* {{Blooper}}: ''Crossroads'' was recorded as live, with four or five episodes a week being taped in scene order with minimal or no editing. This led to a fair few fluffs, dries and technical goofs making it through to broadcast, although nowhere near as many as is commonly thought. For the most part it resembles other studio-produced shows of the period, and the surprise is not how much actors got wrong, but how much they got right. However...
** In a 'football pools' episode from the early 1970s, one actor manages simultaneously to fluff her own line and cut in on the next, leading to the following wonderful dialogue:
-->'''DIANE''': Well, if you ask me, I don't think the gods know we exist, I think Lady Luck's gone into retirement! What I want to know is, when do we get woor mink coats an' our villas in the South of France?\\
'''AMY''': An' our villas in the South of France!
** An episode from the early 1970s has a split-screen effect for a phone conversation, with the dividing line uncertainly sliding back and forth throughout.
** A scene on Vera Downend's barge in the mid-1970s has the sound effects (rippling water etc.) suddenly start midway through the scene.
** In the 1975 Christmas episode Jane Rossington collides with an occasional table, and Amy calls her "Jane" instead of the character's name, Jill.
** In a 1980 episode Shughie refers to "certain behaviours of pattern".
** Actor Jane Rossington recalled a toaster catching fire in a scene in the motel kitchen, which had to be incorporated into dialogue, and an actor entering through a fireplace when a door refused to open.
** Actor Tony Adams recalled a phone being answered before it rang.

Wedding Day is no longer a trope.

* WeddingDay: Lots, including five for Jill (one off-screen after the conclusion of the original series). By far the most famous is Meg's wedding to Hugh Mortimer in 1975, with extensive location filming that brought Birmingham city centre to a standstill and filled the streets with cheering fans who had absolutely no reason to be there to see a motel owner marry a businessman. There was even a celebratory song as pop singer Holly Brown (aka Stephanie de Sykes) turned up to perform ''We'll Find Our Day'' at the reception.
