There were vague intentions to cover the elections since the current PM Theresa May unexpectedly called the election back in April 2017. However since the election was called for June 8th just after exam season, pre-production was put on the back-burner until anyone could be bothered. Turns out no one really could, so much like the election campaigning itself it was quite a last minute affair. There was a compilation video of YSTV's political content of 2017 created by [[Raquel Bartra]] to advertise the stream which was released on YSTV facebook before the show. Purposefully bad graphics were also created by [[Emily Friend]] to advertise the stream on social media. An example of the horrific colour scheme and ironic use of comic | There were vague intentions to cover the elections since the current PM Theresa May unexpectedly called the election back in April 2017.

The Lemon Press (York's answer to The Private Eye) were invited onto the project to provide VTs, presenters and general anarchy. There was a very productive meeting with our lemony partners where the general outline of the show was discussed. From this meeting it was decided [[Tom Lee]] would help The Lemon Press film VTs with our green screen in the studio. Spoiler alert: Most of these ended up being unbroadcastable. One of the skits about the Queen was bordering on treason so there was some trepidation for the actual live show. | The Lemon Press (York's answer to The Private Eye) were invited onto the project to provide VTs, presenters and general anarchy.

The show from 4-6am was produced by [[Joel Mitchell]] and invited political commentators from many student political parties and publications to comment on the results and predict the nature of the hung parliament which was beginning to become inevitable. This show has a more reserved set up with 5 stools set up around a screen where two presenters and 3 guests (around 10 guests swapped throughout the two hours) discussed the night. This show utilised VT footage from YSTV's previous coverage of the election period including our coverage of the Corbyn rally and an exclusive interview with Boris Johnson. [[Joel Mitchell]] and [[Benjamin Whybrow]] held the show together by producing, presenting and researching on iPads live on air as comms were temperamental at best. | The show from 4-6am was produced by [[Joel Mitchell]] and invited political commentators from many student political parties and publications to comment on the results and predict the nature of the hung parliament which was beginning to become inevitable.
