In a spooky bit of prescience (see the [[Interregnum]]), the control room was uprooted to [[G/046]] for the Election Night programme. (At that time G/046 was something to do with the Psychology department, with lots of bizarre wooden ceiling-height cubicles. We set up our equipment in a long bank facing the windows.) It was anchored from G/045 next door (so lots of running cables out of windows, climbing through windows between studio and control room, etc) and as the results were being announced in Goodricke dining room, it meant it was relatively easy to grab people for interviews. | ||
There were three sets in G/045: a "link" set (one or two people behind a desk providing updates, cheesy banter, waffle, etc between events), a panel run by Steve-the-News-producer with various contentious political types from around campus arguing with each other, and a comfy set for interviews. All graphics by BBC micro. And yes, there was lots of publicity. Some of this would later be used to decorate the [[P/X/002]] set which was used for [[Trivial]] and [[Closure]]. | |||
The only footage YSTV is known to hold is some clips in 1992-3's Review of the Year, and [[Closure]]. From these there appeared to be a lot of publicity for the show - or at least it was stuck on the set on the night. | The only footage YSTV is known to hold is some clips in 1992-3's Review of the Year, and [[Closure]].

-- [[John Thompson]] here: I remember interviewing candidates on the comfy sofa and not knowing who anyone was or what they stood for. To get round this, I simply started each conversation by asking "So, tell everyone who you are and what your policies are".. ..which worked well until one chap looked peeved and [[Chris Kwouk]] spoke in my ear intercom and said "That's your new SU President"... | -- [[John Thompson]] here: I remember interviewing candidates on the comfy sofa and not knowing who anyone was or what they stood for.
