We're broadcasting a special interview never heard before with the creator of Crossroads, the pioneering female TV executive Hazel Adair. Ashley Byrne conducted Hazel's very last interview and met her son Charles Marriot back in 2015. Hazel's memory wasn't what it had been but she did remember plenty of key points from her long career in radio, tv and film. There's a few surprises along the way as Hazel talks about making several TV breakthroughs including the very first female focused soap. 

Enjoy!

As the TV drama Nolly goes live on ITVX find out the real story behind Crossroads and Noele Gordon here as we re-release our special interview with Nolly's friend Tony Adams who played Adam Chance in the hit ATV drama serial which began in 1964 and ran for 24 years the first time round.

In a candid and often very funny look back, Tony talks to Ashley Byrne about joining the soap in 1978 and recalls some of the great actors he worked with on the show.  Wobbly sets, missing lines, running short, 'as live' mistakes, it's all here as Tony remembers the iconic show which critics panned but the viewers loved (and still love years later).

Enjoy!
