I don't watch Neighbours either.

I remember Crossroads as I have seen tv shows of the 100 worst tv shows ever and Crossroads is always there. The acting, the sets, you are only 27, so you cant have seen much more than me.

I don't read the Sun and I am NOT unemployed. Nor do I watch Love Island. I watch Big Brother though.

It got 18 million viewers because there were only 4 channels to watch. Kiss my teeth!

Crossroads? Oh, of course it was.. it was watched by people who read The Sun and were unemployed. Its like Love Island and such programmes, all shite lasts 24 years and has 18 million viewers, I forgot.

[fossy111]

I am not unemployed, nor do I read The sun or watch love island.

It got 18 million viewers cos then there were only 4 channels. Kiss my teeth.

[MikeGNE]

Well I did fail to see what was funny about it. Compact and Emergency Ward Ten both opened in the same style. Hardly funny.

[fossy111]

cos it was shite!

[MikeGNE]

Yes, and they also include "most" programmes in the "worst" its also featured in the Best Soap Moments also. So its all fair in love and war.

Well I may have an advantage in as much as I've got the entire fan club archive of videos to view. I've yet to see a wobbly set. I've seen plenty in Corrie, but ain't found one in Crossroads yet. I did watch it in the mid-late 80s which is why I rediscovered it later. (UK Gold too) Anyway.. we'll agree to disagree I suppose.

[MikeGNE]

I usually, when someone just replies with "it was shite" ask why they think that. However, seen as you're only 24 you haven't got a clue what you're talking about. Feel free to provide a list of scenes showing why it was "shite" and i'll provide double why it wasn't! The first-ever episode of Neighbours also opens the same way, my goodness if people think that opening to Crossroads is "hilarious" you'll be pissing your knickers to Neighbours.

@fossy111 FOUR Channels???!! That wasn't until 1982 my boy. We had to endure this shit for many years before that! I don't read The Sun either. Does anybody anymore?

[irrikan]

I remember as a kid watching the ATV title, hoping something good was coming on, then being confronted with the Crossroads titles and music and crying "ooooh !&$#!!! Time to play outside...."

[vanillaorchid]

This IS hilarious.

[JHollowayNetwork]

The ATV In Colour Caption at the beginning had different music from the other one, and it's given less of a Scare Factor.

[Voxac100b]

Slightly different ATV drumroll

Mrs Overall!

[netgemiplayer]

that's the patronizing middle-class mainstream media for you

[AidanLunn]

add to that the fact that most people couldn't recieve the third channel - BBC-2!!!

[AllisonGrosser]

Oh my goodness! This brings back memories! :-)

I think Crossroads(the orginal)was unfairly knocked,what it did have a bad habit of wriitng out popular characters,Meg,The Hunters,Miss Diane,Miss Luke etc.

Don't get mr started don the awful remakes!
