Big Telly is the a nick-name given to YSTV's large screen {{unsure|dunno it's real name}} television that was donated to the society in the {{unsure|late 1990s}}. The picture it produces was never great but until the advent of regular [[chroma key]] it was the only way of generating a large screen image in the studio. It was however very difficult to get into the studio due to its size - usually it was rolled down through the fire escape over an old set board from [[Election 98]]! It was used on programmes such as [[Games Disaster]], [[Lolita]], [[Red Braces]] and [[Bulletin]]. | Big Telly is the a nick-name given to YSTV's large screen {{unsure|dunno it's real name}} television that was donated to the society in the {{unsure|late 1990s}}.

It's final appearance on screen was in [[Elections 2003]], after which the new [[Panasonic Max]] was used for the purpose. These days it is usually left outside Derwent JCR for the queues on election night to watch the show, and Goodricke JCRC borrow it for their karaoke nights in Goodricke bar (and then forget to bring it back). | It's final appearance on screen was in [[Elections 2003]], after which the new [[Panasonic Max]] was used for the purpose.
