I mean, there were moments when I thought I wasn't going to survive it.

How old was she at this point?

She was, I mean, like weeks and months rather than... So you weren't able to immediately... No, she was born end of October, and I got this kind of beginning, sort of mid-November.

I remember Nigel Havers got married at the very end of that year, and I couldn't go to the wedding because I didn't feel up to it, but I did go to the evening thing, and that was November.

But part of the problem was that I...

was given the wrong antibiotic and the wrong dose of the antibiotic.

I never quite got to the bottom of why, but I remember talking to my brother and his wife, both of whom were GPs at the time, and my brother said, you really need to go back to the doctor and get this sorted out because you're on the wrong antibiotic and the wrong dose.

So I went back, but it meant that the pneumonia had really taken a grip.

Well, I then had asthma for many years, but actually that's...

That's calmed down.

It's all fine now because we're talking, you know, 35 years ago.

And he said, don't be ridiculous.

You don't want to be fine.

You know, did that reframe your life a little bit?

It did.

It just made me think, you know, I need to.

Try and have a balance between work life and not be quite so ambitious.

So it's hard for actresses.
