CROSSROADS: TITLES, CREDITS AND OTHER TV PRESENTATION |
|||
|
|
Ask people what they remember about Crossroads, and one of the first things they remember is the music. The Crossroads 2001 titles were innovative, bright and orange! More importantly they saw the reinstatement of the Tony Hatch Crossroads Theme - missing at the end of the original series. You can read our exclusive interview with composer Tony Flynn HERE. Tony had the job of arranging the theme for the 21st century. We present the titles to you in TWO formats. The first is video clips which should play automatically when you click on them (alternatively RIGHT click and SAVE TARGET AS). The second is a detailed look at screen captures. Finally we showcase a few other presentational items including next captions, trailers and holding slides – some of which have been recreated. |

|
A swift glass of sparkling wine… |
Followed by Tracey’s lips and Beena’s eyes… |
A pan along a hotel corridor… |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Someone has an eye on us… |
We then see Ray’s arm and a posh car… |
Tracey walks down a corridor while Beena crosses the bar… |
|

The pan along the bar continues… |
Then we see Jake’s jacket…. |
Followed by some discarded lingerie… |

Ray and Beena cross paths… |
Replaced by a blend of all the shots… |
