William Nicholas Stone Courtney - 1929-2011
I think the first stirrings I had for any man (as far as I can remember) would have been age 11 or 12, watching Nicholas Courtney playing Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart in Dr Who.
The moustache, the uniform and, above all, the leather gloves. To me he was the height of sophistication.
He was the head of UNIT and carried on playing The Brigadier alongside various incarnations of the Doctor (as well as in Dr Who spin-off shows) almost until he died.
Rarely seen without his leather gloves (I mean, just look at those). He also had a simple rule: when confronted by a monster, he shot it. He shot a lot of monsters throughout the various series.
So if you ever ask me: "Smoky, where does your obsession with leather-gloved men come from?" I shall point you in the direction of this handsome devil.
Oh, and he got ever more handsome as he got older - just look at that marvellous double-chin.
