I lost a friend today,,,

A little sidrat101 history...

Back in the early 80's,, I was living in Blackpool, England. I met a lovely man named John Nathan-Turner. He was the producer of a little show known as "Doctor Who". He was the one that gave me my 'nick (unbeknownst to me at the time...)

Anywho, he introduced me to a lot of wonderful people who worked on the show (Tom Baker, Llala Ward...but I digress)

One of the people I met was a real character named Nicholas Courtney..He played the part of Brigadier Gordon Alistair Lethbridge-Stuart..

He passed away today...

I'm gonna miss him...

Anyway, just had to vent

    Yeah, I know...it was just kind of a shock when I heard..

    Nick was just one of those guys that if you looked up the word "charming" in the dictionary, his picture would be there...
