Television
Brady became involved in television in the very early days, just two years after its start in Australia. He left school at the age of 18 and started working at Channel Nine in 1958 firstly as a booth announcer (voice-overs).
Brady appeared with Graham Kennedy on In Melbourne Tonight in commercials and comedy sketches as well as compering the show on occasions. He stayed at Channel 9 until 1971 when he was one of many to lose their job when Nine cancelled its variety shows.
In the 1960s and 1970s Brady hosted many television shows including Concentration and Everybody's Talking for the Nine Network and Moneymakers, Junior Moneymakers, Casino Ten, Get the Message and Password for the 0–10 Network.
Brady made guest appearances on television in the 1990s with a regular nostalgia segment on Good Morning Australia with Bert Newton as well as guest appearances on Seven‘s Tonight Live with Steve Vizard and ABC‘s The Late Show.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“His [O.J. Simpson’s] supporters lined the freeway to cheer him on Friday and commentators talked about his tragedy. Did those people see the photographs of the crime scene and the great blackening pools of blood seeping into the sidewalk? Did battered women watch all this on television and realize more vividly than ever before that their lives were cheap and their pain inconsequential?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“They [parents] can help the children work out schedules for homework, play, and television that minimize the conflicts involved in what to do first. They can offer moral support and encouragement to persist, to try again, to struggle for understanding and mastery. And they can share a child’s pleasure in mastery and accomplishment. But they must not do the job for the children.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
