Noel Gordon, aka Nolly was adored by millions, The Queen of Crossroads, until it was decided that she'd served her purpose.
I really enjoyed it, it's been sat in my recordings for a long old time, I just didn't fancy it, as I'm far from a Crossroads fan. One thing I am a fan of however, Acorn Antiques, and wow, you can truly see where that came from, from the wobbly sets, to the improvisation, to the leading lady demanding at every opportunity.
Loved Molly's apartment, the kingfisher, the opera wine glasses, very much of that time.
It's a very brief rise to fame, we see virtually nothing or how Noele rose to fame, it's straight into the role that made her.
Helena Bonham Carter is just a joy as Nolly, she's so good, it's got me desperate to check out some early episodes of Crossroads.
I can't help it, but I'm seeing Miss Bertha, Miss Babs and Mrs Overall.
8/10.
