Um no I didnt say anything bad about Scott Mk 2 - infact I preferred Scott Mk 2 but liked Scott Mk 1 too!
Does anyone know when UK Gold finnished the run of Crossroads - im guessing Mid 2000 as I remember it being around the time it was first announced Crossroads was being resurrected.

I do know that by January 1999 UK Gold were in 1985, as that's when I first found it.

Presumably the earliest point they knew all the episodes from that point existed.
There's a member on my site forums who saw this UK Gold re-run and noticed that they'd missed out of the (I think) 1985 episodes.
So out of interest they contacted UK Gold to be told that the episode in question that had been missed was in actual fact damaged. I don't know which episode it was though.

The first UK Gold tx was Mon 04 Nov 96, which was originally tx on Thu 03 Dec 81, 13 episodes after the fire, and 13 episodes before Central began.

I don't think Corrie is affected by missing epsiodes. Granada had a No Junking policy in the 1960s, therefore most (if not all) epsiodes of the street survive. The reason plus started from 1976 is they do not all survive on a modern format- Prior to April 1976 they were all stored either on film or 2" quad- the BFI are/were in the process of transfering all these epsiodes over to a modern format.
The reason for April 1976 is the because in the 80s, Granada started selling the show abroad, and decided to start from April 1976, so transfered the epsidoes from that point from 2" onto 1". When Granada Plus launched in 1996, they had to start from that point as most episodes prior to that were at that time on obsolete tapes. (though some weren't as in the early days, G+ used to run Corrie Specials on Saturday afternoons, much in the same way UK Gold ran EastEnders exits last week).
I have watched all of Corrie on Plus from October 1996 when it began (1976 storylines) - I wondered why they started at that point, I thought perhaps it was because it was the point Elsie returned to the show, and also characters like The Ogdens, Rita, Alf, Bet etc were in it who werent there at the start in 1960.
I wonder if Plus will ever go back to 1976 and repeat them all again

Doesn't it also affect Corrie too, because it only started PLUS reruns at 1976(Elsie Tanner returning from marriage to Alan Howard).

I know for a fact cartloads of episodes from the late 60s onwards exist as the BFI has long been in the process of converting them.
It's only when the conversion process is completed and a lorry load of DigiBeta tapes gets sent back to Carlton Archive that they'll be available for sale to satellite channels (or whoever wants them).
Both the BFI and Carlton are understaffed in their cataloguing department and far more exists (of Crossroads AND other things) that are "missing" in an administrative sense, even though the tapes are either awaiting conversion or have recently been converted.

I knew the BFI had some episodes of Crossroads but it sounds like they've got more than I thought they had, particularly if they've got some in the big pile of stuff to catalogue.
I should be interested to see exactly what they've yet to catalogue when they've catalogued it (if that makes sense!) - I'm sure it has potential use (or can always flog it to UK Gold or Granada Plus if nothing else).

I think there is a good chance Granada Plus will show it seen as they are going to the trouble of cataloguing the episodes - maybe as Emmerdale has now reached 1999 and is fairly new for G+ they will replace that with Crossroads.

Not sure how true it is but someone who works for some terrible company says he saw something about Crossroads being maybe licenced to UK-Gold+1.
I dont know what series, but its 100% sure to not be the 98 episodes from 2003.
I saw some simular news on another Crossroads board (about it being on UK Gold+1) so it may very well be true.
I suppose Carlton could do with making some cash out of Crossroads seen as they spend so much on their two axed versions.
