Dr Edward Fitzgerald prides himself on many things but being self-effacing would never figure on any list, and it would be a cliche to describe him as his own worse enemy. But he is indeed a walking cliche replete with off the cuff excuses for his behaviour, and people who know him try their best to ignore his protestations.
For college students who have to suffer his lectures, and anyone who has to work with him, this is considerate an absolute necessity.
But for his spouse Barbara Fitzgerald that has never been any kind of viable option, it's a luxury that she has never been able to afford. And her patience is far from inexhaustible as contrary to, popular mythology even saints are loathed to claim perfection.
Two local youths Tina Brien and Sean Kerrigan are outsiders from 'Respectable Polite Society', they forge a common bond out of adversity and mutual necessity, but their shenanigans prove of more than passing interest to the Mancunian Old Bill, providing grist to Fitz's mental mill.
