This was based solely on 'Crossroads' and if you search for Crossroads on here, you will see why it is EXACTLY like it: actors not ready for prompts, forgotten lines, cardboard scenery and endings which just popped out of nowhere
@RelativeBadger Seen as you say it as 'fact' I'll direct you to Victoria Woods interview on the South Bank Show where she will differ with that view.
As for suggesting the scenery/prompts/forgotten lines. That happened in all the soaps/serials back then. It may have happened a little more often in Crossroads but only because they made the most hours of drama in a week. Funny the 'endings' thing, cos the IBA used to say they were 'too sensational' LOL so can't be both.
i love how they always try and move out of shot and hide when they do the exterior of the shop. its great i love them all brilliant actors. very cleverly written and performed. cant get enough of it.
25 years old and it hasn't dated one bit, classic comedy

Is that Bev Unwin from Corrie doing the intro? Funny how many of these people parodying soaps went on to be in them.

Don't know what's better: Mrs Overall or the old waitress that spilled all the food and got the orders wrong. Love Julie Walters.
