Genre: Event Coverage
Broadcast: 1987
Producer(s):

1987's elections programme was the first in colour.

It featured a rather largenumber of elements. The main links presenter appeared to be based in the Physics studio and presented for the entire evening. There was a panel of hacks and candidates, an interview set, a graphics presenter, live cameras in the dining hall, an "outspoken" commentator in the Physics concourse and a segment called "Let's Go To Bed" (introduced by a short sting of The Cure's song of the same name). This was a set with a bed where over-the-top interviews with candidates and YUSU-types would be conducted, some five years away of a similar concept being used on The Big Breakfast.

[Photos] of the production sent to YSTV in 2005 by Roger Moffatt show that crew members all had special Election Night Live 87 sweatshirts, complete with that year's logo!
