 Crossroads 2001 - Celebrating ITV's hotel soap from Carlton Television
With ITV rightly celebrating the first fifty years of commercial television in the United Kingdom it was only proper that the long running serial (and television institution) “Crossroads” was mentioned as part of the proceedings.
Understandably the focus of the celebrations was the original series that ran from 1964-1988, but for fans of the 2001 series there were one or two snippets worthy of a mention.
And there you have it – perhaps not the rose-tinted view of the series we like to present here on Crossroads 2001, but still a mention – And as one of the last network programmes to be made by the Central region for the ITV network, worthy of its place in Midlands broadcasting history.

Larson and ABC tried to relaunch the series with the less-expensive Galactica 1980, which lasted only six episodes (without Starbuck and Apollo) and was widely panned by critics and fans alike.
(The series, in which the Galactica finds Earth, is generally disregarded as not part of the show's official canon.) In the 23 years since, the show's fans, cast, and crew (notably creator Glen Larson and actor Richard Hatch) have petitioned to bring back the adventures of the Galactica with a continuation of the original.
The mini-series saw high ratings when it aired in December of 2003, and when the regular television series premiered on January 14, 2005, it immediately became the network's highest-rated original series.

 "America at a Crossroads" veers to the right | Salon
The highly touted PBS series on Islam and terrorism casts a cold eye on Bush's Iraq disaster -- but fails to examine Mideast history or America's failed policies in the region.
If anyone still believes that PBS has a left-wing bias, "America at a Crossroads," the $20 million, 12-hour series about Islam, terrorism and the post-9/11 world that kicked off Sunday night, should shut them up once and for all.
The real problem is "Crossroads'" almost complete failure to explore the history of the Middle East, the effect of Western policies on its people, and the political and historical grievances that are largely responsible for Muslim and Arab rage at the West.
