Episode 1. Opener. Nolly refers to the real-life Noelene Gordon, played by Helena Bonham Carter, the star of the soap opera Crosswords which in its original run, ran between 1964 and 1988. The first episode leads into Nolly infamous sacking from the series. Quite interesting these events and how Nolly reacts to her sacking. A surprising moment when Nolly in a phone conversation with her agent Michael Summerton (Max Brown) remarking that he was once a Dalek. Summerton was indeed an operator of the Daleks in Doctor Who and this is coincidental to the fact that Nolly is written Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies.

Episode 2: Middle episode. With the previous episode seeing Nolly being fired from Crossroads, this episode had her filming her departure as Meg who gets killed off. However more than one ending has been filming and would be determined which one would be used. Fascinating on the filming of Meg's death scene and the angst that comes with Nolly having to do it.

Episode 3: Finale. Overall I found the finale to be less enjoyable than the previous two episode but still not bad. Frustratingly Nolly keeps getting asked by people she comes across of why she got sacked from Crossroads and it was funny when this question got asked by a waitress. On this instance Nolly met with the man who had sacked her and asked the waitress to ask that very question! After trying out some ventures she ultimately comes back to Crossroads in 1983 which was two years before her death in 1985. As well as stating her death the on-screen note states that Crossroads didn't survive without her as it was axed in 1987 and ignores the Crossroads revival in 2001-03.
