On the 28th January 2013, Helen nervously pitched her idea of a programme about the literary world of Yorkshire, and the show was voted in. Thanks to the help of pretty much every member of YSTV, she learnt a huge amount when making her first episode about the Brontës – from the bus timetables of Haworth, to the importance of colour-balancing, and from the necessity of gloves whilst trekking across moors in January, to the fun that can be had working alongside a wonderful crew – in this case, Harriet Myzak-Douglas and Antonia Callan. She had further splendid adventures with Antonia, Anya Diaz Cebreiro and [[Christopher Parker|Chris Parker]] when filming the second episode about James Herriot and interviewing his daughter, Rosie, in the Summer Term of her first year.

She gained the position of [[Assistant Production Director]] on the 15th May 2013 – a role which she really enjoyed, despite its involvement of the term ‘Ass Prod’. Although she did not fulfill [[Christopher Parker|Chris Parker]]’s requests to fetch him a coffee, she learnt a lot from being involved with the committee and the station’s overall production department. She produced her first live show in November 2013, YSTV’s annual broadcast of ‘[[Children in Need]]’, which has provided very valuable experiences of organising a team, making decisions, and sending out twice the usual amount of emails. It was a wonderful learning curve, and definitely worth the late nights.

For an unknown reason, Helen is fairly notorious when it comes to socials/nights out, and the day following an event her words may be found all over the [[Quotes board|Quotes Board]]. She is reported to have been kicked out of the Willow several times, and would probably be embarrassed to have it known that this was for the - perfectly understandable - activity of napping. Following the consumption of alcohol she is more active in literally prodding people, and has a penchant for arm-wrestling. She is an avid fan of hit show ‘[[Bargain Mad]]’.

In the Autumn term bi-elections of 2013, she was elected [[Production Director]] and is happy in the knowledge that YSTV is her real home while at university. (Although of course she has never slept in the studio...)
