Crossroads was one of TV's most successful soaps. It lasted for 24 years in its first run on ITV. A product of Lew Grade's ATV, it was set in a motel on the outskirts of Birmingham. The characters became instantly popular including Noel Gordon as Meg Mortimer and Jane Rossington as her daughter Jill. In 1978 Tony Adams, who had starred previously in General Hospital, landed himself a part in the show and he was there for over a decade. He takes up the story with MIM's Ashley Byrne.

Christopher Strauli was something of a sitcom heartthrob when he starred as the young, rather naive, Norman Binns in Yorkshire Television's hit Only When I Laugh from 1979 to 1983. The show based around three men in hospital also starred James Bolam, Peter Bowles, Derrick Branche and Richard Wilson, long before his Victor Meldrew days. Written by Eric Chappell, it was a huge success with an iconic theme tune. Christopher has been remembering the series with MIM's Ashley Byrne.
