Matthew Platts

Where to start...

Matthew started at York in 2002 when he made an immediate impact by wearing a suit all the time and volunteering to put a condom on (over a banana) at the YSTV-filmed Freshers Talks. He presented Bulletin the week after and then disappeared for a year. Matthew re-joined YSTV in January 2004 and produced many, many, many episodes of his surreal "comedy" Solipsism along with Al Power and James Butterworth. Soon after he became Secretary, and in the summer became the penultimate regular producer of Bona Dicta, introducing elements of his own brand of humour into the show. He left York in Autumn 2005.

He was usually known as "MDP", as he would often refer to himself by his full name Matthew David Platts.
