Delia French is a character in The Bill. Once in charge of the station typing pool, Jamaican-born Delia French left to take a clerical job in the city before returning to Sun Hill in 1990 as a probationary WPC. Delia was a feisty addition to the ranks of Sun Hill - she had no qualms in berating members of CID for the poor quality of interview transcripts, and also was a bit of a gossip - taking great interest in the business affairs of every officer in the station. She could be tough when she wanted to, and was by no means a push-over. Delia also had a razor sharp wit and was not afraid to use it. But her infectious enthusiasm soon broke down barriers and made her friends in the station.
