BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A Forty Minutes documentary series in seven parts, filmed at Harefield Hospital.
6: A Matter of Life and Death
The news that John Wade has suddenly and unexpectedly died a year after his operation is a devastating blow. It is a grim reminder, were one needed, that however swift the recovery, continued existence is a fragile thing when threatened by the twin curse of the post-operative period: rejection and infection. In this knowledge, Bruce Anderson is allowed home 26 days after his operation. His recovery has been remarkable, and the family is overjoyed. But Bruce Anderson 's life can never be completely normal, for his body will never completely accept the alien heart.
