There was a clip online of producer Verity Lambert on a panel type show, where she was defending the series in the face of criticism from two snarky TV journalists. They’d basically only ever watched the show when it was at its worst and their entire ongoing criticism of it was based on that period despite the fact that the show had changed and improved.There’s clips of Crossroads stars or fans on similar shows and again, most of the criticism is based on historical stuff and the fans are presented as people to be mocked and laughed at. A while back, I watched about six months of the 1985 transition that saw the Hunters leave and Nicola arrive. Granted, the writing wouldn’t have been on par with the likes of EastEnders and Brookside, who would’ve been in their imperial phases at that point, but the drama was no worse than what Corrie or Emmerdale were producing at that point.</blockquote>
