The following is the script/running order for February 2003's [[Have I Got News For YUSU]], produced as a filler for [[Elections 2003]]. It was a group effort from the active members of the society at the time and, for a motley crew with no record in comedy whatsoever (other than a quotes board full of innuendo) isn't that bad. It's just a shame there was no room for a studio audience to bounce off, so a lot of the show appears to fall quite flat | The following is the script/running order for February 2003's [[Have I Got News For YUSU]], produced as a filler for [[Elections 2003]].

It's just a shame there was no room for a studio audience to bounce off, and the sabbs who took part had a habit of reading the autocue and laughing at the joke before it had been read out, so a lot of the show appears to fall quite flat. Jokes which were topical have been annoted with explanations, but a surprising amount stands the test of time well showing nothing ever changes in York... | ||

This is the story of over-enthusiastic first year English students who have been applauding at the end of every lecture in the mistake belief that it is what they are supposed to do. Rumours that it has been extended to general union policy have been strongly denied. | This is the story of over-enthusiastic first year English students who have been applauding at the end of every lecture in the mistake belief that it is what they are supposed to do.

The sets of odd-ones-out were swapped on recording to make the inanimate objects seem more obscure, something not lost on Tom Connor) | ||

Thanks to our outgoing sabbatical officers for joining us tonight.
