Full Time Officers were given additional tasks to do during and after their slot compared to previous year. YSTV was asked by URY to film the candidates doing turns to camera in front of the green screen, so thaty could be used in a montage introducing the candidates for FTO position on results night. URY also set themselves up in YourSpace with a borrowed Kenobi and the remaining two AC-90 cameras, and collected FTO candidates after their slots to have a light-hearted interview - which would be played out on results night as filler material for the stage show.

Most candidates turned up for their slots, with some cancelling their bookings for unknown reasons. Surprisingly some of the candidates who didn't book at all, or cancelled without rebooking, were running fro FTO positions. This would cause later issues for the candidate montages and interviews for the results night stage show.

Surprisingly some of the candidates who didn't book at all, or cancelled without rebooking, were running for FTO positions. This would cause later issues for the candidate montages and interviews for the results night stage show. Despite being told several times not to (or at least e-mail ahead), some candidates still chose to wear green - often entering the studio saying "I know you didn't want us to wear green, but...". In other words, business as usual. Of particular note was a pair running for Women's Officer who had brought along rabbits, which they wanted to hold during their video. This was declined (by Peter, who felt really bad afterwards!) because of the unknown quantity that is live animals in a hot and brightly-lit TV studio, and it wasn't known whether the room agreement even allowed animals.


Overall, the weekend was fairly relaxed, with a lot of downtime for the production team. Whilst on Saturday some crew members did not leave until midnight (when the last of the days videos had been uploaded), Sunday morning and early-afternoon were mostly free - with the production team going to Courtyard for lunch. There was a flurry of candidates between 2pm and 5pm on the Sunday, with exporting on hold until Grace could come in to level the audio.
