Weather had been attempted before on YSTV's news output - most memorably on location with [[Chris Ward]] during the [[Bulletin]] era, where he would turn up in a variety of locations with primitive 1970s BBC-style stick on symbols, including once in the Goodricke lift.  Other times primitive on-screen graphics were attempted, with even some basic [[chroma key]] at one point.  By the end of Bulletin however the weather was a verbal read-through of the forecast.  This changed with the arrival of YSTV's [[chroma key]] mixed.  Initially the weather was presented from a green board mounted on a set board, using [[Ed Jellard]]'s WeatherEd programme.  Images were usually stolen from the BBC's weather website.  From January 2004 a whole wall of the studio was painted green, which made the set up far easier.  Later [[Drew Perry]] wrote a programme that produced YSTV's own weather graphics, entitled WeatherDrew.

==Spin-offs and Specials==
*Term highlights programmes were produced in December 2003 and 2004.  These were presented differently to the normal show in that the
editor of the programme at the time linked clips together from around the YSTV studio and control room.
*A top up fees special was hosted one Tuesday night in January 2004.  The parliament vote on the introduction of top-up fees was due to be announced just after [[Bona Dicta]] finished so it was decided to stay on air and produce a special live programme on the announcement, using BBC Parliament as a feed.  The programme had a large number of viewers in the bars around campus and was notable for getting the results of the vote on screen quicker than BBC News 24!
*Greg Dyke's in-depth interview in the YSTV studio in May 2006 was intially expected to be edited as a news item but was so lengthy that it became a programme in its own right.  This also featured "behind the scenes" material.
*A spoof edition of the programme was made by [[Sarah Leese]] in shortly after the end of the show's regular production in May 2006 satirising many elements of the show.
