YSTV's comedy panel show which blends original rounds with some borrowed from the greatest TV and radio comedy.  Since the demise of [[Bona Dicta]] it now holds the dubious honour of being YSTV's longest-running show.

Lipsync began over drinks in Wentworth Bar on a Monday night after a station meeting in February 2004, based around the YSTV [[Clock]] and the idea of "Just a Minute" on TV. The pilot episode (later the same night, after pizza!) featured  [[Richard Ash]], [[James Thorniley]], [[Steve Walker]], [[Rowan de Pomerai]], and [[Ed Jellard]], chaired by [[Drew Perry]]. Crew was non-existant - the chair vision mixed whilst the {{unsure|winner of each round}} swapped onto camera!  A short clip from this made it into Best Broadcaster 2004.

Crew was non-existant - the chair vision mixed whilst the {{unsure|winner of each round}} swapped onto camera!  A short clip from this made it into [[Best Broadcaster]] 2004.

[[Steve Walker]] created the title sequence, [[Rowan de Pomerai|Rowan]] and [[Adam Van Coevorden|Vanky]] did the rest. It was ace. The original title music was Chopin's 'Minute Waltz', before eventually being replaced by a jaunty tune Rowan knocked up in Apple's GarageBand application.

The original title music was Chopin's 'Minute Waltz', before eventually being replaced by a jaunty tune Rowan knocked up in Apple's GarageBand application to avoid copyright implications associated with the launch of Watch Online. The first couple of episodes had the teams sat rather awkwardley up against the left wall of the studio, not disimilar to the pilot (now completely free following the demolition of the [[Off The Cuff]] broom cupboard) , with the [[Green Screen]] covered by the purple ex-Central Hall curtain.  Later that term the set was shifted to a more suitable new set up in the back right-hand corner of the studio, again using the purple curtain attached to the lighting rig in the ceiling, creating a virtual corner to provide another area to produce shows from.  The show remained in this home for the next two years, and the new corner area was also used for shows such as [[Children In Need]] and [[Stereotypes]].
