<div>A documentary series exploring the literary history of Yorkshire, "Lights on Lit" was pitched and ratified on the 28th January 2013. It aims to investigate the lives and works of our county's most iconic writers and involves filming on location, interviewing experts and examining the texts. It is produced and presented by [[Helen Hobin]]. The opening sequence was made using stop-motion photography in the University Library at 3am, and the theme song was written by Helen and performed by [[Marie Mills]]. Each episode is approximately 25 minutes long. A 10 minute edit of the second episode was entered in the [[NaSTA 2014]] Awards, and won Highly Commended for Best Factual. <br />

<br />
==The Brontës==<br />
<br />
The first episode was made during the Spring Term of 2013 and released at the start of the Easter holidays. It involved a day trip to Haworth to film at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, interview Anne Sutton (the collection manager), and to gather shots from the local graveyard, church and the (freezing cold) moors. Further interviews with academic staff took place on campus over several afternoons. The main theme discussed was the influence of the siblings' juvenilia - their childhood imaginary kingdoms of Angria and Gondal - upon their later works, and the museum allowed us access to wonderful artefacts, including minuscule hand-written plays, watercolours and the pivotal wooden soldier toys. As if the reward of exploring literature itself was not enough, the tea room and the pub were also visited. <br />

<br />
==James Herriot==<br />
<br />
The second episode was filmed during the Summer Term of 2013, and edited/released at the start of the Autumn Term of the next academic year. The team travelled to Thirsk to investigate the home-town, farms and local countryside which inspired the world's most famous vet to write semi-autobiographical novels. We spoke to Rosie Wight, Herriot's daughter, interviewed visitors to the 'World of James Herriot' Museum, and got endearing shots of new-born calves being licked (by the parent cows). The main focus was on what makes a work of fiction endure and become a best-seller, particularly if from a non-academic focus. We also got to film the original recording equipment from the BBC television series 'All Creatures Great and Small', and several clips from old and new adaptations were used in the episode. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==The York Mystery Plays==<br />
<br />
Filmed over two days just after the Three Peaks trip, this episode was pretty tight to turnaround, as the plays are only staged on wagons once every 3-4 years, on two days of the summer. We had previous footage from rehearsals filmed in April/May, and split off during the day, with two DSLR camera ops (Rob Drane and Thomas Cheyney) capturing the crowds and the various plays, and the very unlucky duo of Sam Nicholson and David Heaton having to sound and camera op respectively for what felt like more than 100 takes of each section. This resulted from Helen having only looked at the script she wrote for herself on the day. We interviewed Angie Millard, who produced Jesus's Entry into Jerusalem and Roger Lee, the chairman of the York Festival Trust. We also spoke to Laurence O'Reilly, who played Jesus in Angie's production. Footage from alternative stagings of the plays was used, and new lower thirds were created by Tom. The episode was entered for Best Factual in NaSTA 2015, and came third, with very useful and positive feedback.<br />

[[Category:People|Hobin, Helen]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Helen first encountered YSTV at Fresher's Fair 2012, when she saw a big, shiny camera and a microphone-wielding [[Emma Bew]] (2:03 into the [https://ystv.co.uk/watch/Freshers-2012/Freshers-2012-Montage/ 2012 Freshers Montage]). Having hovered around for a few moments, trying not to look creepy, she eventually asked to be interviewed – mostly in order to get a closer look at what seemed like something straight out of the BBC. She signed up to the email list, but spent most of her first term running around trying out every society she could and subconsciously leaving the best for last. <br />
<br />
During late Autumn Term she signed up to be a camera op and participant (not at the same time) on the critically acclaimed magic show, ‘[[Pushing the Senses]]’. Following the kind encouragement of [[Chris Wall]] and [[Peter Eskdale]], Helen decided that YSTV was something she wanted to be a part of. During the start of the Spring Term, having attended a few station meetings, crewed for ‘[[Monday Evening Live]]’ and participated in various training days, she was beginning to consider the possibility of starting her own show. One night, inspiration struck: whilst thinking about her essay on the Brontës, she suddenly realised that she could combine her love of literature with television – thus, the series ‘[[Lights on Literature]]’ was born. <br />
<br />
She became the [[Assistant Production Director]] on the 15th May 2013 – and very much enjoyed the role, despite its involvement of the term ‘Ass Prod’. Although she did not fulfill [[Christopher Parker|Chris Parker]]’s requests to fetch him a coffee, she learnt a lot from being involved with the committee and the station’s overall production department. She produced her first live show in November 2013, YSTV’s annual broadcast of ‘[[Children in Need 2013]]’ - an experience definitely worth the late nights.<br />
<br />
In the Autumn term by-elections of 2013, she was elected [[Production Director]], happy in the knowledge that YSTV will always be her real home while at university. (Although of course she has never slept in the studio...) Highlights during the year include helping [[Kieron Moore]] to organise/edit NaSTA submissions and Best Broadcaster 2014, running a series of edit training sessions, organising a trip for YSTV members to see Countdown being filmed at MediaCity and nicking old set from TFTV, amid many other adventures.<br />
<br />
In the Summer elections of 2014 she became the [[Station Director]] of YSTV, following the very kind encouragement of a terrific bunch of friends, and so far hasn't burned the place down. <br />
<br />
For an unknown reason, Helen is fairly notorious when it comes to socials/nights out, and the day following an event her words may be found all over the [[Quotes board|Quotes Board]]. She is reported to have been kicked out of the Willow several times, and would probably be embarrassed to have it known that this was for the - perfectly understandable - activity of napping. Following the consumption of alcohol she is more active in literally prodding people, and has a penchant for arm-wrestling. She is an avid fan of hit show ‘[[Bargain Mad]]’.<br />

The team travelled to Thirsk to investigate the home-town, farms and local countryside which inspired the world's most famous vet to write semi-autobiographical novels. We spoke to Rosie Wight, Herriot's daughter, interviewed visitors to the 'World of James Herriot' Museum, and got endearing shots of new-born calves being licked (by the parent cows). The main focus was on what makes a work of fiction endure and become a best-seller, particularly if from a non-academic focus. We also got to film the original recording equipment from the BBC television series 'All Creatures Great and Small', and several clips from old and new adaptations were used in the episode. <br />

