I think "Crossroads" has been mentioned - the scenery that moved - the chef, Mr Booth who had left the series for six months but his arms were still handing a huge steaming saucepan through the serving hatch.


My favourite was there was a lady on the show called Vera, who had an obnoxious brat of a son who would say things like "I'm just working at the motel until I go to University" in a voice a bit like Tony Blair.

In one episode the lad was talking to his mother and I noticed that he had what appeared to be tomato ketchup running down his chin, at which I was a bit baffled. The mother and son then began to argue and this culminated in her slapping him round the face.

The ketchup was supposed to be the blood flowing down his lip caused by the slap but had, in fact, been put on beforehand.
