(Info about the pilot, and Murphy-gate. Richard - it might be on a tape of one-off shows from 2003/4, stuff like Whose YSTV on that too.) |

Lipsync began over drinks in Wentworth Bar on a Monday night after a station meeting, based around the YSTV clock and the idea of "Just a Minute" on TV. The pilot episode (later the same night, after pizza!) featured [[Richard Ash]], [[Steve Walker]], [[Rowan de Pomerai]], and [[Ed Jellard]], chaired by [[Drew Perry]]. Crew was non-existant - the chair vision mixed whilst the {{unsure|winner of each round}} swapped onto camera! | Lipsync began over drinks in Wentworth Bar on a Monday night after a station meeting, based around the YSTV clock and the idea of "Just a Minute" on TV.

A more organised regular show was started in 2004 by [[Rowan de Pomerai]], it was taken over in the summer of 2006 by [[Rick Selby]].

[[Steve Walker]] created the title sequence, [[Rowan de Pomerai|Rowan]] and [[Adam Van Coevorden|Vanky]] did the rest. It was ace. The original title music was Chopin's 'Minute Waltz', before eventually being replaced by a jaunty tune Rowan knocked up in Apple's GarageBand application. | [[Steve Walker]] created the title sequence, [[Rowan de Pomerai|Rowan]] and [[Adam Van Coevorden|Vanky]] did the rest.

When reviewing YSTV's Best Broadcaster compilation for 2005's NaSTA, Stuart Murphy - then controller of BBC3 - included a comment in his (brief) notes that "the panel game looks crap". This was referred to a number of times on the show in summer 2005. Despie this objection, Stuart thought that YSTV was the 2nd best student TV station. | |||