<br />
The first episode was made during the Spring Term of 2013 and released at the start of the Easter holidays. It involved a day trip to Haworth to film at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, interview Anne Sutton (the collection manager), and to gather shots from the local graveyard, church and the (freezing cold) moors. Further interviews with academic staff took place on campus over several afternoons. The main theme discussed was the influence of the siblings' juvenilia - their childhood imaginary kingdoms of Angria and Gondal - upon their later works, and the museum allowed us access to wonderful artefacts, including minuscule hand-written plays, watercolours and the pivotal wooden soldier toys. As if the reward of exploring literature itself was not enough, the tea room and the pub were also visited. <br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:P1150491.JPG|thumb|300px|Survivor Photo]]<br />
The live show took place on Saturday 16th November, running for 2 hours. It was produced by [[Helen Hobin]], directed by [[Sam Nicholson]], and presented by [[Grace Winpenny]] and [[Matt Judge]]. Involving a range of live music acts, presenter challenges and VTs, the show - combined with [[Chris Wall]] and [[Helen Hobin]]'s pledge to wear Pudsey onesies for 7 days straight - raised £608. <br />
<br />
=The Live Show=<br />
<br />
==Live Music==<br />
<br />
The first act was Stewart Crank, on vocals and guitar, who played a range of songs including 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by the Beatles. Next was Thea Maxwell, playing her own songs, also on vocals and guitar. Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'. <br />
<br />
==Presenter Challenges==<br />
<br />
The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another famous animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />
<br />
[[File:P1150466.JPG|thumb|200px|left|Preparing the presenters]]<br />
<br />
==Other Acts & Interviews==<br />
<br />
Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue. <br />
<br />
[[File:P1150136.JPG|thumb|200|The Control Room gets ready]]<br />
<br />
=VTs=<br />
<br />
* ''Pudsey 007'': The first VT showed Pudsey arriving from the bus at library bridge, and making his way across campus, James Bond style. Filmed and produced by Helen and Charlotte Bennington, using original music composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
* ''Mr & Mrs Pudsey'': This endearingly romantic video showed Chris and Helen mucking around in their Pudsey onesies, including shopping for honey <br />
in Costcutter, dancing atop Central Hall and playing a terrible game of tennis - beautifully filmed by [[Tim Copeland]]. <br />
<br />
* ''BrassNeck Sax Quartet'': A music performance by Grace's quartet - Soprano: Katie Wood, Alto: Grace Winpenny, Tenor: Sam Johnson, Baritone: Nick Jones. <br />
<br />
* ''Gabrielle Aplin'': Matt Judge got an exclusive interview with this wonderful singer-songwriter, talking about everything from her progress in the music industry to toothbrushes.<br />
<br />
* ''How to Train Your Teddy'': English Literature Lecturer Jonathan Brockbank kindly agreed to deliver an onslaught of bear-themed puns in a seminar room full of teddy bears - an insight into the inner thoughts of students.<br />
<br />
* ''The Hostage Situation'': Cutting straight into this VT from the previous one (due to technical issues during the live show, remedied by creative editing) we find [[Lloyd Wallis]] and Pudsey gaffer-taped and under a spotlight, desperately in need of £50 to save them. Narrated by the epic voice of [[Greg Ebdon]], Menagerie Man, played by [[Dominic Matthews]], steps up to save the day in this extremely bizarre story.<br />
<br />
* ''BNOC Flashmob Teaser'': A glimpse into the effort that went into the next VT...<br />
<br />
[[File:993797 3712765754294 1819925343 n.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Georgia Woodroffe]] filming the Teddy Bear's Picnic VT]]<br />
<br />
* ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.<br />
<br />
* ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Georgia Woodroffe]] and Helen, and given voiceovers by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon. [[Tom Woffenden]] sang an original recording of the 'Teddy Bear's Pinic' song, for which an altered version of the music was composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
* ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'. <br />
<br />
* ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. Filmed by Tim Copeland.<br />
<br />
=Producer's Notes=<br />
<br />
This section is intended to help future producers of Children in Need by giving a run-down of what went well and what went slightly less well.<br />
<br />
==The Good== <br />
<br />
* The set and props were thought through quite far in advance, allowing for balloons, bunting and badges galore, and the white boards were nicely repainted during the afternoon of the show, covering any scratch marks etc. <br />
<br />
* Many new faces were involved in the live show and the production of VTs, which is lovely, as CiN is intended to be a nice first show for freshers/new-comers.<br />
<br />
* Presenters Matt and Grace and director Sam Nicholson did a wonderful job of keeping everything smooth and calm, despite the ever-changing running order and a few technical melt-downs.<br />
<br />
* The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'.<br />
<br />
* It was in HD, which (despite MEL beating us to the broadcast) led to many screen-strokings and happy glances.<br />
<br />
* There was a strong range of VTs, from music and kidnapping to cooking and picnics, and we were really pleased to be able to show where the donations go, by interviewing the director of 'Acting Up'. <br />
<br />
* We raised £608 and, despite a few tense moments on the night, generally had a wonderful time! <br />
<br />
[[File:2013-11-13 17.07.00.jpg|thumb|200px|Mr and Mrs Pudsey hard at work]]<br />
<br />
==The Bad==<br />
<br />
* Helen and a wonderful crew of helpers ([[Chris Wall|Chris]], [[Kieron Moore|Kieron]], [[Matt Johnson|Matt]]) may have still been editing a few VTs whilst the show went on...sorry! (Will try not to succumb to sleep again).<br />
<br />
* In the immortal words of [[Sam Nicholson]]: "The VT server was a pile of sh*t and was re-written over Christmas".<br />
<br />
* It was ever so warm in the studio.<br />
<br />
* More thought should have been given (by Helen) into the presenter challenges - whilst they were quite interesting in theory, we forgot to set a time limit - perhaps some exciting background music should be used to prevent silences whilst the presenters work, though Grace did a good job of humming instead.<br />
<br />
* Edit 1 melted. We actually had to put a real fan next to it.<br />
<br />

The BBC wrote a paragraph about our efforts on their [http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/childreninneed/posts/Looking-back-at-our-fundraising-heroes Children in Need BBC Blog]: "That's a crazy amount of stuff going on for a good cause, we’re sure you’ll agree - and there's more! The awesome students at York Student Television (YSTV), York University’s very own campus TV channel, put together a great BBC Children in Need-themed broadcast featuring all the characteristics of the charity’s annual Appeal show and giving them a distinct York University twist. Two students, Grace and Matt, presented the show which featured live music, onesie mayhem, broken eggs and funny sketches! You can check out the show [https://ystv.co.uk/watch/Children-in-Need/2013/liveshow/= here], and of course, a huge thank you to all at YSTV for going to such a huge effort to raise money!" <br />

Narrated by the epic voice of [[Greg Ebdon]], Menagerie Man, played by [[Dominic Matthews]], steps up to save the day in this extremely bizarre story.<br />
<br />
* ''BNOC Flashmob Teaser'': A glimpse into the effort that went into the next VT...<br />

<br />
* ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.<br />
<br />
* ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Georgia Woodroffe]] and Helen, and given voiceovers by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon. [[Tom Woffenden]] sang an original recording of the 'Teddy Bear's Pinic' song, for which an altered version of the music was composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
* ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'. <br />
<br />
* ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. Filmed by Tim Copeland.<br />

<br />
This section is intended to help future producers of Children in Need by giving a run-down of what went well and what went slightly less well.<br />
<br />
==The Good== <br />
<br />
* The set and props were thought through quite far in advance, allowing for balloons, bunting and badges galore, and the white boards were nicely repainted during the afternoon of the show, covering any scratch marks etc. <br />
<br />
* Many new faces were involved in the live show and the production of VTs, which is lovely, as CiN is intended to be a nice first show for freshers/new-comers.<br />
<br />
* Presenters Matt and Grace and director Sam Nicholson did a wonderful job of keeping everything smooth and calm, despite the ever-changing running order and a few technical melt-downs.<br />
<br />
* The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'.<br />
<br />
* It was in HD, which (despite MEL beating us to the broadcast) led to many screen-strokings and happy glances.<br />
<br />
* There was a strong range of VTs, from music and kidnapping to cooking and picnics, and we were really pleased to be able to show where the donations go, by interviewing the director of 'Acting Up'. <br />
<br />
* We raised £608 and, despite a few tense moments on the night, generally had a wonderful time! <br />
<br />

<br />
==The Bad==<br />
<br />
* Helen and a wonderful crew of helpers ([[Chris Wall|Chris]], [[Kieron Moore|Kieron]], [[Matt Johnson|Matt]]) may have still been editing a few VTs whilst the show went on...sorry! (Will try not to succumb to sleep again).<br />
<br />
* In the immortal words of [[Sam Nicholson]]: "The VT server was a pile of sh*t and was re-written over Christmas".<br />
<br />
* It was ever so warm in the studio.<br />
<br />
* More thought should have been given (by Helen) into the presenter challenges - whilst they were quite interesting in theory, we forgot to set a time limit - perhaps some exciting background music should be used to prevent silences whilst the presenters work, though Grace did a good job of humming instead.<br />
<br />
* Edit 1 melted. We actually had to put a real fan next to it.<br />

