The Crossroads Collection coming to DVD
Network is releasing The Crossroads Collection on 1st September 2008, following the success of these four series originally sold separately. This eight-disc set will be available at all good retailers RRP £39.99.
The soap achieved cult status during its original seventeen-year run (between 1964 and 1983). Set around a family-run motel on the outskirts of Birmingham, Crossroads was primetime viewing with more than 15 million viewers regularly tuning in for each daily instalment.
The show created famous and well-loved characters such as Meg (Noele Gordon – Summer Royal, The Most Likely Girl), Benny Hawkins (Paul Henry – Bad Girls, Romeo and Juliet), Adam Chance (Tony Adams – Hardly Working, Superfantagenio) and Marilyn Gates (Sue Nicholls – Coronation Street).
