why are granada ventures delaying yet again on the release of box set 3 its seems us soap fans can wait it was promised for july but yet again tbc anyone know...
I still have no idea what's on it but I believe that it has been said unofficially that the DVD will now be released in August. I suspect it will be more 70s...
Well I'm hoping that they've decided to get these DVDs finally right! I'm sure they will the good people at Granada Yorkshire and the BFI have/are assisted in...
It may still have been filmed "as live" in the early to mid 80's Mike, but I can assure you there was nothing embarrassing about the programme at that time! It...
Just to let you all know some exciting news, Mike is in touch with Jon Bentley (Hugh Mortimer) and he is willing to do an interview for us! It is to be a joint...
... Mike, ... programme ... brash ... Hear, hear, Dan. I was 15 in 1985 and watched all the soaps except EastEnders. They all worked in their own way....
I don't find the contents old hat at all, I mean it was very cutting edge still at the time. Especially in 1984 with the drug issue with the role actor Mike...
Wow, that is a great scoop. Good to know he's still with us too. ... From: Daniel Landsberger To: crossroadsonline@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 15,...
It might have looked modern - but the characters and the storylines were dire! How could he have got rid of David and Barbara Hunter, the Pollards, Glen and...
A few questions I'd like to ask him (mostly very obvius and unimaginative I'm afraid!): 1. What was Noele Gordon like to work with? 2. What are your memories...
Too add to those, I suppose because its a bit sketchy, we should ask him why he turned up in episode 86, in March 1965. See if we can get some early storylines...
I think to be fair, and seeing interviews with Ronnie and Sue at the time, it looks like it was orders from above him to ditch The Hunters. If anyone didn't...
Mike, I wasn't suggesting that it was all Bowman's fault personally for ruining Crossroads, not at all! I know that the Powers-That-Be wanted to end Crossroads...
The one thing I always find staggering is that they kept Jill. Now, don't get me wrong, I adore Jill and she's my 2nd fave character (after Meg of course),...
I agree, Mark, but if they were the most popular, (which I think they along with the Hunters probably were), and they had seriously wanted to get rid of ...
I think it would be difficult to get Phillip Bowman to talk about Crossroads especially to a fan site! He must know he's not too popular with Crossroads fans!...
I think keeping the most popular wasn't on the cards. As Paul Henry said they went out of their way to axe all the popular characters and replace them with...
To be fair to Butcher Bill though, he did actually to mind seem to do better with Crossroads than Mr Bowman. Yes there were massive changes, but there were...
The only good thing I can say about the Smethurst years was Tommy "Bomber" Lancaster. I can honestly say that of the characters introduced after 1985 he was...
I agree he was a good character, played by a good actor - Terence Rigby. Be good to get an interview with him actually. ... From: Daniel Landsberger To:...
i really fancied debbie lancaster, i thought she was really gorgeous, so good looking,WOW i went to the crossroads convention at stan stennetts roses theatre...
There are other people I speak to don't like Tommy, but I do too. I think he's quite a one. I thought Mrs Tardebigge was rather interesting. A little potty....
I didn't like her character but I think I can understand why you fancied her Peter! That mjst have been a bit of a fantasy come true for you, meeting her like...
