Press clippings

Sitting Pretty (BBC1), by John Sullivan, is a warm doughnut for Diane Bull, who is the hot, strawberry jam in the middle. Should I know Diane Bull? She has evidently been on the stage more than TV. A striking comic actress with a putter-putter, two-stroke delivery as if she talked ("Phe-nom-en-al") when you pulled a string at the back. Beautiful dolls are faintly unfashionable and, therefore, to be cherished as rarities.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 27th November 1992
