In October 2004 [[Tom Hughes]] left to devote more time to [[URY]] where he was now Programme Controller.  After a rigorous, televised audition process he was replaced by [[Kate Rushworth]].  He did make a number of returns to the show however - firstly in the elbaorate EastEnders spoof in the Spring 2005 Week 8 show, and then a number of times in the summer term including as a crew member, Eurovision correspondent and presenting again on the final show.

After 24 shows the programme finished (due to the graduation of the presenters) on 29th June 2005 with an impressively self-indulgent programme of highlights of the two years, hosted by all three presenters, complete with limp 49p balloons from CostCutter.  There was also a countdown of the top five shows reviews (won by Monkey Dust) and the worst five (won by Mad About Alice).  The final scene, filmed outside Television Centre during the stoic visit, implied the programme was actually moving to be produced by the [[BBC]], with a "to be continued..." caption.  Curiously Kate (as of 2007) works at the BBC Motion Gallery and so is a regular in White City, however Jonathan (somewhat ironically) now works for ITV.

The Gallery remained in the corner of the YSTV studio for two years after the end of the programme before being removed by Jonathan during the YSTV40 [[Birthday Party]] weekend, in an attempt to better preserve the photo cards collected (many of which were by now continuously falling off the wall).

Part of the celebratory YSTV40 [[40th/Children In Need Show 2007|broadcast]] in November 2007 was given over to interviewing past members about their memories of their time at YSTV.  Jonathan and Tom were interviewed together by [[Sarah Cheyne]] about their time presenting Small Screen and to introduce the section the closing section of the final edition of the show was re-screened, complete with goodbyes, the "best of" compilation and ending with the aforementioned "to be continued..." caption.  It was then revealed that the presenters did indeed go on to work for the [[BBC]] until an unfortunate editing incident involving the Queen and her crown...