The live show took place on Saturday 16th November, running for 2 hours. It was produced by [[Helen Hobin]], directed by [[Sam Nicholson]], and presented by [[Grace Winpenny]] and [[Matt Judge]]. Involving a range of live music acts, presenter challenges and VTs, the show - combined with [[Chris Wall]] and [[Helen Hobin]]'s pledge to wear Pudsey onesies for 7 days straight - raised £608. <br />
<br />
=The Live Show=<br />
<br />
==Live Music==<br />
<br />
The first act was Stewart Crank, on vocals and guitar, who played a range of songs including 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by the Beatles. Next was Thea Maxwell, playing her own songs, also on vocals and guitar. Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'. <br />
<br />
==Presenter Challenges==<br />
<br />
The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another famous animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />
<br />
[[File:P1150466.JPG|thumb|200px|left|Preparing the presenters]]<br />
<br />
==Other Acts & Interviews==<br />
<br />
Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue. <br />
<br />
[[File:P1150136.JPG|thumb|200|The Control Room gets ready]]<br />
<br />
=VTs=<br />
<br />
* ''Pudsey 007'': The first VT showed Pudsey arriving from the bus at library bridge, and making his way across campus, James Bond style. Filmed and produced by Helen and Charlotte Bennington, using original music composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
* ''Mr & Mrs Pudsey'': This rather soppy video showed Chris and Helen mucking around in their Pudsey onesies, including shopping for honey <br />
in Costcutter, dancing atop Central Hall and playing a terrible game of tennis - beautifully filmed by [[Tim Copeland]]. <br />
<br />
* ''BrassNeck Sax Quartet'': A music performance by Grace's quartet - Soprano: Katie Wood, Alto: Grace Winpenny, Tenor: Sam Johnson, Baritone: Nick Jones. <br />
<br />
* ''Gabrielle Aplin'': Matt Judge got an exclusive interview with this wonderful singer-songwriter, talking about everything from her progress in the music industry to toothbrushes.<br />
<br />
* ''How to Train Your Teddy'': English Literature Lecturer Jonathan Brockbank kindly agreed to deliver an onslaught of bear-themed puns in a seminar room full of teddy bears - an insight into the inner thoughts of students.<br />
<br />
* ''The Hostage Situation'': Cutting straight into this VT from the previous one (due to technical issues during the live show, remedied by creative editing) we find [[Lloyd Wallis]] and Pudsey gaffer-taped and under a spotlight, desperately in need of £50 to save them.

* More thought should have been given (by Helen) into the presenter challenges - whilst they were quite interesting in theory, we forgot to set a time limit - perhaps some exciting background music should be used to prevent silences whilst the presenters work, though Grace did a good job of humming instead.<br />

The live show took place on Saturday 16th November, running for 2 hours. It was produced by [[Helen Hobin]], directed by [[Sam Nicholson]], and presented by [[Grace Winpenny]] and [[Matt Judge]]. Involving a range of live music acts, presenter challenges and VTs, the show - combined with [[Chris Wall]] and [[Helen Hobin]]'s pledge to wear Pudsey onesies for 7 days straight - raised £608. <br />
<br />
=The Live Show=<br />
<br />
==Live Music==<br />
<br />
The first act was Stewart Crank, on vocals and guitar, who played a range of songs including 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by the Beatles. Next was Thea Maxwell, playing her own songs, also on vocals and guitar. Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'. <br />
<br />
==Presenter Challenges==<br />
<br />
The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another famous animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />
<br />
[[File:P1150466.JPG|thumb|200px|left|Preparing the presenters]]<br />
<br />
==Other Acts & Interviews==<br />
<br />
Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue. <br />
<br />
[[File:P1150136.JPG|thumb|200|The Control Room gets ready]]<br />
<br />
=VTs=<br />
<br />
* ''Pudsey 007'': The first VT showed Pudsey arriving from the bus at library bridge, and making his way across campus, James Bond style. Filmed and produced by Helen and Charlotte Bennington, using original music composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
* ''Mr & Mrs Pudsey'': This rather soppy video showed Chris and Helen mucking around in their Pudsey onesies, including shopping for honey <br />
in Costcutter, dancing atop Central Hall and playing a terrible game of tennis - beautifully filmed by [[Tim Copeland]]. <br />
<br />
* ''BrassNeck Sax Quartet'': A music performance by Grace's quartet - Soprano: Katie Wood, Alto: Grace Winpenny, Tenor: Sam Johnson, Baritone: Nick Jones. <br />
<br />
* ''Gabrielle Aplin'': Matt Judge got an exclusive interview with this wonderful singer-songwriter, talking about everything from her progress in the music industry to toothbrushes.<br />
<br />
* ''How to Train Your Teddy'': English Literature Lecturer Jonathan Brockbank kindly agreed to deliver an onslaught of bear-themed puns in a seminar room full of teddy bears - an insight into the inner thoughts of students.<br />
<br />
* ''The Hostage Situation'': Cutting straight into this VT from the previous one (due to technical issues during the live show, remedied by creative editing) we find [[Lloyd Wallis]] and Pudsey gaffer-taped and under a spotlight, desperately in need of £50 to save them. Narrated by the epic voice of [[Greg Ebdon]], Menagerie Man, played by [[Dominic Matthews]], steps up to save the day in this extremely bizarre story.<br />
<br />
* ''BNOC Flashmob Teaser'': A glimpse into the effort that went into the next VT...<br />
<br />
[[File:993797 3712765754294 1819925343 n.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Georgia Woodruffe]] filming the Teddy Bear's Picnic VT]]<br />
<br />
* ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.<br />
<br />
* ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Georgia Woodruffe]] and Helen, and given voiceovers by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon. [[Tom Woffenden]] sang an original recording of the 'Teddy Bear's Pinic' song, for which an altered version of the music was composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
* ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'. <br />
<br />
* ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. Filmed by Tim Copeland.<br />
<br />
=Producer's Notes=<br />
<br />
This section is intended to help future producers of Children in Need by giving a run-down of what went well and what went slightly less well.<br />
<br />
==The Good== <br />
<br />
* The set and props were thought through quite far in advance, allowing for balloons, bunting and badges galore, and the white boards were nicely repainted during the afternoon of the show, covering any scratch marks etc. <br />
<br />
* Many new faces were involved in the live show and the production of VTs, which is lovely, as CiN is intended to be a nice first show for freshers/new-comers.<br />
<br />
* Presenters Matt and Grace and director Sam Nicholson did a wonderful job of keeping everything smooth and calm, despite the ever-changing running order and a few technical melt-downs.<br />
<br />
* The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'.<br />
<br />
* It was in HD, which (despite MEL beating us to the broadcast) led to many screen-strokings and happy glances.<br />
<br />
* There was a strong range of VTs, from music and kidnapping to cooking and picnics, and we were really pleased to be able to show where the donations go, by interviewing the director of 'Acting Up'. <br />
<br />
* We raised £608 and, despite a few tense moments on the night, generally had a wonderful time! <br />
<br />
[[File:2013-11-13 17.07.00.jpg|thumb|200px|Mr and Mrs Pudsey hard at work]]<br />
<br />
==The Bad==<br />
<br />
* Helen and a wonderful crew of helpers ([[Chris Wall|Chris]], [[Kieron Moore|Kieron]], [[Matt Johnson|Matt]]) may have still been editing a few VTs whilst the show went on...sorry! (Will try not to succumb to sleep again).<br />
<br />
* In the immortal words of [[Sam Nicholson]]: "The VT server was a pile of sh*t and was re-written over Christmas".<br />
<br />
* It was ever so warm in the studio.<br />
<br />
* More thought should have been given (by Helen) into the presenter challenges - whilst they were quite interesting in theory, we forgot to set a time limit - perhaps some exciting background music should be used to prevent silences whilst the presenters work, though Grace did a good job of humming instead.<br />
<br />

Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'. <br />
<br />
==Presenter Challenges==<br />
<br />
The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another famous animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />

<br />
==Other Acts & Interviews==<br />
<br />
Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue. <br />

<br />
=VTs=<br />
<br />
* ''Pudsey 007'': The first VT showed Pudsey arriving from the bus at library bridge, and making his way across campus, James Bond style. Filmed and produced by Helen and Charlotte Bennington, using original music composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
* ''Mr & Mrs Pudsey'': This rather soppy video showed Chris and Helen mucking around in their Pudsey onesies, including shopping for honey <br />
in Costcutter, dancing atop Central Hall and playing a terrible game of tennis - beautifully filmed by [[Tim Copeland]]. <br />
<br />
* ''BrassNeck Sax Quartet'': A music performance by Grace's quartet - Soprano: Katie Wood, Alto: Grace Winpenny, Tenor: Sam Johnson, Baritone: Nick Jones. <br />
<br />
* ''Gabrielle Aplin'': Matt Judge got an exclusive interview with this wonderful singer-songwriter, talking about everything from her progress in the music industry to toothbrushes.<br />
<br />
* ''How to Train Your Teddy'': English Literature Lecturer Jonathan Brockbank kindly agreed to deliver an onslaught of bear-themed puns in a seminar room full of teddy bears - an insight into the inner thoughts of students.<br />
<br />
* ''The Hostage Situation'': Cutting straight into this VT from the previous one (due to technical issues during the live show, remedied by creative editing) we find [[Lloyd Wallis]] and Pudsey gaffer-taped and under a spotlight, desperately in need of £50 to save them. Narrated by the epic voice of [[Greg Ebdon]], Menagerie Man, played by [[Dominic Matthews]], steps up to save the day in this extremely bizarre story.<br />
<br />
* ''BNOC Flashmob Teaser'': A glimpse into the effort that went into the next VT...<br />

