My Life In Kenya - Autobiography featured in the storyline of the British sitcom AS TIME GOES BY/BBC/1992-2002. Geoffrey Palmer starred as Lionel, a divorced ex-army officer and coffee-planter who returned to England to write his autobiography entitled My Life in Kenya. To transcribe his notes for the book Lionel hired the services of a local secretarial agency. During his interaction with the owner of the agency, Jean (Judi Dench), a smart and hardworking widow, Lionel suddenly realized that Jean was the student nurse he fell in love with 38 years ago before he was sent off to Korea while a young Army officer.  Slowly, the two rekindled their lost love amidst the interruptions of Jean's twice divorced daughter, Judith (Moira Brooker). [Their both lives were changed because Jean's love letter got lost in the mail and Lionel thought she no longer cared for him because she didn't write him.]  Lionel's trendy young book publisher, Alistair (Philip Bretherton) tried to pump up sales for the memoir by hiring a photographer to design a book jacket. The  photographs depicted Lionel posing in a hunter's outfit, holding a rifle and being pawed by a beautiful blond who groveled sensuously on the ground while grabbing at his leg (i.e. sex sells books). Lionel later discovered the reason why Alistair took such an interest in his book. It seems back in 1947 Lionel's father lent Alistair's father 500 Pounds to start a publishing firm.
