    Affairs of the Heart

    Actor Paul Daneman bizarrely suffered a heart attack in 1979 during a West End play in which he was portraying a man suffering from a heart attack. During his convalescence, he was advised to delay his return to acting and prompted to try writing. Affairs Of The Heart was the result.

    Former Basil Brush straight man and Yes Minister star Derek Fowlds was Peter Bonamy, who was recovering from a recent heart attack that put him in hospital. Peter was now determined to resume life with a greater degree of care.

    Sarah Badel was his overprotective wife, Jane. Holly Aird was his 13-year-old daughter, Rosemary.

    Peter’s heart-attack survivors’ group was populated by a strange lot.

    Unable to return yet to driving his Porsche, or to resume working for his own building company, Peter twiddled his thumbs and watched his finances dwindle away – albeit from the splendour of a very comfortable house in south London.
