I didn't really want to watch this but my wife was keen and Helena Bonham Carter is in it, so I succumbed.
I remember Crossroads as a dreadfully poor soap that my Grandparents used to watch. Cardboard sets and cardboard acting. It was popular of course, but that's no recommendation. Knowing nothing else of Noele Gordon I had little interest in a series about her. The advertised shocking truth about her firing did however raise some interest.
So I learned that Noele Gordon had more to her than Crossroads. Good for her. I also learned the far from shocking truth about her firing.
What makes this series more enjoyable than it might have been is the performance of Helena Bonham Carter. She is as good as you'd expect from such a distinguished actress.
