Election Night Live 87 was produced (and presented) by [[John Cornley]] and [[Steve Marinker]].  It was the first election night to be broadcast in colour.

It was broadcast mostly on location in Goodricke College and featured a large number of elements.  [[Steve Marinker]] was links presenter for the entire evening.  There was a panel of hacks and candidates, an interview set, a graphics presenter, live cameras in the dining hall, an "outspoken" commentator in the Physics concourse and a segment called "Let's Go To Bed" (introduced by a short sting of The Cure's song of the same name).  This was a set with a bed where over-the-top interviews with candidates and YUSU-types would be conducted, some five years away of a similar concept being used on The Big Breakfast.
