Election Night Live 87
1987's elections programme was the first in colour.
It featured a rather largenumber of elements. The main links presenter appeared to be based in the Physics studio and presented for the entire evening. There was a panel of hacks and candidates, an interview set, a graphics presenter, live cameras in the dining hall, an "outspoken" commentator in the Physics concourse and a segment called "Let's Go To Bed" (introduced by a short sting of The Cure's song of the same name). This was a set with a bed where over-the-top interviews with candidates and YUSU-types would be conducted, some five years away of a similar concept being used on The Big Breakfast.
[Photos] of the production sent to YSTV in 2005 by Roger Moffatt show that crew members all had special Election Night Live 87 sweatshirts, complete with that year's logo!
For some reason the sizeable portion of Election Night Live 1987 YSTV holds is located on the end of one of the tapes the 1994 programme is on!
