The actor who played the Brigadier (Nicholas Courtney) worked with all 7 of the original Doctors.
He played Space Security Agent Bret Vyon in the 1965 William Hartnell story 'The Daleks' Master Plan.
Alastair Lethbridge Stewart was introduced with the rank of Colonel in the 1968 Patrick Troughton story The Web of Fear. Later that year he appeared again in The Invasion, promoted to Brigadier and heading up UNIT (The united Nations Intelligence Taskforce, whose primary aim was to deal with alien invasion). He was in most stories early on in the Pertwee period when the Doctor was exiled to Earth and teamed up with UNIT. He then made sporadic reappearances from Tom Baker's time right through to the final classic season (in Battlefield).
As for the TARDIS console, I believe the Doctor felt he might be able to repair that part enough without the rest of the TARDIS (although it's questionable how he got it through the doors
).
In production terms, there was no console room set during the first year or so of Pertwee's time as the Doctor.
Thanks for the info, I did wonder why he had it rigged up to the national grid
What happened to the car, was that only through the Pertwee era or did previous or later Doctors use the car?
The car was Bessie, and was used by Tom Bakers's Doctor as well. Get the excellent Robot, released this week to see him in it.
Thanks for the info, I had seen that one suddenly appear in the shops, I think they have a few scheduled to be released in the next couple of weeks

Couple of questions though:
*When was the Brigadier introduced & when did he leave the show?
*Why was the Tardis console out of the Police Box itself & in a shed/garage/storage room?
