Brass Eye
Bernard Ingham appeared on the satirical television program, Brass Eye. He was persuaded to appear in a short sequence, in which he issued a stern warning to young people about the dangers of a purported new drug, 'cake'. Failing to notice the satirical, not to say surreal, intent of the program, Ingham held up a large circular object somewhat larger than a birthday cake, and in his bluff Yorkshire manner denounced the object, saying "This is a piece of cake. They all fall on it like crazed animals and scoff the lot."

Famous quotes containing the words brass and/or eye:
“No stout
Lesson showed how to chat with death. We brought
No brass fortissimo, among our talents,
To holler down the lions in this air.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Wi’ joy unfeigned brothers and sisters meet,
An’ each for other’s weelfare kindly spiers:
The social hours, swift-winged, unnoticed fleet;
Each tells the uncos that he sees or hears;
The parents, partial, eye their hopeful years;
Anticipation forward points the view:”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
