[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 436048, member: 673"] The fire episode got 15.6m viewers while the QE2 departure got 15.8m, which placed [I]Crossroads[/I] in 3rd place of ITV shows both weeks (behind the two [I]Coronation Street[/I] episodes, which were pulling 16m). There’s two things that come to my mind. Firstly, the show was released on streaming on ITVX in February 2023, so by the time it made it to ITV’s linear channel, it had been available to watch on demand for ten months. Secondly, while a treat for soap fans like us, it’s actually a bit of a niche show for the general viewing public to get into. The story of the axing of a soap star (who granted, was a big name), 42 years ago, from a soap that had been off the air for 35 years. I’m delighted that it got made and I enjoyed watching it but it wouldn’t have had a wide appeal in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
