Elisabeth Sladen has welcomed the return of Nicholas Courtney to the character of 'Brigadier' Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart for an upcoming Sarah Jane Adventures story.
"I was so pleased for him to be back," she told entertainment website Last Broadcast. "I don’t know how much I can give away - it’s a good one, a really good one."
Sladen did divulge that "for Sarah Jane to need The Brigadier, it must be a really dangerous situation. UNIT has certainly given him a wonderful pension, I can tell you that!"
Courtney first portrayed Lethbridge-Stewart in the 1968 Doctor Who story 'The Web Of Fear' and appeared regularly between 1970 and 1975. His last appearance came in the 1989 story 'Battlefield'.
