A friend I saw over the weekend mentioned meeting the actor who played the Brigadier at a con sometime before New Who started -- I think 7-8 years ago -- and described him as "an elderly gentleman" even then. (He was at her banquet table and she had to admit to him that she'd never watched Who and was there for the Farscape guests, so they talked about Real Life stuff, and he was v. sweet.)
Somehow her description gives me the picture of the Brigadier as happily ensconced in retirement in a nice country cottage with roses and ivy somewhere. He doesn't have a television or a radio, and so misses all these alien invasions and such.
