Notes[]

First regular appearance of W.P.C. Delia French (Natasha Williams). She had previously appeared as civilian typist Delia France in Don't Like Mondays before returning to Sun Hill as a probationary constable. For some reason, the character's surname was altered when she joined the regular cast.
