In January 2000, flushed with enthusiasm and spurred on by [[Chris Parker]], a bunch of us dragged a whole load of YSTV kit to the then new-and-shiny James College L block and filmed the show in Michael's kitchen. The equipment used was two Panasonic F10 cameras, the Panasonic MS4 and the Polarvideo vision mixer. [[Kevin Bowman]]'s bedroom, being next door to the kitchen, was used as the control room - the camera cables were fed out of the kitchen window and back in through the bedroom window.

It took all morning to set up (mostly because we didn't understand how to genlock the cameras) and we then recorded it in the afternoon. It failed to actually record because someone hadn't connected the VHS player correctly, so we got a tape that had sound but no pictures.

It failed to actually record because someone had connected the vision mixer directly to the monitor and the VHS recorder to itself, so we got a tape that had sound but no pictures.

A final attempt to produce WoodenSpoon was made in April 2004, after Michael had graduated, by [[Jen Ayerst]], filmed in [[Jonathan Bufton]]'s kitchen usual similar methods as attempt three.  However the food didn't really cook very well, the presenter was nervous and it was never edited.  Maybe one day someone will do the idea justice!

==Big Breakfast==
The concept of student cooking was used when in 2000 YSTV were invited down to The Big Breakfast.  With the chance to compete to 90 seconds of national airtime, YSTV proposed to bring student cooking to the masses.  Unfortunately the Bournemouth student TV station beat them to the slot, so once again  [[Michael Prior-Jones]] never got to show off his cooking skills on TV.
