Celebrating Crossroads 2001 – The second series of ITV’s hotel soap from Carlton Television

CROSSROADS MERCHANDISE

“THE CROSSROADS STORY” BY GEOFF TIBBALLS

The original series of Crossroads was the inspiration for many pieces of merchandise, ranging from the “normal” books and jigsaws – to the plain ridiculous meat dish. Crossroads 2001 however only had one piece of official merchandise and that was “The Crossroads Story” – a book on the history of the series with a chapter at the end reserved for the “all new Crossroads from ITV”.

  OUR ORIGINAL REVIEW OF THE BOOK

As ITV were celebrating the relaunch of Crossroads, there were many viewers unaware of the programme's previous history. The book goes a long way to introducing readers to the glorious, and maybe not quite so glorious days of one of Britain's greatest ever soaps.

As a fan of Crossroads since I was able to sit in front of the TV I remembered many of the 1980's storylines quite clearly. The book had a wealth of photographs, and enough facts to keep even me occupied for several hours.

There is a great sense of optimism about the launch of Crossroads 2001, and the book provides images, behind the scenes information and a brief history of the journey to reviving a TV legend.

Some fans have criticised one or two factual errors in the book, but it is still an enjoyable read and a MUST for anyone interested in Crossroads 2001.
