I just now read this on Minki's mail list. Diane played the lady magistrate with feelings for Miss Brahms. It seems they are all passing. Yet they have left many fond memories of their performances in our hearts.

Sad News Indeed.

Sad news. Most people here as you can see with the photos remember her most for her role in Hi De Hi which was good when it was first shown, but has not stood the test of time like AYBS.

R.I.P Diane

It's interesting/important to note that she passed away on January 24, 2009 and now the news has been released concerning her death:

A couple more: they pretty much say the same thing, but they do bring up different pictures of her:

You know, I couldn't place who she was in G&F at first--it took a few minutes for it to sink in.

I agree. She looks quite different between different shows.

Thanks for the links Minki Moo !!

[Tinkerbell]

I liked her in Hi-De-Hi.
A shame.

[cpl.er...Capt. Joe]

Sad news! I really liked her character - Miss Littlewood.

I could envision an episode where she could hang out with Mr. Humphries. Mavis could get the wrong idea about them spending time together and the rest of the staff would in a quandry about how to explain to her why there would be no reason for her to be concerned.

Unfortunately, I don't think I've seen Diane Holland in anything other than G&F.

Sad to hear about this. May she Rest In Peace.

[Bored Okie]

R.I.P. It is sad.

[Goldie]

This is very sad news. :(

[Mr_Lucas_Fan]

She was also Great in Hi-De-Hi. R.I.P Diane.

[john]

She also appeared in an episode of "Sykes". Brilliant in Hi de Hi.
R.I.P. Diane.

RIP Diane.
Her subplot being the lesbian judge whos attracted to Miss Brahms was classic. Loved it.
