I watched Crossroads from about 1974 to 1988, missing some portions towards the end. Much has been said of wobbly sets, dire acting (yes, Amy Turtle was truly dreadful) but who remembers...
David Hunter's home being occupied by squatters, who he eventually helps; Jim Baines and family...
Avis Tennyson "no relation" (to the poet) the plain maid who arrived at the same time as a glamorous woman; much confusion between Sandy and David ("I don't fancy yours much", or a middle class version of the same).
Carney the "old codger".
Benny whose bathwater was a constant threat on Tiswas.
Miss Diane, Benny's friend ("mist dye-onn").
----- Yes of course it was awful, and no apologists can correct that; it is however a travesty that most of the shows have been wiped, gone forever. Unlike the similarly erased Dr Who it seems unlikely that any early video owning fans will have hundreds of hours of Motel videos in an attic...
