To give the show a breakfasty, summery feel it was planned to present the show from YSTV's new [[sofa]] on the grass outside the control room, with contingency plans to put it in front of the [[YSTV Week]] set should there be rain. Luckily the weather didn't disappoint, but presenting outside didn't come without its problems. A large sheet of chipboard had to be placed underneath the sofa to stop it sinking, and after about half an hour on air the rising sun caused the pre-arranged camera angles to be rendered useless by glare from the sun. During the regional news VT this was rectified with the hi-tech use of sheets of A4 paper taped to the cameras! | To give the show a breakfasty, summery feel it was planned to present the show from YSTV's new [[sofa]] on the grass outside the control room, with contingency plans to put it in front of the [[YSTV Week]] set should there be rain.

In the last half hour of the show things began to conspire against the production...firstly the university's giant grass-cutter-van-thing started roaring around Goodricke, meaning the links had to be shouted and there was a very real possibility we'd have to come off air early should they demand to cut the grass outside the station. | In the last half hour of the show things began to conspire against the production...firstly the university's giant grass-cutter-van-thing started roaring around Goodricke, meaning the links had to be shouted and there was a very real possibility we'd have to come off air early should they demand to cut the grass outside the station. Secondly, the playout computer froze at the moment a VT was due to be played out leaving the presenters filling for a couple of minutes while it was reset. Finally, outgoing SU Welfare Officer John Rose had agreed to be interviewed at the end of the programme, and caused a huge panic off-air when he didn't turn up until one minute before his slot was due on. Luck however was shining on us and the show finally went off air at 9.29am as planned, with the crew heading over to the Roger Kirk Centre for breakfast. | ||
The show was repeated all week and is still available to watch on the YSTV Watch Online site. It was also [[Kat Sutton]]'s final appearance on YSTV. | The show was repeated all week and is still available to watch on the YSTV Watch Online site.
