Interview with the Brig

[charleygirl]

Nick Courtney spoke to Radio Times about playing the Brig.

Wish someone would tell them that UNIT and TARDIS are both acronyms!

I've never come across a fan who doesn't like Nick/The Brig. They're inextricably linked. I don't think the Brig would have come across as he did as a character if Nick wasn't such a lovely man himself.

It seems to be a matter of ignorance among the UK press, I think - they don't even realise that TARDIS stands for something, so they don't bother capitalising it. They think it's just the name of the Doctor's ship! They wouldn't put Rspca when referring to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, though, so if they've already mentioned that UNIT stands for United Nations Intelligence Taskforce they should put it in capitals. It's such a small thing, but it really aggravates me.

Good point--undoubtedly true.

I feel your pain. :)
