The first incarnation of the show was produced and presented by Chris Stones and had a set including the obligatory [[black drapes]] but also the show's name cut out of perspex, a very post-modern coffee table and some inflatable beanbags.  The show also had a nifty title sequence showing arty places around York.  Chris had previously presented a sardonic arts round-up in [[Bulletin]] and this was essentially an expanded version of this.  It reviewed films, plays, musical peformances and anything that took their fancy.

It had a set with the show's name cut out of perspex, a very post-modern coffee table, some inflatable beanbags and a lava lampAll backed by some velvet, purple drapes the station had been donated - sadly YSTV's ageing cameras couldn't do purple and the result was the visual equivalent of the standard [[black drapes]].
It also had a nifty title sequence showing arty places around York, themed graphics, menus and VT insertsMusic was specially composed by [[Paul Soulsby]].
 
The show was presented by [[Chris Stones]] who had previously fronted a sardonic arts round-up in [[Bulletin (again)|Bulletin]] and this was essentially an expanded version of this.  Each episode Chris was joined by various reviewers who jointly discussed films, plays, musical peformances and anything that took their fancy.
Contributers included [[Helen Wardlaw]], [[Anne Seymour]] and [[Thea Darricotte]].
 
Unusually for YSTV at this time, the show wasn't broadcast live.  It was recorded largely as-live with a few edits made in post production.
 
Sadly, the producer's graduation in summer 2000 meant this version of The Review managed only two episodes!
