I absolutely adored this show especially given how accurate it was to the life of the "Queen of Midlands" growing up I was a crossroads fan and this show really highlights exactly what I loved about the show it was a story about perseverance and the sheer desire to entertain on a weekly basis even if they didn't have the budget.
Helena Bonham Carter does a fantastic job a portraying Noelle Gordon a suave and proud matriarch of British television, her character development throughout the show was brilliant and thought provoking her desire to figure out why she was fired and exactly how much her character played into it was a fascinating through-line throughout the show.
What can I say about RTD's writing that hasn't already been said the man's a king of drama the way he was seamlessly able to transition from serious drama to comedy is a talent to behold and watch in awe, and Peter Hoar's direction was a masterpiece especially with episode 3 which was just brilliant all round, very emotional and creative highlighting exactly why Nolly was such a powerful person during her rent.
