Despite being enrolled on a Pure Maths course, Luke applied to York specifically because he'd heard that there was a student TV station. | |||
During his time at York, Luke was involved in a number of productions, and hopes that the tapes of some of them will never be found again! | |||
Luke was Grapevine Manager for the second half of his First Year, creating teletext pages with the day's news and sport on a trusty BBC computer. The second year brought the role of Scheduling Manager. More interestingly, his proud lack of interest in TV soaps was ruined when [[Mark Hansgate]] twisted his arm into co-producing [[Soapwatch]] with fresher [[Emma Winter]]. This turned out to be great fun, although Luke can still sometimes be overheard muttering in his sleep about 1990s plot lines from Eastenders. | |||
Contravening YSTV tradition, Luke decided he should probably leave York with some sort of degree, and was seen around the station somewhat less during his third year. | |||
After York, and after sending billions of letters to TV companies, Luke started work at the end of 1996 as a Trainee Technical Operator for Meridian in Newbury, progressing to various other roles during the 5 years he was there. | |||
The next 5 years were spent directing news programmes for ITN, including ITV News and Channel 4 News. | |||
In 2006, Luke left TV in the search for a new challenge, and is now very happy (if exhausted) teaching Maths in a secondary school in Kent. | |||
