Before the Nolly drama from ITV & the arrival of Boom Radio, there was only really 1 place the Crossroads Motel would get a mention from time to time & that was on Paul's radio show. & the fabulous 50th hour-long special Paul hosted. We're so sad to hear the news. #RIPPaulOGrady

The Lily Savage Show. Jane Rossington plays 'Vera' in a dramatic recreation of when Buster saved the family from a fire. Stephanie Beacham plays Lily and Zoe Ball is Lily's daughter. Paul O'Grady pops up to tell part of the story as the real Lily. #RipPaulOgrady

In the days of 'recorded as live' if an episode ended with a scene you wanted to start the next episode with, you did the scene again. Crossroads did this often, but maybe never quite like this in the fabulous Young Doctors also from Reg Watson. Quite a spot the difference...

ITV has commissioned Nolly, a 3-part drama starring BAFTA-winning Helena Bonham Carter as Noele Gordon and written by BAFTA-winning writer Russell T Davies. I know we're just as pleasantly surprised too. "Noele Gordon was a fascinating, complex, brilliant and gutsy woman" - HBC

Well done to everyone involved in #Nolly and The Real Nolly. Whether you enjoyed the drama or not, and thankfully it seems the majority loved it, it has given Noele a return to the spotlight and highlighted maybe just some of the good things the soap did.
