YSTV members spent {{unsure|a week}} in a hostel in the city centre, visiting a variety of places including the Guinness factory, a zoo (which many felt was a bit crap due to it having very few animals), and an old prison. They also saw a memorial to Oscal Wilde known as "the fag on the crag", another memorial to Dermot Morgan and an amazing pub that served pints of Smirnoff Ice. [[Jonathan]] commented on a stature commemorating the potato famine, "Where are all the potatoes?!". Ahem. | ||
The programme was edited by [[Jen Ayerst]] and featured a [[Steve Walker]] computer generated title sequence. | |||

With a short deadline, a few UK options were floated, before we decided on [[Rowan de Pomerai]]'s suggestion of going to... Yorkshire! This was actually a very good idea as we'd save money by being able to sleep in our own beds every night, and see bits of the region we'd never got around to - such as a day in Scarborough, visits to the ''York Dungeon'', Bradford's ''National Museum of Photography Film and Television'', ''The Deep'' in Hull, York Minster, a boat trip down the Ouse and the York Brewery. | ||
This programme was edited by [[Rowan de Pomerai]] and featured a popular title sequence which introduced the people by using unflattering video clips of them and a swanky black and white posterised sort of effect. | |||

The crew consisted of [[Richard Ash]], [[Dave Baker]], [[Rob Humphrey]], [[Rick Selby]] and [[Matthew Tole]] who were experienced canal cruisers; and [[Sarah Cheyne]], [[Rowan de Pomerai]], [[Kev Larkin]], [[Sarah Leese]] and [[Ian Martindale]] who were more fresh-faced. | |||
Starting and ending at Norbury, the crew took the ring on clockwise. | |||
Notable moments included: | |||
* Pirates on the first day | |||
* Washing and styling Rob's hair | |||
* Writing messages on an unsuspecting (and asleep) Ian's back in lipstick | |||
* Matthew finding the 50% Vodka a little strong and revealing his PIN for his switch card | |||
* Running out of water on more than one occasion... | |||
* Nuts magazine, and the walrus | |||
A standalone programme wasn't made from this holiday - instead short segments were included in [[Limited Edition]], which were edited by [[Sarah Cheyne]]. |
