Diane Langton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diane Langton, born in Somerset, is an actress.
She has appeared in numerous TV shows like Only Fools and Horses, where she played Junie, an old girlfriend of Del Boy's in the 1980s. She appeared in episodes "Happy Returns", when Rodney Trotter really liked a girl called Debbie who worked in the corner shop. It turned out that Del Boy and Junie went out together in the 1960s, and Debbie was conceived around the time they broke up in 1965 or so. In this episode she also had a son called Jason, played by Ben Davis.
Diane was also in "A Royal Flush". This episode was the one where Rodders met a girl called Victoria who happened to be the daughter of the Duke of Mallbury. Junie appeared when they went to the theatre and Del Boy invited himself and Junie along. They embarrassed Rodney by continually being noisy and then Junie ate too much and threw up, so they all had to leave. This is the episode where Rodders also does a bit of shooting and Del Boy turns up and embarrasses him as usual!
Lennard Pearce who played Granddad didn't appear in "Happy Returns" as the actor was in hospital at the time. Shortly after filming, someone arrived on the set to tell the cast that Lennard had died.
