Mark Hansgate

Mark Hansgate first joined YSTV in 1992-93, and had risen to the lofty heights of Production Director in 1994. He can take significant credit for converting a large proportion of the new 94 recruits in to regular members. He achieved this by preparing a set of programme formats ("Week by Week", "Soapwatch", "SU Lies and Videotape" there may have been an additional oneUnverified or incomplete information) which would run in week 1 on different nights. This allowed new members to find a programme to work on which would fit in with their busy life as a fresher.

He was active in producing drama on YSTV, producing Middletons and writing 3-to-1 as well as editing Closure.

He always made clear that he would not serve a full term, as he was now in his final year of his degree. Fortunately, one of the new intake, Sally Gray was willing to replace him.
