It followed on from 1996's very similar [[The Panel]]. The format remained unchanged for most of the run - four campus hacks or politicians, sitting round a table talking about union politics. The programme was designed to be screened just before Tuesday's fortnightly Union General Meeting, and would discuss the agenda. The set was very basic - the table was a circular bit of wood balanced on stools and [[black drapes]] were placed around the back of the studio as a backdrop. | ||
The first title sequence was by [[Graham Quince]], in which a broken compass reassembled, animated on the [[Commodore Amiga]] (it was a complete rip off of the titles of a cool legal drama at the time called Murder One). | |||
Some recordings of the programme didn't have a title (or closing) sequence - it started on a full frame graphic which just mixed through to the studio. | |||
At the start of 1999, an attempt was made to give the show a bit more production. A title sequence consisting of UGM footage and talking heads was made by [[Chris Ward]] accompanied by a new version of the old [[Week by Week]] theme music digitally recreated by [[Paul Soulsby]]. This title sequence was used for nearly five years, which may be the longest time title sequence has been used so regularly on YSTV. The closing credits included footage from that evening's show - making use of the new Mac edit suite that had recently been acquired. | At the start of 1999, an attempt was made to give the show a bit more production.
