Sound Space

Sound Space was YSTV's music review programme in the late 90s.

Sound Space
Genre:	Music
First Broadcast:	Spring 1998
Producer(s):	Paul Soulsby

It featured music news, chart rundowns and the latest videos and ran for 3 series (only a couple of episodes were made in the 3rd series).

Series 3 was the only series to have an on screen presenter. Series 1 & 2 had a Acorn generated computer backgrounds with a voice over.

In 2000Unverified or incomplete information there was also a special "Sound Space Live 5h", which as its name suggests was a live 5 hour show. Largely this was made up of improvised music from Paul Soulsby and presenter Peter Bowles, including electronic keyboard music from a JenSX analogue keyboard which had been hastily repaired a few weeks earlier in the Techie room.

There was an idea to bring the show back during Autumn 2003 because of the lack of other productions - however the advent of The Music Show meant this didn't happen.

The titles for Sound Space are on Umatic, although interestingly there the letters are red rather than yellow - whether this is due to tape aging or whether there were two versions isn't clear.
