- The set and props were thought through quite far in advance, allowing for balloons, bunting and badges galore, and the white boards were nicely repainted during the afternoon of the show, covering any scratch marks etc. | - The set and props were thought through quite far in advance, allowing for balloons, bunting and badges galore, and the white boards were nicely repainted during the afternoon of the show, covering any scratch marks etc. | ||
- Many new faces were involved in the live show and the production of VTs, which is lovely, as CiN is intended to be a nice first show for freshers/new-comers. | - Many new faces were involved in the live show and the production of VTs, which is lovely, as CiN is intended to be a nice first show for freshers/new-comers. | ||
- Presenters Matt and Grace and director Sam Nicholson did a wonderful job of keeping everything smooth and calm, despite the ever-changing running order and a few technical melt-downs. | - Presenters Matt and Grace and director Sam Nicholson did a wonderful job of keeping everything smooth and calm, despite the ever-changing running order and a few technical melt-downs. | ||
- The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'. | - The live acts, both music and magic, were very good, and the set was made even more beautiful by [[David Heaton]]'s sparkling dot lights; it was also brilliant(ly entertaining) to have YUSU President Kallum Taylor rapping about Willow and how the 'funk' will bring you 'to your knees'. | ||

- There was a strong range of VTs, from music and kidnapping to cooking and picnics, and a particular highlight was being able to see where the donations go by interviewing the director of 'Acting Up'. | |||
- We raised £608 and, despite a few tense moments on the night, generally had a wonderful time! | |||
''The Bad'': | |||
- Helen and a wonderful crew of helpers ([[Chris Wall|Chris]], [[Kieron Moore|Kieron]], [[Matt Johnson|Matt]]) may have still been editing a few VTs whilst the show went on...sorry! (Will try not to succumb to sleep again). | |||
- In the immortal words of [[Sam Nicholson]]: "The VT server was a pile of sh*t and was re-written over Christmas". | |||
- It was ever so warm in the studio. | |||
- More thought should have been given (by Helen) into the presenter challenges - whilst they were quite interesting in theory, we forgot to set a time limit - perhaps some exciting background music should be used to prevent silences whilst the presenters work, though Grace did a good job of humming instead. | |||
- Edit 1 melted. We actually had to put a real fan next to it. | |||
