years later, as a colonel, he was the commanding officer of the UK branch of UNIT, Brigadier Bambera having left sometime after 2001. (AUDIO: Animal) He was believed to have been abducted while escorting an alien spacecraft across the country in 2005. (AUDIO: Time Heals)
In reality, he was the commanding officer and a double agent for ICIS. He had faked his own kidnapping to create chaos in UNIT. He was involved in attempts to bring down the British government for reasons of ultra-nationalism, and was imprisoned for his actions. (AUDIO: The Wasting)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
The character had originally appeared in Sympathy for the Devil, an alternate universe story from the Doctor Who Unbound series. That version of the character had been a loyal soldier, allowing the UNIT audio series to play off the fact the audience already knew him and wouldn't expect him to be an antagonist.
