One of the election night fillers in 2003 was a rip-off of Have I Got News For You, produced by Jonathan Bufton. Four YUSU sabbs agreed to take part and some old Games Disaster red set boards were covered in newspaper headlines to mimick the set of HIGNFY. The campus folklore webpages and the online archive of York Vision were raided to find stories, and the show faithfully followed the format of the original BBC version. It also marked one of the first appearances of James Gallagher on YSTV, as host. The script was a group effort from many of YSTV's active members of the period. Amazingly, despite being four years old and incredibly out of date in terms of the references and guests, it is still shown on YSTV from time to time to this day.
