For the rest of autumn term, Thomas' work centred around presenting several [[YSTV Reports]] videos and the key productions of [[Lost]] (for which he teamed up with [[Matthew Zeffertt]] and once again promptly lost), [[YSTV does Hunted - Episode 2]] and [[Please Sir, There's Been A Murder]]. The later evolved out of an initial idea by [[The Dynamic Duo]] and a concept by [[Jacob Boyle]] and became the world's first live interactive drama. Together with his co-producer and co-director [[Stephanie Shires|Steph]], he assembled cast and crew and spent the last weeks of the term plus an additional December week figuring out how to broadcast the production from Steph's house. He was mainly in charge of figuring out camera positions, the movement of cast and crew around the set and directing actors. During the actual live show, Thomas worked as vision engineer (which was necessary, because they had too many video inputs to vision mix).

His second pet project for the term was the second episode of [[YSTV does Hunted]]. Together with former contestant [[Andrew Waddle]], Thomas planned on taking the concept by [[Edwin Barnes]] and expanding it massively by introducing three additional teams and running the game for longer. YSTV seemed to love the idea, and a large crew of both old and new members ended up getting involved.

The show was ultimately shot during a November Saturday and then went straight into [[edit hell]].


Just a few days later, the UK experienced the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which quickly seemed to grind any kind of YSTV activity to a hold. Luckily, Thomas and several other committee members acted quickly and raided the studio of its edit PCs and equipment to keep the group operational without studio access. In fact, Thomas was the last to leave the studio before it was closed off.
