After more than a decade the doors will be re-opening at Crossroads. Carlton Television is spending 10 million pounds reviving the much-loved soap (whose viewing peaked at over 18 million), which will be shown five days a week at lunchtime, with a repeat in early evening, from spring 2001. The new Crossroads will be made in Nottingham, with the old motel transformed into a modern hotel, and with a host of new characters - although it is expected that some of the original stars will return. Geoff Tibballs will tell fans everything they ever wanted to know about Crossroads new and old. As well as profiling the new arrivals and exploring how and why the show has been revived after all these years, the book will turn back the clock and consider life at the motel during the previous series run of 4,500 episodes. The book includes reviews of the show''s most famous storylines including Diane''s death, the motel fire, Meg Richardson''s departure, the test-tube baby (the first time a subject like this had been explored in a soap), and the world''s first eleven-month pregnancy.Containing profiles of all the show''s favourite characters including Benny, Amy Turtle, Diane, David Hunter, Meg Richardson, Jill Richardson and her brother Sandy, as well the most popular stars of the new series. Crossroads is a must for fans old and new.

Short, quick-fire jokes have been popular for centuries. Indeed the world''s oldest surviving joke book, the Philogelos, which was written in Ancient Greek, contains this classic doctor joke: Patient: "Doctor! When I wake up I''m all dizzy. Then after half an hour I feel fine." Doctor: "Well, wait half an hour before waking up." It''s not hard to see why one-liners remain in vogue with today''s comedians. They are easy to remember, quick to deliver and if one gag dies on its feet, the next is waiting in the wings, hopefully to a better reception. Here is a compilation of the best one-liners around - a heady mix of old and new favorites, Dad jokes, thoughtful musings, corny puns and witty observations, covering a vast range of topics from Families to Fish, Money to Music, Relationships to Religion and Technology to Travel. They can be used to brighten up business conferences where the delegates are as tired as the sandwiches; dinner parties where the conversation is threatening to slide into a discussion about spreadsheets; seemingly interminable Zoom calls; and, of course, speeches at weddings that are so emotional that even the cake is in tiers.
