WoodenSpoon was [[Michael Prior-Jones]]' cookery show, done in a Blue Peter-ish sort of style. Michael wrote, presented and directed it. This was intended to be a serious cooking programme, unlike the [[Cooking With]] series that preceeded it. | WoodenSpoon was [[Michael Prior-Jones]]' cookery show, done in a Blue Peter-ish sort of style.

The programme has a reputation as being cursed in some way, as it never really got filmed satisfactorily after five attempts! | ||

Returning to the scene of our former failure in the summer term of 2000 (it was [[Roses]] weekend, I think), we again rigged up the kit in James and used [[John Biltcliffe]]'s shiny new Pinnacle editing system to capture the video directly to hard disk. This time it did all record, although for reasons I can't fully recall it was never edited. | Returning to the scene of our former failure in the summer term of 2000 (it was [[Roses]] weekend, I think), we again rigged up the kit in James and used [[John Biltcliffe]]'s shiny new Pinnacle editing system to capture the video directly to hard disk.

The concept of student cooking was used when in June 2000 YSTV were invited down to The Big Breakfast. With the chance to compete for 90 seconds of national airtime, YSTV proposed to bring student cooking to the masses. Unfortunately the Bournemouth student TV station C6 beat them to the slot, so once again [[Michael Prior-Jones]] didn't get to show off his cooking skills on TV. The visit was chronicled in [[YSTV Does It Bigger]]. | |||

This was much later - in February 2003. The show was shot on a Saturday morning at [[Lorna Mitchell]]'s shared house near the Victoria Hotel. The multi-camera approach was done away with in favour of some careful planning and a single DV camera, operated by [[Andrew Talbot]], and with [[Jonathan Bufton]] on sound. There were some quite inventive attempts at credits, with Michael and Jonathan spelling their names out in Lorna's alphabet fridge magnets and mixing them up, and later reversing the footage! | |||
Andrew edited the show together, but unfortunately due to a muddle with the sound mixing the background music was mixed too loudly and the result is quite hard to understand. | |||

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! | 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.
