'Round The Archives In Conversation' Episode 22 now available!

The Christmas at 'Crossroads' Special.

"Is it hissy or are his pots boiling over?"

(SPOILER WARNING : In this episode, we discuss many of the plotlines from the 1970s episodes of 'Crossroads', so be aware if you've not watched them yet...)

This time Lisa and Andrew check in to 'Crossroads' to relive every Christmas from 1974 to 1979 and meet all the staff, residents and family. With tinsel, music and drama in abundance, this is a fond celebration of both the festive season and ATV's most famous motel. 

So join us for talk of Shughie's bagpipes, Benny's knackered old car, Meg's sudden outbreaks of singing and the complete & utter shattering of the fourth wall...

'Round The Archives In Conversation' Episode 22 stars Lisa Parker and Andrew Trowbridge.

The opening music was by Dan Tate.

The cover art was by Martin Holmes.

'Round The Archives' is produced by Andrew Trowbridge and Lisa Parker.
