Affairs of the Heart is a British sitcom that aired on ITV from 1983 to 1985.

The writer, Paul Daneman, had suffered a heart attack while performing in the West End, and by chance he had been portraying a man suffering from a heart attack.

After Peter Bonamy suffers a heart attack, and subsequently leaves hospital, he leads his life more carefully than before.

His wife Jane and daughter Rosemary molly-coddle him, and he also attends a heart-attack survivors group.

Bonamy, from the comfort of his south London home, finds himself doing little, especially as he can not even drive his Porsche.
