      It amazes me, how they all got home to watch it, as it was in the days before video recorders (one for our older viewers)
      Wasn’t it on at 4.30pm ?

        No mention of Amy Turtle? Surely the inspiration for Julie Walters’ brilliant Mrs Overall.

        Crossroads reminds me of easier, carefree times, coming in from school, tea already done so Mam could settle down for half hour and watch.

          Aw c’mon it could have veered off into a wheelchair bound American detective thread, at least its morphed into a tribute to the acting phenomenon that was Crossroads.

              This news brings me much joy. It seems clear this will now happen and he can add a sprinkle of class to the midfield. Fun times ahead, attendances and season ticket sales boosted, and by the looks of it some pleasant, eye-candy football to look forward to nexf season.

              Tonight will be enjoyable. I shall cook myself an African Shakshuka for tea and chow down happily on that. Then pour myself a nice glass of Argentinian Malbec or two in celebration of this news. Joyful.

                Sure it was later than that, wasn’t it the half hour before the 6 o’clock news? So 5.30pm.

                  Neighbours would have been a more apt soap, I s’pose but I never watched that

                    HTV Wales news was at six for half an hour, with the national news at 5.45 and Crossroads started at 5.15 - I used to work flexi time during my Crossroads watching days, something like 7.30 to 4.30, so I’d always be home by 5.

                    Regarding video recorders, I got one from Radiocraft on Cowbridge Road in about 1979 (Betamax of course ) and it cost an absolute fortune by the standards of the day - I paid on the monthly for it over about four years and yet a pretty big portion of my wages still went on it every month. It was used mostly to record Match of the Day so I could watch it with my hangover on Sunday morning - I was never sad enough to record an episode of Crossroads on it though.

                      You didn’t need to record it, unless for later scrutiny

                        Ramsey to agent "..I can't wait to get this done and over the line - the fans will be so excited. I bet the talk on the boards is reaching a crescendo, right ?

                        Agent to Ramsey "..er, not exactly Aaron. Your impending transfer did have a thread on the boards but it's now turned to Amy Turtle and Crossroads..

                          start at 3.30 for a classical actor's demise...

                              Sorry, I’ve come over all emotional after watching that - all with the Paul McCartney version of the theme tune to increase the dramatic effect
