Elections 2005 was broadcast on March 11th 2005, and produced by Kate Rushworth and Kat Sutton.

The successful Goodricke/Derwent split of the previous year was again used, and broadly the same format and set were used. New additions included another interview spot on the balcony of Derwent bar. This was included to try and get some more of the flavour of the atmopshere in the event into the programme, which hadn't had a correspondent in the dining hall itself for around four years. The interviews on this camera were to be more light-hearted (such as random students, candidate supporters, JCRC chairs etc). Also used for the first time was the Death Star camera in the main hall, allowing for far more control over the shot used that usually allowed by the camera in the dining hall.

The title sequence this year included a new theme tune, composed by Rob Humphrey and finished only hours before the programme went on air. It accompanied a title sequence made by Steve Walker, depicting a vote going inside a ballot box, which turned out to have previous highlights on the walls and other election imagery, before resolving in the logo - designed by Kate herself and animated by Drew Perry. A title sequence of effectively the same idea was used for the BBC's coverage of local elections in May 2006!

Fillers included the latest versions of the legendary STV VT, This Is YOUR: Manifesto, some student opinions and an interview with outgoing SU President James Alexander. Also making it's first appearance was Elections Past - a hastily edited compilation of election night highlights that went on to become a programme in its own right and be updated every year.

The programme went very smoothly and was the first in a very long time to go on air on time. This year was also the first programme to be shown online. The seven hour-long segments of the show were placed online within a couple of days and immediately received hundreds of hits, albeit from candidates and YUSU wanting to see themselves!

Behind the scenes photos can be seen [on YSTV's website]. There was also a behind-the-scenes film of the set-up and broadcast of the programme made to show how much work goes into the show. This was shown on Small Screen's [Spring 2005 Week 10 programme], YSTV Week's [Summer 2005 Week 2 programme] and Good Morning Campus [at the end of the Summer term].
