The first two or three "Newsrounds' were pre-recorded. I remember watching the first one in the Langwith common room surrounded by our production team and a couple (only) of curious students. We soon moved to live programmes which made the whole production process much more exciting. | The first two or three "Newsrounds' were pre-recorded.

YSTV was actually very important to my personal and professional development. It gave me my first experience of starting an organisation from scratch - I've started several others during the last 40 years. At YSTV I also gained my first experience of leading and managing a team of people. I'm very grateful to that initial group who put up with my inexperience and enabled me to learn a great deal. | YSTV was actually very important to my personal and professional development.

I now live in Sydney and have been in Australia for 40 years - I arrived here after graduating from York in 1968. I initially came to Australia to do a PhD but dropped out of that one. I then became, for four years, an educational TV producer at a university in Sydney - the only job in which I used my experience with YSTV. I did get a PhD several years later, spent some time working for government, and now run my own consultancy company providing advice on energy and environmental policy and programs. | I now live in Sydney and have been in Australia for 40 years - I arrived here after graduating from York in 1968.
