[[Image:JellyBabies.png|thumb|right|Chris, Kate and jelly babies]] | |||
Thought to be the first attempting at explaining the YUSU voting system, this starred [[Chris Kwouk]] as Professor Humpy explaining the way votes were counted to [[Kate Gordon]] through the use of jelly babies. This was reused in for [[YUSU Elections 1996]]. | |||
==The Simpsons Version (2000)== | |||
This was presented by {{unsure|Ben ??}} and was filmed in Derwent Dining Hall. It featured balloons to represent the candidates. Clips from [[The Simpsons]] were used to illustrate. It may have been reused for a number of years afterwards. | |||
==[[Michael Prior-Jones]] Version (2003)== | |||
For [[Elections 2003]] Michael re-filmed the above in YSTV's studio (the tape of the original had decayed somewhat, and Derwent Dining Hall had been re-decorated), complete with balloons and the same clips as before - this time cropped to eliminate the Sky One logo! This version was also used for 2004's programme. | |||
==Star Wars Version (2005)== | |||
Fitting in with that year's Star Wars theme to elections, [[Jen Ayerst]] and [[Anthony Laverty]] filmed another balloon-laden VT, this time representing Star Wars characters. | |||
==Current Version (2006 onwards)== | |||
The current version was masterminded by [[Sarah Leese]] in 2006, and starred [[Vanky]], Ed the Duck, Sweep, Selbysaurus, Margaret Thatcher and Neil Kinnock. The latter 5 were represented by glove puppets (Ed, Sweep), small stuffed dinosaurs (Selbysaurus), and [[Kev Larkin]]'s slippers (Margaret, Neil). | The current version was masterminded by [[Sarah Leese]] in 2006, and starred [[Vanky]], Ed the Duck, Sweep, Selbysaurus, Margaret Thatcher and Neil Kinnock.