[[File:993797 3712765754294 1819925343 n.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Filming the Teddy Bear's Picnic VT]]<br />
<br />
* ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.<br />
<br />
* ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Ellen Dunbavin]] and Helen, and voiced by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon.<br />
<br />
* ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'. <br />
<br />
* ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. Filmed by Tim Copeland.<br />
<br />
=Producer's Notes=<br />
<br />
This section is intended to help future producers of Children in Need by giving a run-down of what went well and what went slightly less well.<br />
<br />
==The Good== <br />
<br />
* The set and props were thought through quite far in advance, allowing for balloons, bunting and badges galore, and the white boards were nicely repainted during the afternoon of the show, covering any scratch marks etc. <br />
<br />
* Many new faces were involved in the live show and the production of VTs, which is lovely, as CiN is intended to be a nice first show for freshers/new-comers.<br />
<br />
* Presenters Matt and Grace and director Sam Nicholson did a wonderful job of keeping everything smooth and calm, despite the ever-changing running order and a few technical melt-downs.<br />
<br />
* The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'.<br />
<br />
* It was in HD, which (despite MEL beating us to the broadcast) led to many screen-strokings and happy glances.<br />
<br />
* There was a strong range of VTs, from music and kidnapping to cooking and picnics, and we were really pleased to be able to show where the donations go, by interviewing the director of 'Acting Up'. <br />
<br />
* We raised £608 and, despite a few tense moments on the night, generally had a wonderful time! <br />
<br />
[[File:2013-11-13 17.07.00.jpg|thumb|200px|Mr and Mrs Pudsey hard at work]]<br />
<br />
==The Bad==<br />
<br />
* Helen and a wonderful crew of helpers ([[Chris Wall|Chris]], [[Kieron Moore|Kieron]], [[Matt Johnson|Matt]]) may have still been editing a few VTs whilst the show went on...sorry! (Will try not to succumb to sleep again).<br />
<br />
* In the immortal words of [[Sam Nicholson]]: "The VT server was a pile of sh*t and was re-written over Christmas".<br />
<br />
* It was ever so warm in the studio.<br />
<br />
* More thought should have been given (by Helen) into the presenter challenges - whilst they were quite interesting in theory, we forgot to set a time limit - perhaps some exciting background music should be used to prevent silences whilst the presenters work, though Grace did a good job of humming instead.<br />
<br />
* Edit 1 melted. We actually had to put a real fan next to it.<br />

The BBC wrote a paragraph about our efforts on their [http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/childreninneed/posts/Looking-back-at-our-fundraising-heroes Children in Need BBC Blog]: "That's a crazy amount of stuff going on for a good cause, we’re sure you’ll agree - and there's more! The awesome students at York Student Television (YSTV), York University’s very own campus TV channel, put together a great BBC Children in Need-themed broadcast featuring all the characteristics of the charity’s annual Appeal show and giving them a distinct York University twist. Two students, Grace and Matt, presented the show which featured live music, onesie mayhem, broken eggs and funny sketches! You can check out the show here, and of course, a huge thank you to all at YSTV for going to such a huge effort to raise money!" <br />

The live show took place on Saturday 16th November, running for 2 hours. It was produced by [[Helen Hobin]], directed by [[Sam Nicholson]], and presented by [[Grace Winpenny]] and [[Matt Judge]]. Involving a range of live music acts, presenter challenges and VTs, the show - combined with [[Chris Wall]] and [[Helen Hobin]]'s pledge to wear Pudsey onesies for 7 days straight - raised £608. <br />
<br />
=The Live Show=<br />
<br />
==Live Music==<br />
<br />
The first act was Stewart Crank, on vocals and guitar, who played a range of songs including 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by the Beatles.

Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'. <br />

Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie.

<br />
* The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'.<br />

<br />
* We raised £608 and, despite a few tense moments on the night, generally had a wonderful time! <br />

The live show took place on Saturday 16th November, running for 2 hours. It was produced by [[Helen Hobin]], directed by [[Sam Nicholson]], and presented by [[Grace Winpenny]] and [[Matt Judge]]. Involving a range of live music acts, presenter challenges and VTs, the show - combined with [[Chris Wall]] and [[Helen Hobin]]'s pledge to wear Pudsey onesies for 7 days straight - raised £608. <br />
<br />
=The Live Show=<br />
<br />
==Live Music==<br />
<br />
The first act was Stewart Crank, on vocals and guitar, who played a range of songs including 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by the Beatles. Next was Thea Maxwell, playing her own songs, also on vocals and guitar. Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'. <br />
<br />
==Presenter Challenges==<br />
<br />
The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another famous animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />
<br />
[[File:P1150466.JPG|thumb|200px|left|Preparing the presenters]]<br />
<br />
==Other Acts & Interviews==<br />
<br />
Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue. <br />
<br />
[[File:P1150136.JPG|thumb|200|The Control Room gets ready]]<br />
<br />
=VTs=<br />
<br />
* ''Pudsey 007'': The first VT showed Pudsey arriving from the bus at library bridge, and making his way across campus, James Bond style. Filmed and produced by Helen and Charlotte Bennington, using original music composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
* ''Mr & Mrs Pudsey'': This rather soppy video showed Chris and Helen mucking around in their Pudsey onesies, including shopping for honey <br />
in Costcutter, dancing atop Central Hall and playing a terrible game of tennis - beautifully filmed by [[Tim Copeland]]. <br />
<br />
* ''BrassNeck Sax Quartet'': A music performance by Grace's quartet - Soprano: Katie Wood, Alto: Grace Winpenny, Tenor: Sam Johnson, Baritone: Nick Jones. <br />
<br />
* ''Gabrielle Aplin'': Matt Judge got an exclusive interview with this wonderful singer-songwriter, talking about everything from her progress in the music industries to toothbrushes.<br />
<br />
* ''How to Train Your Teddy'': English Literature Lecturer Jonathan Brockbank kindly agreed to deliver an onslaught of bear-themed puns in a seminar room full of teddy bears - an insight into the inner thoughts of students.<br />
<br />
* ''The Hostage Situation'': Cutting straight into this VT from the previous one (due to technical issues during the live show, remedied by creative editing) we find [[Lloyd Wallis]] and Pudsey gaffer-taped and under a spotlight, desperately in need of £50 to save them. Narrated by the epic voice of [[Greg Ebdon]], Menagerie Man, played by [[Dominic Matthews]], steps up to save the day in this extremely bizarre story.<br />
<br />
* ''BNOC Flashmob Teaser'': A glimpse into the effort that went into the next VT...<br />
<br />
[[File:993797 3712765754294 1819925343 n.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Filming the Teddy Bear's Picnic VT]]<br />
<br />
* ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.<br />
<br />
* ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Ellen Dunbavin]] and Helen, and voiced by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon.<br />
<br />
* ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'. <br />
<br />
* ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. Filmed by Tim Copeland.<br />

