Episode 23 – Debbie Does London – Where is Diana Malin?

The Minder Podcast

Welcome to episode 23 of The Minder Podcast in association with minder.org.

For our two-year anniversary of the show it’s time to honour one of the best characters in Minder history.

This episode is something a little different, part tribute and part enquiry – we are going to look at the very special Diana Malin and her character of Debbie Mitchell, as well as attempt to piece together where she might be today.

As you might imagine piecing together a history of Diana Malin is awkward, given she stopped acting in 1987 and there is very little about her online.

I did speak to a few people who knew her but they can only describe the person they knew in the 80s, and this was limited to Minder for the most part.

In the episode we go through all of Diana’s appearances in the show as well as her other acting (and beautician!) work.

You are in for a few surprises when it comes to the real Diana Malin.

And speaking of the real Diana Malin – where is she today?

In looking into both her history and her present there are several clues which have turned up. In this show I will share them with you.

Full disclosure: one story in particular is a little unpleasant. And is it really even Diana? Listen and let me know your thoughts.

One clue as to where Diana is came in 2014 and as promised in the episode, the photo is on website for the show.

So who is the real Diana Malin and where is she today?

Over to Debbie Does London for all the clues you’ll ever need.
