Say it ain't so!

Sadly, the rumours are true. Crossroads is fucked.
Fan site Planet Crossroads has posted this statement from producers Carlton TV:
"Crossroad returned in March 2001 and has run for nearly two years. Unfortunately, despite working with ITV to develop a new, distinctive style for the show, viewers have not warmed to Crossroads in sufficient numbers. ITV has taken the decision to end transmission in the summer.
"It is disappointing to all those people who have worked and been involved with the show and, of course, those who have become fans of the new Crossroads."
thecustard reports that producer Yvon Grace informed the cast and crew of the decision on Friday night. Production ends in three weeks' time, leaving enough episodes to run for another couple of months.
Life without Jane Gurnett's grinning mug leering at us at 5pm each day from inside a big gold heart scarcely bears thinking about, but we will go on, somehow. In the meantime, lowculture's logo will be black for a suitable mourning period.

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
