It must also be noted that Thomas is one of the most lovely, kind, hardworking and modest individuals to have ever been part of YSTV.

Around this time during winter 2019/20, Thomas established a new recurring live programme with [[Boozy Broadcasts]]. This live studio show featured a bunch of drunk YSTV members coming together after the weekly meeting in the [[YSTV studio]] to participate in different games or competitions. The most notable instalment of this new series was ''Drunk Drivers''; an epic Mario Kart tournament in which most of the station's members participated. All in costume, of course. | Around this time during winter 2019/20, Thomas established a new recurring live programme with [[Boozy Broadcasts]].

With the beginning of 2020, Thomas was forced to become less involved in active YSTV productions - partially due to the realisation that he might actually have to work for his degree, and partially due to [[edit hell]] bursting at the seams. Most of his work during this term was focused on [[NaSTA 2020]], which was quickly approaching. In a desperate attempt to finish as many productions as possible in time for the deadline, Thomas got heavily involved in their post-production. At several occasions, he was even known to live and sleep in the [[YSTV studio]] for multiple days in a row - even though that was very much going against the policy he had been involved in establishing himself. Despite this time period proving to be exhausting and stressful, Thomas managed to complete work on [[YSTV does Hunted - Episode 2]], [[The FetSocDoc]], [[Robbing Chloe]] and the [[Best Broadcaster]] showreel just in time (the last file was uploaded roughly seven minutes before the deadline). Soon after, [[YSTV does Hunted]] and [[The FetSocDoc]] were officially released to notable success and positive feedback. | With the beginning of 2020, Thomas was forced to become less involved in active YSTV productions - partially due to the realisation that he might actually have to work for his degree, and partially due to [[edit hell]] bursting at the seams.

Just a few days later, the UK experienced the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which quickly seemed to grind any kind of YSTV activity to a hold. Luckily, Thomas and several other committee members acted quickly and raided the studio of its edit PCs and equipment to keep the group operational without studio access. In fact, Thomas was the last to leave the studio before it was closed off. | Just a few days later, the UK experienced the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which quickly seemed to grind any kind of YSTV activity to a hold.

| Headed up the massive crew for the second instalment in the series. With 12 cameras, over 37 hours of combined footage, and complex 2D and 3D animations, this video grew to be the largest editing job YSTV had ever taken on. The show, in which Thomas took part as lead hunter, was filmed in early November, and was released after several straight weeks of work in February, just in time to still be admissible for [[NaSTA 2020]]. Besides editing the 32-minute long episode, Thomas also created the 2D map animations and came up with the concept for the intro sequence. At [[NaSTA 2020]], this production won awards for ''Best Post-Production'' and for ''Best Title Sequence''. | | Headed up the massive crew for the second instalment in the series.
