Brigadier Bambera

Played by Angela Bruce

"You call me ‘My Lady’ once more and I'll break your nose.”

Taking on the mantle of Brigadier after the retirement of Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, Winifred Bambera brings a keen military mind and a healthy dose of scepticism to the role of UNIT commander. Less experienced in the organisation’s more extra-terrestrial operations, Bambera has no knowledge of the Doctor prior to their first meeting – but an encounter with an army of knights from another dimension proves her ability to handle any threat to Earth with a clear head and strong sense of leadership.
