I'm 69 now and loved watching Crossroads. Not sure if I started watching it after I got married in 1973..but watched it until the very end ❤

[@davidmcilroy4697]

Crossroads was my favourite programme way back then. Thanks for keeping us entertained with your life stories. You’re so fully of energy and enthusiasm and it’s an absolute joy to view your videos.

[@Italiana911]

Jo, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with your facial profile now, you’re lovely. 💕

[@frannieb5203]

Loved hearing about Crossroads. The lighting in your flat is perfect and you look fabulous this post. I love that floral chair.

[@GRTVO]

I used to watch Crossroads as a child. I remember your face. I think it's wonderful that you talk about it with such fondness. Crossroads wasn't that bad, well not to me and I used to love singing the theme tune at the end.

[@clareconnollywellness]

Jo - I LOVE THIS you’re a wonderful actress! I can’t believe you had to supply your own costume though! I can see you now banging those pots and pans 🤣 and for the record your profile is still stunning! This was a great video thanks for sharing x

[@lorettaweber8422]

Funny, I stumbled across that clip a couple of weeks ago. We always watched it in our house when I was a kid. Mr Hunter was very dashing 😀

[@carolnewlands8630]

You may not be young..BUT!!! You are still beautiful!!

[@getagava2912]

So true 💝

[@karenb8715]

I remember Benny with his Beanie saying “Miss Diane” 😂 all the time x

[@jacquiheywood3142]

I live in NZ but I am actually English. I'm 57 this year so I grew up with Crossroads. It was so bad it was actually great. I loved it. The sets did seem to be made of tissue paper... LOL What a great video. Thanks for that trip down memory lane.

[@adrianbrown9068]

I used to watch it off and on. I would have never ever ever recognised you. What a life you are having and still going so bloody strong every single day. You really are a credit Jo. Just fantastic. Come on you 15 million where are you.

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

Adrian..thankyou!

[@GoodCourage]

First of all, you look absolutely amazing today -- so radiant. And I love the hair. Second, not everyone who is young is beautiful (that's for sure!). In fact, when I see videos and photos of you from years ago, I actually think you are more beautiful today. I'm very serious. And further, I feel bad because I saw this video back in April and assumed you already knew of its existence. I won't do that anymore. If I see these kinds of things, I'll send on to you. Finally, if the right part comes along, I think you should think about giving acting a go again. I think you have a lot more range today. Have a wonderful rest of your week. And to the rest of you, SUBSCRIBE!

[@johannacollins1130]

Ha ha who knew? I did not! I bloody loved Crossroads!! I was around 10 then and was a little in love with Mr Hunter, that voice 😁

[@Wendy-fi7yb]

You look just as pretty now as you did then Jo! Hope your mum is recovering. 💕

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

thankyou

[@joydickinson4040]

Hello Jo ..you always look so smartly dressed.I do hope your mum is getting better .💖💖

[@marykrill4469]

I have just found your channel and i recognised you straight away, busy binge watching all your vlogs......lots of catching up to do.x

[@JeanWendy65]

Great looking back at Crossroads I didn’t know you were in it. I would love to see it again. You were very young. But you still look young. I wish I was as slim and fit as you. XXX

[@fionabarry7508]

This is an absolutely wonderful trip down memory lane!! I watched Crossroads every evening with my supper on my knee, after school, and loved it. It was the first soap opera I watched , it was an integral part of my day - a great escape after a hard day. I quite often find myself having great , funny chats about it with fellow aficionados. I also adored Acorn Antiques, which was a great homage to it! I love you even more now!

[@ljd3766]

Loved that Jo! I really like hearing about where you have worked x

[@TaylorTiree]

I absolutely loved Crossroads! Watched it from the beginning in the 1960s! Those were the days ❤️

[@deborahcurtis1385]

Jo you were great!!! I love the rawness of it ...the crashing dishes were the best and the other actors didn't react at all!

[@alexnewall8864]

Omg jo that’s brought back some memories , loved it and jo your looking better everyday during this lockdown 🥰xxx

[@t_ruth555]

Crossroads was so funny.... I havent had a tv in over 12 years but I would buy one if they could recreate crossroads in the same way, wobbly props and all. You were great !!!!! ❤💛💚

[@NadineBaggott]

Loved this x I used to come home from school and my mum used to rush our ‘tea’ so she could watch Crossroads ❤️

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

[@YolkaF]

[@katblackmore9366]

I used to run in to the front room to dance to the Crossroads theme when I was 5 years old! I loved it! Great to see the clips of you in it :) wish I could see more!

[@helenfrancis2915]

Great fun and how refreshingly uplifting to watch. Yes I too was a Crossroads fan, and you made that character you played memorable, you were a natural! You can certainly craft a video, Jo, you’re a skilled presenter and creator.

[@davidstoner3780]

This is great jo have just subscribed about a year late you spoke so well about your time in crossroads loved you in it and your time on southern counties radio

[@jackywatts7158]

Wow, a blast from the past. I loved crossroads. Brilliant Jo 😊

[@heatherfinlayson9460]

Love the dress Jo and you look better with age!

