	The week 6 edition of the summer 2004 run of the show was cancelled due to the workload of the presenters and the lack of anything inspiring to review on TV. It was replaced by [[Matthew Platts]] gamely reviewing clips from YSTV shows from the past in his unique style, sitting behind the [[YSTV Week]] desk, filmed by one static camera. The Small Screen opening titles were used but this programme was not regarded as part of the run of the show due to the wildly differing style and content, and was not often repeated. It is thought to no longer exist - and this is certainly no bad thing. The idea of commenting on past YSTV output would however become part of the show from November 2004 in YSTV Gold.

He said the hosts were "very knowledgable" and that he would like to see a show like this on proper telly. After this, every mention of Dead Ringers on the show was glowing. This win changed Jonathan's motivation to produce the show, as what had previously been somewhat of a chore produced to give the station something to transmit became something that was (apparently) not bad at all and worth spending more time putting together. Sadly despite (or because?) of a lot more production being put into the show throughout 2004 and 2005 the show didn't win the category the following year, but received praise from the judge (CBBC's Gemma Hunt) and based on points awarded came third, just missing out on a "Highly Commended" certificate.

	Small Screen was conceived as a "filler show" running alternate Tuesdays with [[Bona Dicta]], in the autumn term in which the [[Gang of Four]] ran the station, in order to give freshers something to crew and take part in. The set was pretty similar to [[Bona Dicta]] - [[black drapes]] and a panel with a presenter. The original intention was that different people would be members of the panel each week, and the presenter would also ~~change~~. However due to lack of interest producer [[Jonathan Bufton]] and his housemate [[Tom Hughes]] had to step in to make up the panel. The first edition (11th November 2003) was presented by [[Lydia Haddrell]], and the second by Graham Ruddick. For the third, the presenter didn't turn up and so Jonathan and Tom hosted the show themselves. ~~The~~ rest is history!		Small Screen was conceived as a "filler show" running alternate Tuesdays with [[Bona Dicta]], in the autumn term in which the [[Gang of Four]] ran the station, in order to give freshers something to crew and take part in. The initial set was pretty similar to [[Bona Dicta]] - [[black drapes]] and a panel with a presenter, mainly due to lack of ideas for anything else. The original intention was that different people would be members of the panel each week, and the presenter would also be rotated. However due to lack of interest producer [[Jonathan Bufton]] and his housemate [[Tom Hughes]] had to step in to make up the panel. The first edition (11th November 2003) was presented by [[Lydia Haddrell]], and the second by Graham Ruddick. For the third, the presenter didn't turn up and so Jonathan and Tom hosted the show themselves, introducing the clips as well as discussing them. This format was retained after this show and the rest is history!

	The format didn't change much over the two years, usually consisting of three or four clips of three of four TV programmes - both good and bad - transmitted that fortnight being reviewed and commented on. The first programme to be reviewed was the last ever edition of Brookside, and the last was, er, ChuckleVision. In January 2004 the set was changed - or more accurately dispensed with. The programme was presented "behind the scenes" at YSTV, starting off in the control room and moving into the studio, using whatever set was in place (and what was behind the cameras) and occasionely venturing out in the corridors of Goodricke. Handheld camera operators were used, as were the security cameras around the station. This allowed the show to look a lot more fluid than the usual YSTV "three locked-off cameras" approach. The title sequence remained unchanged throughout - scrolling TV screens showing recordings from Sky Digital one afternoon, produced by [[Dave Baker]]. The theme tune was Mint Royale - Shake Me (from the album On The Ropes), changed ~~for~~ copyright ~~reasons~~ in February 2005 to some far inferior library music.

The first programme to be reviewed was the last ever edition of Brookside, and the last was, er, ChuckleVision. In January 2004, coinciding with the new dual format presenting style, the set was changed - or more accurately dispensed with. The programme was presented "behind the scenes" at YSTV, starting off in the control room and moving into the studio, using whatever set was left in place (and what was behind the cameras) and occasionely (if the cables were long enough) venturing out in the corridors of Goodricke. Handheld camera operators were used, as were the security cameras installed around the station the year previously. This allowed the show to look a lot more fluid than the usual YSTV "three locked-off cameras" approach, and also ensure that nothing was "hidden" from the viewer.

Later in The Gallery, the presenters wrote to many TV programmes claiming to be a fan, and received over 70 signed postcards in response (most notably the entire cast of BBC Scotland's River City and three photos from Dot Cotton).

			==YSTV40==
			Part of the celebratory YSTV40 [[40th/Children In Need Show 2007\|broadcast]] in November 2007 was given over to interviewing past members about their memories of their time at YSTV. Jonathan and Tom were interviewed together by [[Sarah Cheyne]] about their time presenting Small Screen and to introduce the section the closing section of the final edition of the show was re-screened, complete with goodbyes, the "best of" compilation and ending with the aforementioned "to be continued..." caption. It was then revealed that the presenters did indeed go on to work for the [[BBC]] until an unfortunate editing incident involving the Queen and her crown...

	Small Screen was conceived as a "filler show" running alternate Tuesdays with [[Bona Dicta]], in the autumn term in which the [[Gang of Four]] ran the station, in order to give freshers something to crew and take part in. The set was pretty similar to [[Bona Dicta]] - [[black drapes]] and a panel with a presenter. The original intention was that different people would be members of the panel each week, and the presenter would also change. However due to lack of interest producer [[Jonathan Bufton]] and his housemate [[Tom Hughes]] had to step in to make up the panel. The first edition (11th November 2003) was presented by Lydia Haddrell, and the second by Graham Ruddick. For the third, the presenter didn't turn up and so Jonathan and Tom hosted the show themselves. The rest is history!
