To viewers of an ungenerous nature, Crossroads stands as arguably the worst show in the history of British television, at least until the advent of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. Yet despite such derision, the soap drew in millions – and they are now in for a treat of sorts. The earliest (known) surviving episode, from 1965, has been discovered in an old can somewhere in an ITV basement.

Rather than the lunacy of showing it on TV (the revival in 2001 was a disaster), ITV controllers have decided to unveil the episode online, giving it a “world premiere” on itv.com tonight. So for those with long TV memories, does any of the following make sense? Carlos and Josefina row after a disastrous picnic in the Malvern Hills . . . Brian is unhappy when he arrives to take out girlfriend Janice and she’s still not ready . . . and receptionist Christine is jealous when Phillip’s jailbird wife, Doreen, shows up. The drama!

Playing on Current.com, the Emmy-award winning interactive media company led by the now-slightly-fat environmentalist Al Gore, is a powerful “pod” film by Christof Putzel called From Russia with Hate. The documentary looks at the startling growth of neo-Nazism in the country and features Putzel befriending national socialists before infiltrating one of their camps. It’s frightening stuff. We see video clips of immigrants being attacked by skinheads. One poor man gets thrown off a train. In a TV documentary, this material might have to be censored. But Putzel resists using the clips gratuitously and the results make you terrified of the poison currently spreading through Putin’s Russia.

Ronseal websites do exactly what they say on the tin – and they are spreading like wildfire through the interweb. The sole purpose of www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com, for instance, is to teach you how to spell definitely. It’s a perfect way to send a patronising yet helpful message to your illiterate friend.
