Following on from the major recent finds in the Central archive at YTV, further long lost Crossroads has recently turned up. Peter Collins, member of the Roobarb DVD forum, recorded a number of episodes of Crossroads and two programmes - one from 1969 and another from 1970 have been unearthed.
John Williams and Ian Beard have worked at identifying the episodes and conclude that one edition is from around June 1969 which is somewhere between episodes 1009 and 1182 as featured on the Network DVD releases.
The second programme is believed to be episode 1300 from June 1970.
John Williams of the The Mausoleum Club comments on the audio discoveries: "Peter showed a fine devotion to the Crossroads as a lad and recorded some episodes. There is a complete episode from 1969 and roughly half an episode from 1970 - the latter is the famous "black magic" episode which is the climax of the plot that saw Jill and Diane get mixed up with some crazy West Midland diabolists."
Alan Hayes has restored the episodes and transferred them to a digital format.
It is believed that NetworkDVD will not be including these on any DVD release. However you can hear the audio upon request.
