Crossroads, also known as Crossroads Motel and Crossroads Kings Oak, was a UK television soap opera that originally ran from 2nd November 1964 until 4th April 1988. The show, made by ATV ( Associated Television ) and later by Central ( Central Independent Television ), was based around the comings and goings of a Motel close to the city of Birmingham.
As both ATV and Central no longer exist copyright of this production is now held by ITV PLC.
I remember the actor who plays Adam Chance I remember him as Dr Bywayers in general hospital
Wow!!
Thank you, I'm thrilled to get a message from you direct. Thank you very much, it means a lot to me. You bring so much pleasure to us all that have joined your wonderful channel! Long may we continue to be connected with you. I really do hope you have more to give people like me.. Controversial as I am to say this amongst all loyal fans. But, I really loved the era of Gabriel Drake , the Freeman's family and all that was between 1985 to 1988. I loved it all. Even the Kings Oak titles and theme tune. Although, I always felt Kings Oak would have worked better as a Sunday night spinoff from Crossroads. Just set in the village. It would have worked in the time of where the heart is and Emmerdale when it was showing on a Sunday evening. Think watching "Nolly" we all know that Crossroads didn't fail. It just never stood a chance with the press & the big boys at ITV! Even now though this friend from way back is still bringing people like us together. Thank you to you whoever you are .. Crossroads Motel Channel, thank you for being new friends x
So that's why they made so much of Adam's dressing gown!
I'm a London boy. I was brought up as such. To see Jo Good in this is such a thrill. Her subsequent work on BBC radio (and OFAH) lol... Is worthy of credit and recognition. And I'm speaking of culture. Don't even start me on her work with our lovely canine friends...
Crossroads better than the soaps of today. Totally more realistic in these American/ British modern soaps. It makes me laugh or deppressed!😢

@0:27-Famous last words David!. And talking of famous last words @11:05 get grovling Adam!
Surprise a mechanic isn't a Mickley mouse degree in uni these days. A degree, but can't tell the differance between abd or 123
😅
I hated Adam Chance. what a creep he was.

They used to say that Crossroads had unbelievable plots and storylines that didn't reflect the ordinary people. I wonder how those same critics from yesterday would eat their words today! when it comes to comparing Crossroads to the soaps of today that still run on tv . Back in the day, Crossroads was unjustly criticised and mocked as the poor relation compared to Corrie & Enders! Erm, "Hello" you only have to see the current reruns of so called "Classic" Enders , Corrie & Emmerdale in order to see just how over the top , far fetched and a shadow of their original format that they've all become! Corrie is nothing like it was, yet keeps it's 1960 theme tune that does not match the dark show it is today. Enders is still stuck in 1985 with a cheap map for opening titles instead of real shots of the Thames and a dated theme tune! In the real world Emmerdale would have been axed years ago, but has been kept as a filler for the timeslot.. Crossroads here , just watching these episodes confirmed everything I have ever thought. Something that we all know. It was the forever staple early evening soap opera that we all relaxed with after dinner. A friend to everyone old and young, you only have to see what came up next after these 1884 episodes.. As it went into 1985 the show was slick modernized and sexy. With all the the new characters that came in next and worked "Side by Side " with the remaining characters I.e. Jill, Adam, Diane and Miranda. That's credible what would happen in a motel / Hotel. The Kings oak village gave us characters. Not planes falling on the village or endless serial killer characters all living in one street, village or family members. Throughout 24 years, every so often a murder, a shooting and a Motel fire! Gee, if Crossroads was over the top back then. Compared to what traumas we are subjected to with today's offering of the so called 'soap's.. Then give me this lower budget friend back any day! Character based with stories that brought you back and looked forward to seeing the next episode. Sets we enjoyed looking at that captured your imagination, people that we cared about and wanted to see more of and what happened to them next. Most of all, 5his show brought stability to our lives. No matter how bad your own day had been whether it was school, work or for older people stuck in in a rainy day like today. We all had Crossroads at 6:35pm to emerse ourselves into for those twenty two minutes or so. How lucky we was go have had this at the time. How lucky we all are today for you the people at the "Crossroads motel "channel - for creating this channel and for putting these wonderful episodes up on here for us all to enjoy. Now we don't have to wait til 6:35pm . We can now watch these over and over at anytime!! So grateful to you, "Thank You!!" Sorry, this was a bit long. Just so passionate about justice for Crossroads.. Love to you all & everyone loving this show alike.. Scott from Essex X
Very pleased you are enjoying the channel 🙂
