MY WORST initial fear about doing the Crossroads 'lost tape rediscovered' story was that somebody might suddenly want to exhume the show's bones once again.
There can be no more, surely. After it was supposed to have been axed for good in 1988, bringing it back and recycling it twice involved a series of mistakes that have hopefully been laid to rest once and for all.
And yet, at the back of my mind, a contact at ITV.com was sooooo excited by the news of the earliest tape discovery that somehow you wouldn't put it past them...
The best thing about Crossroads was that it was always surprisingly relevant as well as being accessible on screen and behind the scenes.
Researching the story also reminded me what a giant, much-loved star Noele Gordon was... and that I must post on this site an interview I once did with her agent. Look out for it soon because it's an interesting retrospective insight into former values.
Eight times Noele won TV Times' biggest annual award, for example.
She used to live in Handsworth Wood, where one of her bedrooms was converted into a walk-in wardrobe. Nice.
Who and where are the stars now flying the flag for Brum... and living here?
