Heart Failures

BBC Radio 4 Extra - Secrets and Lattes, Series 1, Heart Failures

It's the Festival and Clare's birthday, but Struan is straying. It's fireworks all round.

It is the Edinburgh Festival and Clare's birthday, so what is her husband playing at? Stars Julie Graham, Hilary Lyon and Simon Greenall. From April 2014.

Episode 4. Heart Failures

It's the Edinburgh festival in episode 4 of Hilary Lyon's comedy narrative series, 'Secrets and Lattes' and it's drama and fireworks all round.

Business is booming in the Edinburgh cafe that erstwhile free spirit Trisha (played by Julie Graham) has recently opened with her sensible solvent older sister, Clare, (Hilary Lyon) but, sadly, things seem to be unravelling for everybody else on the personal front.

Trisha finds herself not only propping up her sister as she becomes increasingly distraught about her husband's behaviour, but she also ends up providing refuge for teenage waitress Lizzie ( Pearl Appleby) who, despite her buoyant facade, is definitely in need of some tlc.

Thankfully, temperamental opera-loving Polish chef, Krzyzstof (played by Simon Greenall) is back on top form again and it appears that, even for the broken-hearted, eating birthday cake and drinking fizz on the top of a hill can actually be good for you..........
