As with the preceding years, Children in Need 1999 was to see YSTV organising a student night in Goodricke Dining Hall with coverage forming the basis of the TV show. | |||
This year's producer was [[Peter Bowles]] and instead of just a regular disco, he intended to make the Goodricke event a night full of games - e.g limbo competitions, auctioning kisses etc. - hence the name, 'Big Fun'. | |||
The weeks leading up to the night were a bit fraught with minimal ticket sales and problems with Ents equipment being booked up elsewhere, and there were even brief discussions about calling it off. | |||
This was alongside controversy surrounding publicity for the event. Peter persuaded a female fresher called Holly {{unsure|surname}} to be wheeled around campus in a pool of baked beans wearing a bikini accompanied by people with collection buckets. It was all filmed for a VT that would go out on the night. However, the Women's Officers objected to Peter's subsequent posters featuring a picture of Holly alongside the caption - "She's been naughty! See her punished!" Articles in Nouse and Vision followed. | |||
However despite all that, Peter's determination that Big Fun would succeed was proved right - with Peter completely in his element compering the night's entertainment. | |||
As a consequence of the vast planning that the Goodricke event took, the TV programme may have been a little neglected, with [[Alex Hudson]] hastily constructing a set around the [[Sofa]] before the show went on air. | |||
The programme was however memorable for [[Paul Soulsby]] attempting a sponsored eat-a-Mega-Muffin-as-fast-as-you-can and [[Andrew Carter]] having his pony tail cut off for charity. Peter also made a brief appearence on the local BBC Children in Need opt-out showing off the 'CIN' he'd had shaved in the back of his head. | |||
Some photos can be found on [[https://ystv.york.ac.uk/fun/archive/cin1999/index.php the YSTV website]]. None appear to record the show's nickname of "Big Fire" caused by Peter putting some bails of hay underneath the lighting dimmers! | |||
