Crosswits was a British TV quiz show, originally hosted by Barry Cryer for one series in 1987, then comedian Tom O'Connor took over until the show ended in 1998. Produced by Tyne Tees Television from their City Road studios in Newcastle upon Tyne, the show could most usually be found in the 9.25am slot just after TV-am/GMTV had finished, although in later years it was shown in the early afternoons, at around 1.30pm and, in some regions, the evening.