[[Category:People|Hobin, Helen]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Helen first encountered YSTV at Fresher's Fair 2012, when she saw a big, shiny camera and a microphone-wielding [[Emma Bew]] (2:03 into the [https://ystv.co.uk/watch/Freshers-2012/Freshers-2012-Montage/ 2012 Freshers Montage]). Having hovered around for a few moments, trying not to look creepy, she eventually asked to be interviewed – mostly in order to get a closer look at what seemed like something straight out of the BBC. She signed up to the email list, but spent most of her first term running around trying out every society she could and subconsciously leaving the best for last. <br />
<br />
During late Autumn Term she signed up to be a camera op and participant (not at the same time) on the critically acclaimed magic show, ‘[[Pushing the Senses]]’. Following the kind encouragement of [[Chris Wall]] and [[Peter Eskdale]], Helen decided that YSTV was something she wanted to be a part of. During the start of the Spring Term, having attended a few station meetings, crewed for ‘[[Monday Evening Live]]’ and participated in various training days, she was beginning to consider the possibility of starting her own show. One night, inspiration struck: whilst thinking about her essay on the Brontës, she suddenly realised that she could combine her love of literature with television – thus, the series ‘[[Lights on Literature]]’ was born. <br />
<br />
On the 28th January 2013, Helen nervously pitched her idea of a programme about the literary world of Yorkshire, and the show was voted in. Thanks to the help of pretty much every member of YSTV, she learnt a huge amount when making her first episode about the Brontës – from the bus timetables of Haworth, to the importance of colour-balancing, and from the necessity of gloves whilst trekking across moors in January, to the fun that can be had working alongside a wonderful crew – in this case, Harriet Myzak-Douglas and Antonia Callan. She had further splendid adventures with Antonia, Anya Diaz Cebreiro and [[Christopher Parker|Chris Parker]] when filming the second episode about James Herriot and interviewing his daughter, Rosie, in the Summer Term of her first year. <br />
<br />
She gained the position of [[Assistant Production Director]] on the 15th May 2013 – a role which she really enjoyed, despite its involvement of the term ‘Ass Prod’. Although she did not fulfill [[Christopher Parker|Chris Parker]]’s requests to fetch him a coffee, she learnt a lot from being involved with the committee and the station’s overall production department. She produced her first live show in November 2013, YSTV’s annual broadcast of ‘[[Children in Need 2013]]’, which has provided very valuable experiences of organising a team, making decisions, and sending out twice the usual amount of emails. It was a wonderful learning curve, and definitely worth the late nights.<br />
<br />
For an unknown reason, Helen is fairly notorious when it comes to socials/nights out, and the day following an event her words may be found all over the [[Quotes board|Quotes Board]]. She is reported to have been kicked out of the Willow several times, and would probably be embarrassed to have it known that this was for the - perfectly understandable - activity of napping. Following the consumption of alcohol she is more active in literally prodding people, and has a penchant for arm-wrestling. She is an avid fan of hit show ‘[[Bargain Mad]]’.<br />
<br />
In the Autumn term bi-elections of 2013, she was elected [[Production Director]] and is happy in the knowledge that YSTV is her real home while at university. (Although of course she has never slept in the studio...)</div>Helen.hobinhttps://wiki.ystv.co.uk/index.php?title=Children_In_Need_2013&diff=8491Children In Need 20132014-01-10T22:28:34Z<p>Helen.hobin: </p>

The live show took place on Saturday 16th November, running for 2 hours. It was produced by [[Helen Hobin]], directed by [[Sam Nicholson]], and presented by [[Grace Winpenny]] and [[Matt Judge]]. Involving a range of live music acts, presenter challenges and VTs, the show - combined with [[Chris Wall]] and [[Helen Hobin]]'s pledge to wear Pudsey onesies for 7 days straight - raised £608. <br />
<br />
=The Live Show=<br />
<br />
==Live Music==<br />
<br />
The first act was Stewart Crank, on vocals and guitar, who played a range of songs including 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by the Beatles. Next was Thea Maxwell, playing her own songs, also on vocals and guitar. Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'. <br />
<br />
==Presenter Challenges==<br />
<br />
The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another iconic animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />
<br />
[[File:P1150466.JPG|thumb|200px|left|Preparing the presenters]]<br />
<br />
==Other Acts & Interviews==<br />
<br />
Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue. <br />
<br />
[[File:P1150136.JPG|thumb|200|The Control Room gets ready]]<br />
<br />
=VTs=<br />
<br />
- ''Pudsey 007'': The first VT showed Pudsey arriving from the bus at library bridge, and making his way across campus, James Bond style. Filmed and produced by Helen and Charlotte Bennington, using original music composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
- ''Mr & Mrs Pudsey'': This rather soppy video showed Chris and Helen mucking around in their Pudsey onesies, including shopping for honey <br />
in Costcutter, dancing atop Central Hall and playing a terrible game of tennis - beautifully filmed by [[Tim Copeland]]. <br />
<br />
- ''BrassNeck Sax Quartet'': A music performance by Grace's quartet - Soprano: Katie Wood, Alto: Grace Winpenny, Tenor: Sam Johnson, Baritone: Nick Jones. <br />
<br />
- ''Gabrielle Aplin'': Matt Judge got an exclusive interview with this wonderful singer-songwriter, talking about everything from her progress in the music industries to toothbrushes.<br />
<br />
- ''How to Train Your Teddy'': English Literature Lecturer Jonathan Brockbank kindly agreed to deliver an onslaught of bear-themed puns in a seminar room full of teddy bears - an insight into the inner thoughts of students.<br />
<br />
- ''The Hostage Situation'': Cutting straight into this VT from the previous one (due to technical issues during the live show, remedied by creative editing) we find [[Lloyd Wallis]] and Pudsey gaffer-taped and under a spotlight, desperately in need of £50 to save them. Narrated by the epic voice of [[Greg Ebdon]], Menagerie Man, played by [[Dominic Matthews]], steps up to save the day in this extremely bizarre story.<br />
<br />
- ''BNOC Flashmob Teaser'': A glimpse into the effort that went into the next VT...<br />
<br />
[[File:993797 3712765754294 1819925343 n.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Filming the Teddy Bear's Picnic VT]]<br />
<br />
- ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.<br />
<br />
- ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Ellen Dunbavin]] and Helen, and voiced by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon.<br />
<br />
- ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'. <br />
<br />
- ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. Filmed by Tim Copeland.<br />
<br />
=Producer's Notes=<br />
<br />
This section is intended to help future producers of Children in Need by giving a run-down of what went well and what went slightly less well.<br />
<br />
==The Good== <br />
<br />
- The set and props were thought through quite far in advance, allowing for balloons, bunting and badges galore, and the white boards were nicely repainted during the afternoon of the show, covering any scratch marks etc. <br />
<br />
- Many new faces were involved in the live show and the production of VTs, which is lovely, as CiN is intended to be a nice first show for freshers/new-comers.<br />
<br />
- Presenters Matt and Grace and director Sam Nicholson did a wonderful job of keeping everything smooth and calm, despite the ever-changing running order and a few technical melt-downs.<br />
<br />
- The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'.<br />
<br />
- It was in HD, which (despite MEL beating us to the broadcast) led to many screen-strokings and happy glances.<br />
<br />
- There was a strong range of VTs, from music and kidnapping to cooking and picnics, and a particular highlight was being able to see where the donations go by interviewing the director of 'Acting Up'. <br />
<br />
- We raised £608 and, despite a few tense moments on the night, generally had a wonderful time! <br />
<br />
[[File:2013-11-13 17.07.00.jpg|thumb|200px|Mr and Mrs Pudsey hard at work]]<br />
<br />
==The Bad==<br />
<br />
- Helen and a wonderful crew of helpers ([[Chris Wall|Chris]], [[Kieron Moore|Kieron]], [[Matt Johnson|Matt]]) may have still been editing a few VTs whilst the show went on...sorry! (Will try not to succumb to sleep again).<br />
<br />
- In the immortal words of [[Sam Nicholson]]: "The VT server was a pile of sh*t and was re-written over Christmas".<br />
<br />
- It was ever so warm in the studio.<br />
<br />
- More thought should have been given (by Helen) into the presenter challenges - whilst they were quite interesting in theory, we forgot to set a time limit - perhaps some exciting background music should be used to prevent silences whilst the presenters work, though Grace did a good job of humming instead.<br />
<br />
- Edit 1 melted. We actually had to put a real fan next to it.<br />

The BBC wrote a paragraph about our efforts on their [http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/childreninneed/posts/Looking-back-at-our-fundraising-heroes Children in Need BBC Blog]: "That's a crazy amount of stuff going on for a good cause, we’re sure you’ll agree - and there's more! The awesome students at York Student Television (YSTV), York University’s very own campus TV channel, put together a great BBC Children in Need-themed broadcast featuring all the characteristics of the charity’s annual Appeal show and giving them a distinct York University twist. Two students, Grace and Matt, presented the show which featured live music, onesie mayhem, broken eggs and funny sketches! You can check out the show here, and of course, a huge thank you to all at YSTV for going to such a huge effort to raise money!" <br />

The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another iconic animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />

Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue. <br />

Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'. <br />
<br />
- ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. Filmed by Tim Copeland.<br />

<br />
- The set and props were thought through quite far in advance, allowing for balloons, bunting and badges galore, and the white boards were nicely repainted during the afternoon of the show, covering any scratch marks etc. <br />
<br />
- Many new faces were involved in the live show and the production of VTs, which is lovely, as CiN is intended to be a nice first show for freshers/new-comers.<br />
<br />
- Presenters Matt and Grace and director Sam Nicholson did a wonderful job of keeping everything smooth and calm, despite the ever-changing running order and a few technical melt-downs.<br />
<br />
- The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'.<br />
<br />
- It was in HD, which (despite MEL beating us to the broadcast) led to many screen-strokings and happy glances.<br />
<br />
- There was a strong range of VTs, from music and kidnapping to cooking and picnics, and a particular highlight was being able to see where the donations go by interviewing the director of 'Acting Up'. <br />
<br />
- We raised £608 and, despite a few tense moments on the night, generally had a wonderful time! <br />

The live show took place on Saturday 16th November, running for 2 hours. It was produced by [[Helen Hobin]], directed by [[Sam Nicholson]], and presented by [[Grace Winpenny]] and [[Matt Judge]]. Involving a range of live music acts, presenter challenges and VTs, the show - combined with [[Chris Wall]] and [[Helen Hobin]]'s pledge to wear Pudsey onesies for 7 days straight - raised £608. <br />
<br />
=The Live Show=<br />
<br />
==Live Music==<br />
<br />
The first act was Stewart Crank, on vocals and guitar, who played a range of songs including 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by the Beatles. Next was Thea Maxwell, playing her own songs, also on vocals and guitar. Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'. <br />
<br />
==Presenter Challenges==<br />
<br />
The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another iconic animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />
<br />
[[File:P1150466.JPG|thumb|200px|left|Preparing the presenters]]<br />
<br />
==Other Acts & Interviews==<br />
<br />
Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue. <br />
<br />
[[File:P1150136.JPG|thumb|200|The Control Room gets ready]]<br />
<br />
=VTs=<br />
<br />
- ''Pudsey 007'': The first VT showed Pudsey arriving from the bus at library bridge, and making his way across campus, James Bond style. Filmed and produced by Helen and Charlotte Bennington, using original music composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
- ''Mr & Mrs Pudsey'': This rather soppy video showed Chris and Helen mucking around in their Pudsey onesies, including shopping for honey <br />
in Costcutter, dancing atop Central Hall and playing a terrible game of tennis - beautifully filmed by [[Tim Copeland]]. <br />
<br />
- ''BrassNeck Sax Quartet'': A music performance by Grace's quartet - Soprano: Katie Wood, Alto: Grace Winpenny, Tenor: Sam Johnson, Baritone: Nick Jones. <br />
<br />
- ''Gabrielle Aplin'': Matt Judge got an exclusive interview with this wonderful singer-songwriter, talking about everything from her progress in the music industries to toothbrushes.<br />
<br />
- ''How to Train Your Teddy'': English Literature Lecturer Jonathan Brockbank kindly agreed to deliver an onslaught of bear-themed puns in a seminar room full of teddy bears - an insight into the inner thoughts of students.<br />
<br />
- ''The Hostage Situation'': Cutting straight into this VT from the previous one (due to technical issues during the live show, remedied by creative editing) we find [[Lloyd Wallis]] and Pudsey gaffer-taped and under a spotlight, desperately in need of £50 to save them. Narrated by the epic voice of [[Greg Ebdon]], Menagerie Man, played by [[Dominic Matthews]], steps up to save the day in this extremely bizarre story.<br />
<br />
- ''BNOC Flashmob Teaser'': A glimpse into the effort that went into the next VT...<br />
<br />
[[File:993797 3712765754294 1819925343 n.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Filming the Teddy Bear's Picnic VT]]<br />
<br />
- ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.<br />
<br />
- ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Ellen Dunbavin]] and Helen, and voiced by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon.<br />
<br />
- ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'. <br />
<br />
- ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. Filmed by Tim Copeland.<br />

They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another iconic animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />

==Other Acts & Interviews==<br />
<br />
Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue. <br />

<br />
=VTs=<br />
<br />
- ''Pudsey 007'': The first VT showed Pudsey arriving from the bus at library bridge, and making his way across campus, James Bond style. Filmed and produced by Helen and Charlotte Bennington, using original music composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
- ''Mr & Mrs Pudsey'': This rather soppy video showed Chris and Helen mucking around in their Pudsey onesies, including shopping for honey <br />
in Costcutter, dancing atop Central Hall and playing a terrible game of tennis - beautifully filmed by [[Tim Copeland]]. <br />
<br />
- ''BrassNeck Sax Quartet'': A music performance by Grace's quartet - Soprano: Katie Wood, Alto: Grace Winpenny, Tenor: Sam Johnson, Baritone: Nick Jones. <br />
<br />
- ''Gabrielle Aplin'': Matt Judge got an exclusive interview with this wonderful singer-songwriter, talking about everything from her progress in the music industries to toothbrushes.<br />
<br />
- ''How to Train Your Teddy'': English Literature Lecturer Jonathan Brockbank kindly agreed to deliver an onslaught of bear-themed puns in a seminar room full of teddy bears - an insight into the inner thoughts of students.<br />
<br />
- ''The Hostage Situation'': Cutting straight into this VT from the previous one (due to technical issues during the live show, remedied by creative editing) we find [[Lloyd Wallis]] and Pudsey gaffer-taped and under a spotlight, desperately in need of £50 to save them. Narrated by the epic voice of [[Greg Ebdon]], Menagerie Man, played by [[Dominic Matthews]], steps up to save the day in this extremely bizarre story.<br />
<br />
- ''BNOC Flashmob Teaser'': A glimpse into the effort that went into the next VT...<br />
<br />
- ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.<br />
<br />
- ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Ellen Dunbavin]] and Helen, and voiced by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon.<br />
<br />
- ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'. <br />
<br />
- ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. Filmed by Tim Copeland.<br />

This section is intended to help future producers of Children in Need by giving a run-down of what went well and what went slightly less well.<br />
<br />
==The Good== <br />
<br />
- The set and props were thought through quite far in advance, allowing for balloons, bunting and badges galore, and the white boards were nicely repainted during the afternoon of the show, covering any scratch marks etc. <br />
<br />
- Many new faces were involved in the live show and the production of VTs, which is lovely, as CiN is intended to be a nice first show for freshers/new-comers.<br />
<br />
- Presenters Matt and Grace and director Sam Nicholson did a wonderful job of keeping everything smooth and calm, despite the ever-changing running order and a few technical melt-downs.<br />
<br />
- The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'.<br />
<br />
- It was in HD, which (despite MEL beating us to the broadcast) led to many screen-strokings and happy glances.<br />
<br />
- There was a strong range of VTs, from music and kidnapping to cooking and picnics, and a particular highlight was being able to see where the donations go by interviewing the director of 'Acting Up'. <br />
<br />
- We raised £608 and, despite a few tense moments on the night, generally had a wonderful time! <br />
<br />
==The Bad==<br />
<br />
- Helen and a wonderful crew of helpers ([[Chris Wall|Chris]], [[Kieron Moore|Kieron]], [[Matt Johnson|Matt]]) may have still been editing a few VTs whilst the show went on...sorry! (Will try not to succumb to sleep again).<br />
<br />
- In the immortal words of [[Sam Nicholson]]: "The VT server was a pile of sh*t and was re-written over Christmas".<br />
<br />
- It was ever so warm in the studio.<br />
<br />
- More thought should have been given (by Helen) into the presenter challenges - whilst they were quite interesting in theory, we forgot to set a time limit - perhaps some exciting background music should be used to prevent silences whilst the presenters work, though Grace did a good job of humming instead.<br />
<br />
- Edit 1 melted. We actually had to put a real fan next to it.<br />

