I kinda guessed that Dannii darlin' because I have another friend called Danniella - a lovely young Sri Lankan woman.
Dannii darlin' - very probably way, way before your time, but since you said yesterday you hail from Liverpool, this television programme was supposedly based there.
I've never heard of it I'm more familiar with Bread and Brookside, although these were before my time too.
Have you heard of the TV show Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisp.? It was filmed in Cheshire which isn't too far from where i am, i used to watch it being filmed i stood right outside a chippy while the cast were inside filming their scene.
I've heard of it Dannii darlin' but have never seen any episodes, because it was probably broadcast on an evening when I was busy elsewhere.
