 A typical Toffs Sunday would be compered by a Lily Savage-esque MC, who made it onto the YSTV quotes board with "no I will not play the f***ing YMCA".  The music was usually identical with each visit, featuring copious amounts of Hanson, Britney and the inevitable B*Witched megamix - not just C'est La Vie and Rollercoaster, but Jessie Hold On too!  The second Big Gay Sunday even saw the start of two YSTV relationships. (Albeit straight ones!)
-The social was referenced in [[Good Morning Campus]] as an example of what YSTV had got up to in the previous year.  After this point the social happened rarely - mainly because Toffs decided they didn't want to be associated with something like a gay night.  There were occasional revivals though, the most recent in early 2007, partly down to Toffs realising that if they didn't market Sunday as a gay night, no-one would go, so it re-became a gay night after all.

-A revival of the social is planned for the station's 40th anniversary celebrations.  Big Gay Sunday: The Reunion will take place on 1st July 2007.
+A revival of the social took place on 1st July 2007, coinciding with the station's 40th anniversary celebrations.  A number of YSTV members past and present went to The Nag's Head followed by Toffs (also the first ever smoke-free night at the club).  The event was subtitled "The Reunion" but later got given the name "The Final F***", because it was possibly the last ever Big Gay Sunday, at least to feature much of the original group.