[@jazeyrazey4301]

First time I am commenting ... *waves* from America !! 😊 Awww, those clips are brilliant. 👍 About youth being wasted on the young - one is as young as one feels, and your youthful spirit and positive energy are what inspired me to subscribe to your channel a couple of months ago. Oh, but I had to laugh out loud when you said this about your ex-husband 11:10 sour grapes for him then when instead he should have been happy for you and not petulantly jealous. 😜 "Good" on YOU, Jo !! 👌

[@samszczepanski6513]

😆 Priceless, Jo - happy memories of teatime telly! And parsley sauce - my mother always served that with fish fingers.

[@sarahgraves7860]

Thank you for this. My grandmother, then my mother and then my younger sister loved it from the 60s through the 80s.

[@MsSam66ok]

Oh my goodness, it was so much fun watching you. Awww. You are still just so lovely!

[@clairesimpson5527]

Fantastic to be reminded of Crossroads. I used to watch it with my Gran! Love your vlogs Jo xx

[@teresaburrows1118]

I loved crossroads was so upset when it finished. Looking back at it now it seems awful not the program but the filming. Miss Diane ,Benny and Sandy happy day. Hope your mum is good Jo x

[@louiseparker8439]

You are still so pretty and being in my 50s now yes i totally agree we are never happy with ourselves untill we look back and appreciate it all. Love following you hun x hope yr mum is on the mend too. Shelly xx

[@monikar9846]

Jo, so neat to see you in a different way. I've never seen Crossroads, but it looks like it would have been fun to watch. Love your dress.

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

It was addictive for all the wrong reasons

[@christineburke4785]

This made me smile from start to finish 😊. You still look really good Jo, bright and glowy. Love the dress .😘xx

[@LesleyMacaulay]

I had to show this to my husband and we laughed our heads off! Brought back so many great memories! Everyone watched it in Northern Ireland 💕😘🌸🌺

[@krc5210]

That was fun to see!! TY Jo!

[@margyslater4985]

Ok-watching you make the parsley sauce and your follow-up “speech” is the most entertaining thing that I’ve watched since the pandemic lockdown began. Love it-you’re the best Jo!❤️👍🇨🇦😍💋🇬🇧

[@su4914]

[@sjsomer917]

Loved this!

[@wendyclarke3979]

My, you look absolutely glowing. Beautiful outfit. I’m a true Brummie and as so didn’t miss an episode in my youth. Magic, especially with the moving walls and doors 😊

[@FoodieForce]

Jo beautiful in your youth, stunning in your prime. You haven’t lost it, maybe just appreciate it a bit more than your younger self. I used to love Crossroads x

[@barefootangel3634]

OH WOW! You was in CROSSROADS! 😮😮😮😮 That programme was a bit part of my life, we always used to have dinner, then afterwards we used to turn on the tele just in time to watch it , we watched it right up till the last series, everyone was sad it came to an end, (I am 48 now lol) loved Benny (and his hat 🤣) and Jill too, David and Barbara, Miss Dianne bless her, I used to be a bit scared of Meg, don’t know why 🤣 Oh the memories lol 😂That’s is amazing you was a part of it, how wonderful ❤️💜🌸❤️💜🌸❤️💜🌸❤️💜🌸❤️💜🌸

[@amandacrozier5368]

You are looking lovely and summery. Goodness - Crossroads a blast from the past!

[@wendyrual7179]

That was such a great vlog Jo! I loved Crossroads, watched it every night! Can't believe that was you 😀!....I reckon, that in those clips, YOU were the best actor! You flowed.....they were rather stilted! Ha ha! Amazing! Oh & I love that white dress....you look stunning...much love 💕

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

thank you x

[@lynnclarkson1733]

Aw I loved you in Crossroads. It was my fav soap and I clearly recall your character. You were so unique . I can’t say I noticed the sets, but I was young so probably didn’t realise. I think soaps are good and it gave you a springboard for other things. 😊

[@gardenroom65]

Started at 6.45pm. Loved Noel Gordon and Hugh with the drinks trolley. Fantastic ❤️🌹🎉

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

AND Mr Lovejoy

[@shelaghjackson9577]

[@lindas8712]

Love it! The scene where the phone rings and the way you placed your hands on your hips, I notice you do stand like that sometimes in some of your vlogs. So cute!!

[@starshine9147]

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

thankyou

[@DawnsDays]

I loved Crossroads, they had some massive story lines too. A great claim to fame Jo and I love that your friend still has that pinny lol xx

[@joffbrown]

Love it my nan was one of those 15 million back in the day even I remember watching it with her but sadly she died a couple of 3 years ago, but she would of loved watching it again, you should do one like this about the time you was in Benny Hill haha plus sadly a lot of those 15 million have probably pass way cos of this coronavirus which is a horrible thought. See you Sunday have a great week Jo

[@nancynoo]

I always watched Crossroads. It was of its day! Miss Diane, Benny, Sandy etc and I remember you of course! To be honest I think you look more beautiful now xxx

[@stauroulla]
