(‘Crossroads’ was a British television soap opera that ran on ‘ITV’)
(set in a fictional motel (later a hotel) in the ‘Midlands’ in England, Crossroads became a byword for ‘cheap production values’, particularly in the 1970s and early 1980s)
(despite this, the series regularly attracted huge audiences during this time, with ratings as high as 15 million viewers)
(it was created by ‘Hazel Adair’ and ‘Peter Ling’ and produced by ATV (until the end of 1981) and then by ATV’s successor, ‘Central Independent Television’ until 1988)
(the series was revived by ‘Carlton Television’ in 2001, however due to low ratings it was cancelled again in 2003)
