Crossroads had a lot of male fans for some reason. The new series was total bunk. I am old enough to remember the original format and it was rather hammy but nice, easy viewing for pre-six o'clock relaxation. Meg Richardson and her saintly son used to drive me nuts but some of the characters were real classics. The storylines were hilarious and the continuity was hysterical. Once, poor old Benny went to get a spanner and it took him ten months to come back. people used to go into a phone box wearing one set of earrings and come out wearing a completely different set! Sometimes the characters even forgot each other's names and used their real names!
