It started off so well.... Initial press reaction to Crossroads 2001 was on the whole positive. Ideas and suggestions of how it should look, how it should sound and who should be in it ensured that the revamped Crossroads was never far from the entertainment sections of the national media
Before Crossroads hit the screens on Monday March 5th 2001, a special press launch was held on February 14th (Valentine's Day) at The Great Eastern Hotel on Liverpool Street in London. 200 journalists were invited to a special screening.
Tony Adams who played Adam Chance recalls "The lights went down and the theme music started and the whole room cheered."
"This is heady stuff, and it's terrific....The performances too are impressive - these people can act;....It's well made, well written and well performed." (Jaci Stephen "The Mail on Sunday")
"The new Crossroads is sizzling and steamy. This is a confident, pacey, funny, sexy little soap which could wash the BBC's tired old Neighbours down the plughole." (Charlie Catchpole "The Mirror")
"The new Crossroads has got success written all over it." (Gary Bushell "The Sun")

This is the first time I've ever seen this and it's brilliant! Crossroads 2001 started off so well, but then after about 3 months, from the time Jill was killed off, it all started to go downhill. It could have been saved though. Instead it was given a very radical revamp which totally destroyed Crossroads and was taken off air shortly afterwards.
