Danny Dyer leads the cast of Channel 5’s new four-part drama Heat, and episode 1 was as preposterous and outlandish as any EastEnders storyline.
The former soap star, 45, plays British ex-pat Steve, who is now living in Australia. He and his ridiculously complex family take themselves and their baggage – literal and emotional – on a trip to the Victorian bush to visit his old friend Brad.
Steve and Brad (Darren McMullen) now live in different parts of Australia with their wives and families. But, every year, the two clans reunite for a summer holiday. This year, though, it’s about to all kick off.
Everyone seems to be hiding a secret – think Jill Halfpenny’s The Holiday – and, as if that wasn’t complicated enough to keep up with, the two fams are surrounded by bush fires.
