  • Born and Bred 7 Clive Swift
    Clive Swift Clive Swift is Reverend Brewer “Brewer lives life to the full,” explains Swift.“He knows all about the suffering and sadness in the world, and this makes him all the more determined to enjoy life. He likes a drink or two, follows the horses and dabbles in a bit of gambling, even winning a bob or two on occasion! He’s never married but he’s certainly had a few girlfriends, as he’s a bit of a ladies man. But the Bishop seems to know something about Brewer’s behaviour which is a cause for concern.” Reverend Brewer has seen a lot of life, so whenever anyone is in trouble or has a problem they go to him. “Brewer’s very sympathetic and wants life to be better for everyone. He would have been born towards the end of the 19th century and would have survived two world wars. He’s got lots of memories of the wars and is likely to have served in some capacity.” And he’s a popular resident in the village:“I think the character that Brewer is closest to is Mr Boynton, the shopkeeper.They are similar in age, although Boynton is self-educated whereas Brewer would have gone to university. But I think Brewer is sometimes a little bit hard on Wilf, the station- master, and in return Wilf doesn’t trust Brewer Clive Swift when they’re playing cards! Formerly married to writer Margaret Drabble, with whom he has three children – one of whom, “Brewer also has a great deal of respect for Arthur Joe, is a presenter on Gardener’s World.
