[[John Thompson]] assisted Aaardvark in creating the show. During this period YSTV were "sans-studio", though a temporary studio was used in {a classroom in Goodricke(?)} was used for the Quoter and South Bank Show sketches. The rest of the show was filmed on locations from Heslington (Thin Man on a Bicycle) to Goodricke (Pomegranate sketch), by way of Vanbrugh (Toilet sketch), the lake at Wentworth (Fishing sketch) and Aaardvark's regular meeting place at Langwith snackbar (Gift Shop, Pet Shop and Restaurant sketches among others).

Although the Aaardvark society no longer survives at York, several of the members still hold regular get-togethers and have continued to film sketches, for their own amusement if nothing else! Some of Son of Rasputin sketches can be seen on Aaardvark's website at http://aaardvark.wackonet.net/things/multimedia.html.
