NaSTA 2004

NaSTA 2004 was held in Norwich by NEXUS UTV over four days in April 2004.

Activities included the traditional Golden Bodge, which this year saw YSTV performing a tribute to BBC One's Bollywood ident, Jen Ayerst dressing up as Margaret Thatcher and Jonathan Bufton & Dave Baker impersonating the Chuckle Brothers. The popular hit parade tune "Milkshake" was also involved somewhere along the line.

There was a talk from Paul Cornell, whose episode of the revived Doctor Who was about to go into production, and someone who wanted to take over distribution of student TV stations.

The first night saw a pub quiz and the second a trip to the club "Mercy" in the city centre. After we all texted the big screen in the club we received spam texts for months afterwards informing us of which minor celeb was visiting that week. The final night was the awards, which saw an incredible four awards for The Music Show, Small Screen, Elections 2003's title seqeunce and the Ocean ident.

There was some criticism of this NaSTA, mainly because of the high price and because there was little to do during the day. Because of this there were big changes planned for NaSTA 2005...