The live show took place on Saturday 16th November, running for 2 hours. It was produced by [[Helen Hobin]], directed by [[Sam Nicholson]], and presented by [[Grace Winpenny]] and [[Matt Judge]]. Involving a range of live music acts, presenter challenges and VTs, the show - combined with [[Chris Wall]] and [[Helen Hobin]]'s pledge to wear Pudsey onesies for 7 days straight - raised £608. <br />
<br />
=The Live Show=<br />
<br />
==Live Music==<br />
<br />
The first act was Stewart Crank, on vocals and guitar, who played a range of songs including 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by the Beatles. Next was Thea Maxwell, playing her own songs, also on vocals and guitar. Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'. <br />
<br />
==Presenter Challenges==<br />
<br />
The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another iconic animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />

The live show took place on Saturday 16th November, running for 2 hours. It was produced by [[Helen Hobin]], directed by [[Sam Nicholson]], and presented by [[Grace Winpenny]] and [[Matt Judge]]. Involving a range of live music acts, presenter challenges and VTs, the show - combined with [[Chris Wall]] and [[Helen Hobin]]'s pledge to wear Pudsey onesies for 7 days straight - raised £608. <br />
<br />
=The Live Show=<br />
<br />
==Live Music==<br />
<br />
The first act was Stewart Crank, on vocals and guitar, who played a range of songs including 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by the Beatles. Next was Thea Maxwell, playing her own songs, also on vocals and guitar. Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'. <br />
<br />
==Presenter Challenges==<br />
<br />
The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another iconic animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />
<br />
==Other Acts & Interviews==<br />
<br />
Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue. <br />
<br />
=VTs=<br />
<br />
- ''Pudsey 007'': The first VT showed Pudsey arriving from the bus at library bridge, and making his way across campus, James Bond style. Filmed and produced by Helen and Charlotte Bennington, using original music composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
- ''Mr & Mrs Pudsey'': This rather soppy video showed Chris and Helen mucking around in their Pudsey onesies, including shopping for honey <br />
in Costcutter, dancing atop Central Hall and playing a terrible game of tennis - beautifully filmed by [[Tim Copeland]]. <br />
<br />
- ''BrassNeck Sax Quartet'': A music performance by Grace's quartet - Soprano: Katie Wood, Alto: Grace Winpenny, Tenor: Sam Johnson, Baritone: Nick Jones. <br />
<br />
- ''Gabrielle Aplin'': Matt Judge got an exclusive interview with this wonderful singer-songwriter, talking about everything from her progress in the music industries to toothbrushes.<br />
<br />
- ''How to Train Your Teddy'': English Literature Lecturer Jonathan Brockbank kindly agreed to deliver an onslaught of bear-themed puns in a seminar room full of teddy bears - an insight into the inner thoughts of students.<br />
<br />
- ''The Hostage Situation'': Cutting straight into this VT from the previous one (due to technical issues during the live show, remedied by creative editing) we find [[Lloyd Wallis]] and Pudsey gaffer-taped and under a spotlight, desperately in need of £50 to save them. Narrated by the epic voice of [[Greg Ebdon]], Menagerie Man, played by [[Dominic Matthews]], steps up to save the day in this extremely bizarre story.<br />
<br />
- ''BNOC Flashmob Teaser'': A glimpse into the effort that went into the next VT...<br />
<br />
- ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.<br />
<br />
- ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Ellen Dunbavin]] and Helen, and voiced by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon.<br />
<br />
- ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'. <br />
<br />
- ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. Filmed by Tim Copeland.<br />
<br />
=Producer's Notes=<br />
<br />
This section is intended to help future producers of Children in Need by giving a run-down of what went well and what went slightly less well.<br />
<br />
==The Good== <br />
<br />
- The set and props were thought through quite far in advance, allowing for balloons, bunting and badges galore, and the white boards were nicely repainted during the afternoon of the show, covering any scratch marks etc. <br />
<br />
- Many new faces were involved in the live show and the production of VTs, which is lovely, as CiN is intended to be a nice first show for freshers/new-comers.<br />
<br />
- Presenters Matt and Grace and director Sam Nicholson did a wonderful job of keeping everything smooth and calm, despite the ever-changing running order and a few technical melt-downs.<br />
<br />
- The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'.<br />
<br />
- It was in HD, which (despite MEL beating us to the broadcast) led to many screen-strokings and happy glances.<br />
<br />
- There was a strong range of VTs, from music and kidnapping to cooking and picnics, and a particular highlight was being able to see where the donations go by interviewing the director of 'Acting Up'. <br />
<br />
- We raised £608 and, despite a few tense moments on the night, generally had a wonderful time! <br />
<br />
==The Bad==<br />
<br />
- Helen and a wonderful crew of helpers ([[Chris Wall|Chris]], [[Kieron Moore|Kieron]], [[Matt Johnson|Matt]]) may have still been editing a few VTs whilst the show went on...sorry! (Will try not to succumb to sleep again).<br />
<br />
- In the immortal words of [[Sam Nicholson]]: "The VT server was a pile of sh*t and was re-written over Christmas".<br />
<br />
- It was ever so warm in the studio.<br />
<br />
- More thought should have been given (by Helen) into the presenter challenges - whilst they were quite interesting in theory, we forgot to set a time limit - perhaps some exciting background music should be used to prevent silences whilst the presenters work, though Grace did a good job of humming instead.<br />
<br />
- Edit 1 melted. We actually had to put a real fan next to it.<br />

The BBC wrote a paragraph about our efforts on their [http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/childreninneed/posts/Looking-back-at-our-fundraising-heroes Children in Need BBC Blog]: "That's a crazy amount of stuff going on for a good cause, we’re sure you’ll agree - and there's more! The awesome students at York Student Television (YSTV), York University’s very own campus TV channel, put together a great BBC Children in Need-themed broadcast featuring all the characteristics of the charity’s annual Appeal show and giving them a distinct York University twist. Two students, Grace and Matt, presented the show which featured live music, onesie mayhem, broken eggs and funny sketches! You can check out the show here, and of course, a huge thank you to all at YSTV for going to such a huge effort to raise money!" <br />

BBC Radio York mentioned YSTV too, although sadly didn't interview Kallum Taylor as they'd suggested. <br />

