YSTV has a long, proud history of producing unadulterated rip-offs and parodies of other channel's programming. Here's a list of some of them, starting with the obvious steals:
- Never Mind The Rip-Off - Never Mind The Buzzcocks
- Have I Got News For YUSU - Have I Got News For You
- Whose YSTV Is It Anyway - Whose Line Is It Anyway?
- URYVision Song Contest - Eurovison Song Contest (we can blame URY for this one!)
- Summer Expedition - Blue Peter have been doing this idea for 40 years
- YSTV's Bloomers - Auntie's Bloomers
- Welcome To Venus - Loose Women
YSTV were approached in late 2003 to produce a rip-off of The Office called The Union, transferring Slough to Heslington, but this was never made.
Although not direct rip-offs the following owe a lot to other shows:
- Jim'll Sodomise You - parody of Jim'll Fix It (alledgedly)
- YSTV-am - inspired by The Big Breakfast and a name derived from TV-am
- Lazy Lunch - Name comes from C4's Light Lunch but this show had no cookery whatsoever
- This Afternoon - named as a parody of This Morning, was a similar magazine show
- Campus Today - again featuring This Morning-style set-up and theme tune
- This Is YOUR: Manifesto - theme tune, title and red book are from This Is Your Life
- Children In Need - not really a rip-off but inspired by BBC telethon of the same name
- Good Morning Campus - name derives from Good Morning Britain but show was more like BBC Breakfast
- LipSync deserves an honourable mention for all the rounds it has ripped-off from other panel shows over the years!
Finally, YSTV were ripped-off in a way when around a year after Stereotypes was made, a very similar programme called "He Says, She Says" was broadcast on BBC2 - and the title of which was a working title for Stereotypes!
