Usually the challenged must complete the task ready for the next show and either perform it live on the show, produce a VT or both. Challenges set were: | ||

* Episode 2 - Rowan had been challenged by Sarah to learn Hamlet's ''To be or not to be...'' solliloqy, and performed it live on episode 2 in the style of Tony Blair. Before the performance itself (in which Rowan made 2 mistakes) there was a short video diary style VT which showed Rowan learning the speech. [[Matthew Tole]] helped film this, while Rowan did the very cheesy editing for it. | * Episode 2 - Rowan had been challenged by Sarah to learn Hamlet's ''To be or not to be...'' solliloqy, and performed it live on episode 2 in the style of Tony Blair.

* Episode 5 - A VT (filmed by Rowan, edited by Sarah) showed Sarah running around campus trying to get 7 different people to say the phrase "Hello, you're watching Limited Edition on YSTV" in 7 diffrerent languages. Some controversy surrounded the fact that many of them failed to actually translate "Limited Edition" and/or "YSTV". | * Episode 5 - A VT (filmed by Rowan, edited by Sarah) showed Sarah running around campus trying to get 7 different people to say the phrase "Hello, you're watching Limited Edition on YSTV" in 7 diffrerent languages.

* Episode 6 - Rowan and [[Claire Butler]] performed the Limited Edition song which they had composed. They were very out of time (the backing track was way too quiet in the studio) but it was quite funny. The tune of Kylie Minogue's ''I Should Be So Lucky'' has never been put to such good use. | * Episode 6 - Rowan and [[Claire Butler]] performed the Limited Edition song which they had composed.

Seb from Juggling Soc taught him 2 manouvers using poi - the butterfly and the weave. A few genital-endangering accidents and a couple of hours later, and the filming moved from Goodricke Dining Hall to Vanbrugh Bowl for the final performance with fire poi - long chains with flaming blocks of kevlar on the end. Fire spinning in the dark was an impressive sight. Uniquely, the Odd Soc interviewee was connected to the challenge on Episode 8, as Seb came in to talk about Juggling Soc and the fire spinning challenge. | ||
* Episode 9 - Sarah had been set the task of building a sandcastle likeness of the Houses of Parliament. One of the stipulations was to get it identified by a passer-by, to prove that the resemblance was good enough. However Sarah sunk to new lows and cheated an lied, telling the girls in question what it was supposed to be and asking them to pretend to guess wrongly a couple of times first in order to look genuine. The guilty looks on Sarah and Mark's faces in response to Rowan's question "did they get it? without telling them?" gave away the betrayal, and Rowan was shocked and upset.

He took the piss out of Sarah on the show, introducing the start of the programme with ''Hello, you're watching Limited Edition, with Rowan de Pomerai and Sarah Cheat... I mean Cheyne''. It was however nothing more than she deserved. | ||
* Episode 10 - Rowan and Sarah were given a joint challenge by Mark and Matthew. They were sent on a treasure hunt around campus, solving anagrams of the names of the places to visit. The cards on which the clues were weritten has 2 letters on the back, and could be arranged to spell the words "Limited Edition" once they had all been collected. The trail went Roger Kirk -> Central Hall -> Vanbrugh Paradie (due to a spelling error by Mark!) -> Market Square -> Nightline -> SU Building -> YSTV Studio. | * Episode 10 - Rowan and Sarah were given a joint challenge by Mark and Matthew.

One of the central features of the show, and a direct rip-off of Top Gear's ''Star In A Reasonably Priced Car'', this feature sees the Odd Socs guest each week being asked to record a lap time driving the show's remote controlled car. The track was constructed once a term with the guests each recording a lap, and their time being revealed when they appeared on the show. Both Rowan and Sarah also recorded times, and a benchmark was set by tame racing driver 'The Twig' - a certain YSTV member dressed in full karting gear.

The track was constructed once a term with the guests each recording a lap, and their time being revealed when they appeared on the show. (This meant guests for the whole term had to be lined up well in advance so that their laps could be filmed). Both Rowan and Sarah also recorded times, and a benchmark was set by tame racing driver 'The Twig' - a certain [[The Twig|YSTV member]] dressed in full karting gear. Rowan's time was significantly better than Sarah's! An extra second was added to the contestant's time for each bollard knocked over. The Christmas episode also saw a certain YSTV [[Production Director]] dressed up as Santa having a go. | ||

* Pizza Challenge - the first (and best?) Food Cheyne had a large margherita and a bottle of coke being ordered from 3 of York's takeaways (Efes, Ali Gs and Pizza Planet). The food was delivered live on air, with the show being interrupted for the deliveries. The pizza was reviewed and the time noted. Efes were fastest (12 minutes) and provided good, hot pizza.

