In 1984 I remember seeing the TV trailers for this series & decided I was going to watch it. To my surprise the 1st two episodes were a striking similarity to my 1st love in the 1970's. Yes I encountered a Diana & we also had a disused folly (now a protected building) as our secret meeting place.
Our ages were the same She 14 & I 17. she was from a wealthy family & went to a private school.
The most freaky part was she strongly resembled the young Patsy Kensit in both looks & personality, Our secret was eventually found out & we were forced apart just like Jan & Diana. Shortly afterwards her parents moved away & I never ever saw or heard of her again. Over the years I have never forgotten her or this Diana series & often searched for it with no success until recently I found the full 10 episodes on YouTube.
My favourite actors from this series are: Patsy Kensit, Gillian Raine, Harold Innocent & Claire Toeman. Drip was my favourite, what a lovely woman.
Also around 1983 they were filming ‘A woman of substance ‘ in the area where I lived. I frequented the quiet country pubs regularly in those days & who should be there in one of them but Jenny Seagrove & Liam Neeson!
Thank you so much for this great forum Neil.

That is truly haunting, Neil.
Perhaps you could find your "Diana" once again? I've had a few experiences like that myself.
All best, Michael

Great story Neil and many thanks for sharing. I can see why the series would have extra special meaning for you.
