Feeling inspired by the soap box dvd I watched Jack Sugden's funeral episodes of Emmerdale on youtube tonight. I don't really watch soaps now - but I have to say I enjoyed it.
Flashbacks of very much earlier episodes in the form of audio clips
References to twenty or thirty year old back stories
Annie and Robert Sugden reappearing
Mentions of Amos and Mr. Wilkes
A (probably expensive) visual effect of Clive Hornby at the end
The series original theme tune being used.
Maybe I should try to get back into it?

The Newcomers is definitely a series I'd like to see an episode of too Aston. I've read plenty about it, so would like to see if its as good as it sounds.
Sadly, only three episodes are known to exist, so these would only be tantalising glimpses.  Actually, it's five these days. Still piss-poor though, out of 430. Of the other 60s BBC soaps, the second and last episode of COMPACT, along with a compilation of two eps from when BBC2 briefly had a weekend repeat. Nothing of either the brief-lived 199 PARK LANE or footballing UNITED! And around twenty episodes of DOCTORS, mostly b/w TRs of it's final weeks. |

Doctors I think is the show Janet Hargreaves said she worked on and it was like walking into another world going from that to Crossroads!
They had costume, and money for expenses at Pebble Mill, which obviously just down the road did not.

I'll never forget that night at Crossroads, when you said 'all good things must come to an end'. And then you smiled. And I knew that you meant it.

Yes, Doctors is the show that Janet Hargreaves said she worked on.

Good to know that there's another couple of episodes available, but, as you say Concon, definitely a very poor showing considering how many episodes were made. Episode 1 of Compact got a repeat as part of Soap Weekend on Channel 4 in December 1995. I wouldn't mind having a look at Doctors too. |

I assume this 'Doctors' being mentioned has nothing to do with todays daily soap on BBC? Didn't know there was another 'Doctors' either! The only doctor-type soaps in my youth that I can recall are Emergency Ward 10, Dr Finlay, and Dr Kildare (oh - and 'Who' of course  ) |

The last ever episode of Compact was shown on BBC4 a few years ago with the introduction it was 'from the creators of Crossroads'.

Thought the "Revelations" episode was a bit dull on Soap Box,then read online that the Judy Loe characters later murders her daughter in law,buires her in the gaarden and also coves up her husband's involvement in his secretary's death.
Sounds quite compelling!

I think that happened right at the end of Series 1, which was Episode 26. The scene struck me because of Lucy Robinson's acting in it. Series 2 was about the fall-out from her death. |

Is there any news on if Network are planning any more Soap Box-set volumes?

I've not heard anything yet, Douggie. With this new deal with Studio Canal, they might want to get a few desired ABC titles out before going back to Soap Box.

Having watched quite a bit of Revelations now I can see how heavily it influenced Crossroads Mark Three which isn't surprising given the fact Yvon Grace was a script editor.
