Helen first encountered YSTV at Fresher's Fair 2012, when she saw a big, shiny camera and a microphone-wielding [[Emma Bew]] (2:03 into the [https://ystv.co.uk/watch/Freshers-2012/Freshers-2012-Montage/ 2012 Freshers Montage]). Having hovered around for a few moments, trying not to look creepy, she eventually asked to be interviewed – mostly in order to get a closer look at what seemed like something straight out of the BBC.

One night, inspiration struck: whilst thinking about her essay on the Brontës, she suddenly realised that she could combine her love of literature with television – thus, the series ‘[[Lights on Literature]]’ was born.