After some shocking filling at the end of the show whilst waiting for Pizza Planet to arrive, the presenters gave up, and vowed never to order from Pizza Planet again.

Everyone on the crew (except those needed to run end credits) came on set to share in the food at the end, giving a nice warm fuzzy end to the Christmas show. | ||
* Student Food - in a two-part feature, Rowan and Sarah each cooked a 3 course meal for under £1.50. Rowan cooked tomato and garlic spaghetti followed by cheese omlette and salad, finished with choc ice and banana. Sarah warmed up a tin of soup, made a tomato and mushroom pasta and finished with apple and natural yoghurt. | * Student Food - in a two-part feature, Rowan and Sarah each cooked a 3 course meal for under £1.50.

Through the Summer term, viewers were invited to send in pictures of limited edition products. This was inspired by [[Jonathan Bufton]]'s sighting of Domestos giving away a free limited edition apron - he was disappointed to hear that the apron was not actually branded with the Limited Edition logo. The winner was [[Sarah Leese]], for her picture of a limited edition Miffy plate and bowl set. Both Sarah and Jonathan got a Limited Edition box set for winning.

They very simply filmed themselves finger painting each other in YSTV's studio. Sarah's picture of Rowan is notable for the fact that Rowan's clothes are see-through, while both participants signed their creations, complete with their age, in the style of a primary school art class. | ||

For Episode 8, Rowan and Sarah headed out about campus to record some vox pops, speaking to random students about topics such as who should run the country (Jon Snow, Jordan, Bob Geldof, a midget...), how to teach kids to be happy, what should be banned in public (displays of affection, chavs...) and what's best about summer (drinking in the day). | For Episode 8, Rowan and Sarah headed out about campus to record some vox pops, speaking to random students about topics such as who should run the country (Jon Snow, Jordan, Bob Geldof, a midget...), how to teach kids to be happy, what should be banned in public (displays of affection, chavs...) and what's best about summer (drinking in the day). | ||

Another childish make-and-do, Rowan and Sarah built dolls houses for Madge, the pound shop doll with Madonna-esque pointy boobies. Rowan's 2-storey house was well protected, with weather proofing all round and an insulated roof, and had design features including a patio, pictures on the walls, and an integrated disco. (Made of the bottoms from flashing LED shot glasses, given away free at freshers fair) Sarah's house was smaller and had a roof which fell off at the slightest touch, however she won the design vote based on her girly pink wallpaper. Sarah's house also won the earthquake test, with the height of Rowan's house being problematic.

Sarah's house also won the earthquake test, with the height of Rowan's house being problematic. Rowan's exterior was better rain protected, but the lack of any overhang on the roof meant too much water got inside, leading to a draw with Sarah's dry inside but dangerously soggy cardboard walls. Wind proved no problem to either house (or at least simulated wind made from Sarah's rubbish fan didn't), leading to an overall win for Sarah. | ||

(They tried to destroy a Toyota Hilux, in case you were wondering). The car survived rain, mud, being driven down steps, being driven off Central Hall, being thrown out of a window, driving through fire, having a PC dropped on it, being set on fire, and finally being run over with a real car! (Belonging to [[Matt Fullerton]]). In the end, it was bent and battered, with the right wheels not working at all and the left ones going forwards only, but it ''did'' still drive...round in circles. It was presented to Ben Griffiths as a trophy for being the fastest ''Star''. | ||
===Highlights=== | ===Highlights=== | ||
For the last episode, Matthew edited a VT of highlights from the last year, set to 2 pieces of music: ''It's Hard To Believe'' from High School Musical, and ''Don't Leave'' by Faithless. This VT was originally going to be edited by Rowan, who chose the Faithless track as a heart-wrenching closer designed to make the audience nostalgic and possibly even make Sarah a little upset. However Matthew suggested that it would be good if he edited the VT and neither Rowan nor Sarah saw it before the show. This proved to backfire thoroughly on Rowan, who ended up a little tearful after seeing the VT, and thoroughly embarrassed himself on air. At least the Faithless did it's job! | For the last episode, Matthew edited a VT of highlights from the last year, set to 2 pieces of music: ''It's Hard To Believe'' from High School Musical, and ''Don't Leave'' by Faithless.
