I was watching some Crossroads DVDs with Amy in them,we all agreed she was great,shame she was dropped in 76 but at least she got to make a few guest appearances in 87!
I think Amy mentioning Meg's death,was the first time it was addressed in the show,I think. It was nice to see old characters returning,especially after the axing of my beloved Miss Diane,wasn't Gabrielle Drake really good as Nicola Freeman?
"Is it 1975 or 1987?" you ask. Judging by Nicola's hair and Jill's shoulder pads I'd say 1987 (lol)! Lovely clip. I really like your end credits. I was glad when Amy returned.
Who on Earth thought it was a good idea to bring back Amy Turtle !!!...honest to God they sack Noele Gordon,Ronald Allen,Sue Lloyd & Sue Hanson and bring back Amy !!
@RelativeBadger Award winning set designers, script writers who in some cases worked on Doctor Who and other big budget dramas and some dodgy acting, but Terence Rigby was a well respected actor. Says more about YOU than the progamme. Having said that, its the kind of shit ITV would love more of these days, pulling in millions of viewers and making the company Millions in revenue a week. Thats a great failure!
Amy Turtle was like some old woman they pulled off the street and told her to just chat along with the other cast members in this bit, LOL.
Amy Turtle, a legend
I loved it when Amy made her brief return to the show! Thanks for the clip.
Ann George is my great aunt!!!!
Legend, I miss her

I remember being shocked they mentioned Meg's death here.
she made crossroads was fab
Blimey - were the endings always that random?
@Markjuk Supposed to be a semi-regular, but she only appeared a few times.
How long was Amy Turtle back for in 1987? Was it just a few episodes or did she return for a few months?
@RelativeBadger Much better than the depressing crap there is on now...
I can't remember how the manager (was it tommy bomber lancaster?) made it into Crossroads... How was that?
Fun seeing Amy.
@ednaman She said "bawl" not "ball". Although it's funny the way she says "Ed" instead of "She'd"
its the black country accent ..she said had a ball(shout) like a fish wife and also she say air {her meaning she} its another language

@fendweller Not a real episode, by the time she'd returned it had a new theme tune.
@RelativeBadger And went on to Grundy TV and created Neighbours, so maybe...LOL.
Terence Rigby has died sadly
Try working in a hotel.. then you'll know. I worked in one and the things you see! :) Though probably not as bad as what the police force see.