The live show took place on Saturday 16th November, running for 2 hours. It was produced by [[Helen Hobin]], directed by [[Sam Nicholson]], and presented by [[Grace Winpenny]] and [[Matt Judge]]. Involving a range of live music acts, presenter challenges and VTs, the show - combined with [[Chris Wall]] and [[Helen Hobin]]'s pledge to wear Pudsey onesies for 7 days straight - raised £608. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Live Music'''<br />
<br />
The first act was Stewart Crank, on vocals and guitar, who played a range of songs including 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by the Beatles. Next was Thea Maxwell, playing her own songs, also on vocals and guitar. Finally, BNOC and YUSU President Kallum Taylor and guitarist Robert Grout played a medley of songs which they'd composed earlier that day, all inspired by popular York club, 'The Willow', and including the memorable refrain: 'I'm a mother-loving B-N-O-C!'. <br />
<br />
'''Presenter Challenges'''<br />
<br />
The primary presenter challenge, 'The Great Bear Bake Off', was prerecorded and used as a VT. Two other challenges took place during the live show. The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another iconic animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />
<br />
'''Other Acts & Interviews'''<br />
<br />
Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue. <br />
<br />
'''VTs'''<br />
<br />
- ''Pudsey 007'': The first VT showed Pudsey arriving from the bus at library bridge, and making his way across campus, James Bond style. Filmed and produced by Helen and Charlotte Bennington, using original music composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
- ''Mr & Mrs Pudsey'': This rather soppy video showed Chris and Helen mucking around in their Pudsey onesies, including shopping for honey <br />
in Costcutter, dancing atop Central Hall and playing a terrible game of tennis - beautifully filmed by [[Tim Copeland]]. <br />
<br />
- ''BrassNeck Sax Quartet'': A music performance by Grace's quartet - Soprano: Katie Wood, Alto: Grace Winpenny, Tenor: Sam Johnson, Baritone: Nick Jones. <br />
<br />
- ''Gabrielle Aplin'': Matt Judge got an exclusive interview with this wonderful singer-songwriter, talking about everything from her progress in the music industries to toothbrushes.<br />
<br />
- ''How to Train Your Teddy'': English Literature Lecturer Jonathan Brockbank kindly agreed to deliver an onslaught of bear-themed puns in a seminar room full of teddy bears - an insight into the inner thoughts of students.<br />
<br />
- ''The Hostage Situation'': Cutting straight into this VT from the previous one (due to technical issues during the live show, remedied by creative editing) we find [[Lloyd Wallis]] and Pudsey gaffer-taped and under a spotlight, desperately in need of £50 to save them. Narrated by the epic voice of [[Greg Ebdon]], Menagerie Man, played by [[Dominic Matthews]], steps up to save the day in this extremely bizarre story.<br />
<br />
- ''BNOC Flashmob Teaser'': A glimpse into the effort that went into the next VT...<br />
<br />
- ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.<br />
<br />
- ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Ellen Dunbavin]] and Helen, and voiced by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon.<br />
<br />
- ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'. <br />
<br />
- ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. Filmed by Tim Copeland.<br />
<br />
'''Producer's Notes'''<br />
<br />
This section is intended to help future producers of Children in Need by giving a run-down of what went well and what went slightly less well:<br />
<br />
- ''The Good'': <br />
<br />
- The set and props were thought through quite far in advance, allowing for balloons, bunting and badges galore, and the white boards were nicely repainted during the afternoon of the show, covering any scratch marks etc. <br />
<br />
- Many new faces were involved in the live show and the production of VTs, which is lovely, as CiN is intended to be a nice first show for freshers/new-comers.<br />
<br />
- Presenters Matt and Grace and director Sam Nicholson did a wonderful job of keeping everything smooth and calm, despite the ever-changing running order and a few technical melt-downs.<br />
<br />
- The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'.<br />
<br />
- It was in HD, which (despite MEL beating us to the broadcast) led to many screen-strokings and happy glances.<br />
<br />
- There was a strong range of VTs, from music and kidnapping to cooking and picnics, and a particular highlight was being able to see where the donations go by interviewing the director of 'Acting Up'. <br />
<br />
- We raised £608 and, despite a few tense moments on the night, generally had a wonderful time! <br />
<br />
''The Bad'':<br />
<br />
- Helen and a wonderful crew of helpers ([[Chris Wall|Chris]], [[Kieron Moore|Kieron]], [[Matt Johnson|Matt]]) may have still been editing a few VTs whilst the show went on...sorry! (Will try not to succumb to sleep again).<br />
<br />
- In the immortal words of [[Sam Nicholson]]: "The VT server was a pile of sh*t and was re-written over Christmas".<br />
<br />
- It was ever so warm in the studio.<br />
<br />
- More thought should have been given (by Helen) into the presenter challenges - whilst they were quite interesting in theory, we forgot to set a time limit - perhaps some exciting background music should be used to prevent silences whilst the presenters work, though Grace did a good job of humming instead.<br />
<br />
- Edit 1 melted. We actually had to put a real fan next to it.<br />
<br />

The first involved Matt and Grace being given two sets of face-paint, kindly lent by [[Liz Williams]], and instructed to paint each other's faces as animals, whilst guessing from the colours and techniques used by the other person what they were being painted as. However, this was made slightly difficult by the fact that both presenters wore glasses, which had to be taken off for the painting - and therefore when the challenge ended they were slightly surprised by the effects which they had created - to put it bluntly, they looked like an ill dog and a tired orange. The second challenge began when they were given two giant Pudsey gingerbread cookies and a packet of coloured icing tubes. They were told to turn over the cookies and using the icing tubes draw another iconic animal icon. Grace created a frowning Rudolph-esque bear whilst Matt somewhat ingeniously used the opportunity to make a portrait of [[Chris Wall]], within his Pudsey onesie, of course. Chris was the judge for this challenge, and declared that Matt had won. <br />

'''Other Acts & Interviews'''<br />
<br />
Chris Wall performed a magic act, using his mind-reading abilities and card skills to bamboozle the presenters, before being interviewed about his magic. Helen and Chris also appeared earlier in the show, to discuss Children in Need and the experience of living encased within a onesie. This led Chris to tell an alarming story involving vodka and a little girl in a queue. <br />
<br />
'''VTs'''<br />
<br />
- ''Pudsey 007'': The first VT showed Pudsey arriving from the bus at library bridge, and making his way across campus, James Bond style. Filmed and produced by Helen and Charlotte Bennington, using original music composed by [[Rob Drane]]. <br />
<br />
- ''Mr & Mrs Pudsey'': This rather soppy video showed Chris and Helen mucking around in their Pudsey onesies, including shopping for honey <br />
in Costcutter, dancing atop Central Hall and playing a terrible game of tennis - beautifully filmed by [[Tim Copeland]]. <br />
<br />
- ''BrassNeck Sax Quartet'': A music performance by Grace's quartet - Soprano: Katie Wood, Alto: Grace Winpenny, Tenor: Sam Johnson, Baritone: Nick Jones. <br />
<br />
- ''Gabrielle Aplin'': Matt Judge got an exclusive interview with this wonderful singer-songwriter, talking about everything from her progress in the music industries to toothbrushes.<br />
<br />
- ''How to Train Your Teddy'': English Literature Lecturer Jonathan Brockbank kindly agreed to deliver an onslaught of bear-themed puns in a seminar room full of teddy bears - an insight into the inner thoughts of students.<br />
<br />
- ''The Hostage Situation'': Cutting straight into this VT from the previous one (due to technical issues during the live show, remedied by creative editing) we find [[Lloyd Wallis]] and Pudsey gaffer-taped and under a spotlight, desperately in need of £50 to save them. Narrated by the epic voice of [[Greg Ebdon]], Menagerie Man, played by [[Dominic Matthews]], steps up to save the day in this extremely bizarre story.<br />
<br />
- ''BNOC Flashmob Teaser'': A glimpse into the effort that went into the next VT...<br />
<br />
- ''BNOC Flashmob'': On Friday 15th November YSTV combined forces with Dance Soc and the YUSU Sabbs to stage a flashmob on Vanbrugh Paradise, aiming to gather a few pennies and raise awareness of the cause and YSTV's appeal. Dancing to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman', Chris Wall began the performance, before being joined by the 'jellyfish' that is [[Kallum Taylor]] and the rest of the Sabbs. Choreographed by the talented Dance Soc team.<br />
<br />
- ''Teddy Bear's Picnic'': Basically a bunch of cuddly animals having a picnic and discussing the work and history of Children in Need, filmed and wiggled by [[Ellen Dunbavin]] and Helen, and voiced by the ever-talented Greg Ebdon.<br />
<br />
- ''The Great Bear Bake Off'': The main presenter challenge, this was set in the student kitchen of [[Charlotte Bennington]], and features Matt and Grace attempting to bake a Pudsey-themed bake whilst hindered by the fact that they couldn't use their own arms. Instead, limbs were provided by Helen and Charlotte, which led to eggs cracked into the pouch of Matt's apron, flour in the air and one cake being held out of the window. However, things took a surprising turn when Matt added toothpaste to Grace's cake without her noticing. Filmed and judged by Sam Nicholson, who decided that the toothpaste-y cake was refreshing and won on 'sheer innovation'. <br />
<br />
- ''Acting Up'': Helen visited the Riding Lights Theatre in York, to interview director Kelvin about 'Acting Up', a drama workshop for young people with special needs or disabilities. They receive funding from BBC Children in Need, and we wanted to show where donations go locally. <br />

'''Press & Publicity'''<br />
<br />
The BBC wrote a paragraph about our efforts on their [http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/childreninneed/posts/Looking-back-at-our-fundraising-heroes Children in Need BBC Blog]: "That's a crazy amount of stuff going on for a good cause, we’re sure you’ll agree - and there's more! The awesome students at York Student Television (YSTV), York University’s very own campus TV channel, put together a great BBC Children in Need-themed broadcast featuring all the characteristics of the charity’s annual Appeal show and giving them a distinct York University twist. Two students, Grace and Matt, presented the show which featured live music, onesie mayhem, broken eggs and funny sketches! You can check out the show here, and of course, a huge thank you to all at YSTV for going to such a huge effort to raise money!" <br />
<br />
BBC Radio York mentioned YSTV too, although sadly didn't interview Kallum Taylor as they'd suggested. <br />
<br />
[[Helen Hobin]] gave a video interview for the [http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/video/133753/?page= York Press], filmed by [[Christopher Parker]], and student newspaper [[Nouse]] came along to the BNOC Flashmob to take photographs and tweet about the event.<br />
