The Review has had three different incarnations on YSTV.  Whilst they were essentially continuations of the same idea they were all very different from each other and produced by different teams.

The first incarnation of the show was 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!

==2003 Version==
In Autumn 2003 new member Kate Friend expressed a desire to revive the show, which would this time primarily be a film review programme but did include roundups from the drama barn too.  The original title sequence was going to be used until [[Nik Morris]] came up with a new, cartoony sequence.  It was presented by {{unsure|Natalie Someone}} and edited by fresher [[Rowan de Pomerai]].  This team produced a number of editions over the Autumn and Spring terms of 2003/4.  One edition also marked the first appearances of [[Vanky]] and [[Anthony Laverty]] on YSTV as pundits.  This incarnation ground to a halt when Kate and Natalie had too much work to carry it on.
