Brendan Grace

It's a funny old world when seen through the eyes of Brendan Grace. The sanctimonious priest who knows more than he's telling:

''Blessed is he who gets married in the nick of time''.

The father of the bride makes a speech at his daughters wedding:

''She could have married someone with money;she could have married someone who was working.She could have married someone who wasn't working..but was willing to work.''

Then there's the schoolboy with the unspeakable personal habits and a fine line in sympathy pleas.

Brendan Grace is all of these and more. Each cock- eyed portrait he paints has a ring of truth that brings audiences to the point of apoplexy.
