 Due to shooting a non-YSTV short film the week before [[Freshers Week 2020]] and a YSTV-related 48h film ([[Coming Up Next]]), Thomas was only marginally involved with the regular coverage of the week. However, he still produced and edited [[Zoe and Jonny's Drunk Diaries]] and presented several hours of the [[Freshers' Fair 2020]] livestream. Ultimately, the committee's efforts resulted in the biggest intake of new members YSTV had recorded to that day, including future key station members like soon-to-be [[Station Director]] [[Joe Radford]].
-For the rest of autumn term, Thomas' work centred around presenting several [[YSTV Reports]] videos and the key productions of [[Lost]] (for which he teamed up with [[Matthew Zeffertt]] and once again promptly lost), [[YSTV does Hunted - Episode 2]] and [[Please Sir, There's Been A Murder]]. The later evolved out of an initial idea by [[The Dynamic Duo]] and a concept by [[Jacob Boyle]] and became the world's first live interactive drama. Together with his co-producer and co-director [[Stephanie Shires|Steph]], he assembled cast and crew and spent the last weeks of the term plus an additional December week figuring out how to broadcast the production from Steph's house. He was mainly in charge of figuring out camera positions, the movement of cast and crew around the set and directing actors. During the actual live show, Thomas worked as vision engineer (which was necessary, because they had too many video inputs to vision mix).

 His second pet project for the term was the second episode of [[YSTV does Hunted]]. Together with former contestant [[Andrew Waddle]], Thomas planned on taking the concept by [[Edwin Barnes]] and expanding it massively by introducing three additional teams and running the game for longer. YSTV seemed to love the idea, and a large crew of both old and new members ended up getting involved. The show was ultimately shot during a November Saturday and then went straight into [[edit hell]].
-Around this time during winter 2019/20, Thomas established a new recurring live programme with [[Boozy Broadcasts]]. This live studio show featured a bunch of drunk YSTV members coming together after the weekly meeting in the [[YSTV studio]] to participate in different games or competitions. The most notable instalment of this new series was ''Drunk Drivers''; an epic Mario Kart tournament in which most of the station's members participated. All in costume, of course.

The most notable instalment of this new series was ''Drunk Drivers''; an epic Mario Kart tournament in which most of the station's members participated. All in costume, of course.
 With the beginning of 2020, Thomas was forced to become less involved in active YSTV productions - partially due to the realisation that he might actually have to work for his degree, and partially due to [[edit hell]] bursting at the seams. Most of his work during this term was focused on [[NaSTA 2020]], which was quickly approaching. In a desperate attempt to finish as many productions as possible in time for the deadline, Thomas got heavily involved in their post-production. At several occasions, he was even known to live and sleep in the [[YSTV studio]] for multiple days in a row - even though that was very much going against the policy he had been involved in establishing himself. Despite this time period proving to be exhausting and stressful, Thomas managed to complete work on [[YSTV does Hunted - Episode 2]], [[The FetSocDoc]], [[Robbing Chloe]] and the [[Best Broadcaster]] showreel just in time (the last file was uploaded roughly seven minutes before the deadline). Soon after, [[YSTV does Hunted]] and [[The FetSocDoc]] were officially released to notable success and positive feedback.

 For the remainder of summer term, Thomas continued working on [[Quarantine Weekly]] and some minor productions. During the award season at the end of the academic year, Thomas was chosen to represent YSTV in several instances and therefor was able to accept a fair number of awards on YSTV's behalf. Notably, Thomas and [[Stephanie Shires|Steph]] were recognised for ''Outstanding Contribution to Student Media'' at the YUMAs 2020; [[Beautiful Yorkshire]] and [[The FetSocDoc]] were featured at LUMA 2020 as part of the gala screening, Thomas won an ''Unsung Hero'' award at the [[Love York Awards 2020]], and [[Please Sir, There's Been A Murder]] and [[The FetSocDoc]] received multiple awards at several events for their impact on student media and the wider student community.
-With his graduation in summer 2020, Thomas settled into a life as an YSTV alumni but continued living in York, which left him still connected with the following generation of YSTV. Because of this, Thomas made a few additional appearances in YSTV content. For example, he animated the intro to the [[Quarantine Weekly]] follow-up [[Oranges and Lemons]] and presented a few interviews for [[Freshers' Week 2020]]. During autumn term, the initially postponed [[NaSTA 2020]] took place, for which Thomas and [[Olivia Gibbs]] were selected as the station's representatives. Over the course of the night, YSTV was able to pick up a massive amount of awards and nominations - especially [[YSTV does Hunted - Episode 2]] picked up two awards for ''Best Post-Production'' and ''Best Title Sequence''. A few months later, it was also announced that the production was nominated by the Royal Television Society for ''Best Non-Fiction'' at the ''Yorkshire Student Awards''.
