			Back in the station things were slowly coming together, as ever there were one or two oversights that had to be resolved on the fly such as where do we plumb in the VHS recorder to record the Bands output! When faced with the question of where he should stick the VHS machine by a newbie, [[Andy Robinson]] showed a remarkable degree of control by not bludgeoning the first year to death with the said machine.

And so at 19:20 the call went out to see if everyone was ready, and whilst the reponse wasn't the most resounding the title sequence for CIN 96 began to roll, 20 minutes later than scheduled!

	And so it came to pass that Volunteers were asked to step up and take responsibility for the 1996 CIN production. When the call went out two people answered; [[Clare Mace]] would handle the production side of the evening and [[Chris Parker]] (making his second appearance as a first year) would handle the XLR and BNC side of the event.

	The last station meeting before the event revealed a few more holes in the running order but hey there wasn't a lot we could do, besides we had come off the back of [[Election Night 1996]] a show which contained an additional 5 hours of unplanned and unscripted content.

	After retiring to Goodricke Bar for Port and Cigars comment was passed to the bar maid Maureen on how busy it would be on Friday.

			===T Minus 1 Day===

			Twas the night before CIN and all was quiet, well apart from [[Chris Parker]], [[Sophie Dennis]], [[Andy Robinson]] and [[John Barratt]] being entrenched is debates over the positioning of camera towers and sound desks and what would happen when the title sequence started to roll (Think of a scene from the West Wing and you'll get the picture). The atmosphere from a few days ago of 'it all be alright on the night' was replaced with genuine concern that despite the best efforts of Clare, Chris, Sophie, Andy and John the programme could come crashing down around our ears. Planning continued through the night or at least until the collective stress levels had decreased to mild panic.

	For Children in Need 1996, YSTV organised a band night in Goodricke dining room, featuring two campus bands - {{unsure\|Sevenball and Brubaker}}.

[[Graham Quince]] took repsonsibility for the first hours content with a pastiche of Friends entitled Buddies (Note: look at the date Graham came up with this in 1996 way before his Geordie mates, Ant & Dec, did it on their saturday morning show with the vastly inferior Chums) starring [[Debbie Rule]], [[Clare Bowley]] and [[John Barratt]]. So with the MS4 being used to film the title sequence to Buddies and Graham applying his Clement and LeFrenais writing skills to the script people began to breathe a little easier.

			Children in Need (CIN) 96 was much more than just a 4 hour live show featuring bands, rip-offs of Friends and custard pies it encapsualted everything that YSTV is about.

			==The Build Up==

			Often seen as a poor relation to its often more complex Election Night (EN), CIN is actually a great proving ground for those people who go on to produce the epic beast that is EN and the first opportunity for all those new members to experience the often organised chaos that goes hand in hand with YSTV's large braodcasting events.

			And so it came to pass that Volunteers were asked to step up and take responsibility for the 1996 CIN production. When the call went out two people answered; [[Clare Mace]] would handle the production side of the evening and [[Chris Parker]] (making his second appearance as a first year) would handle the XLR and BNC side of the event.

			===The Plan===

			Now as we all know trying to fill even a 30 minutes news show is difficult enough so coming up with 4 hours of content based soley on CIN is a tricky affair. However the genius of the plan for CIN 96 came when we linked up with RAG and YUSU Ents and organised a charity campus band night. This meant that the amount of YSTV produced content could be significantly reduced as the directors could cut to the events unfolding in the dining room.

			However with a live event now needing to be filmed a 2nd production unit was required, up stepped [[Owain Davies]] to take care of the filming and integration with the feed from YUSU Ents obscenely large sound desk.

			Expectations of the live event were low as campus music events traditionally had a very low turnout but this would be the biggest CIN to date.

			===T minus 4 Weeks ish===

			The live music event was taking shape with Clare working wonders in managing to book a wide selection of campus bands who all agreed to play for free (well it was for charity), getting YUSU's doorsafe reps to manage the security and having RAG work the door and look after the takings.

			Now organising a major campus music event is a difficult enough task but along with a 4 hour live show could be said to be stretching even the most experienced BBC Producer. So to help take the pressure off Clare [[Sophie Dennis]] started to direct the stations attention to the YSTV produced content.
