YSTV's archives date back to the 1970s. Left to gather dust for far too long, but not any more! Here you can find absolutely anything we manage to scrape together from our corridor of tapes. 

If you intend to use material from the archives, please contact archive@ystv.co.uk, and be aware of the different copyright licenses - we've gone through quite a few over our lifetime!

YSTV in 2000

In 1991, YSTV produced a spoof trailer for 'Robopot'. This footage will have been created on Umatic tape, transferred to SVHS in the 90's, and now digitised. No original copies are known to exist.

Just a selection from YSTV's vast archives. Look out for more of the archive appearing online soon, along with 'The Archive Show.'

In 1993 YSTV was evicted from the studio it had held in Physics for around twenty years. To mark what could have been the end of the society a short programme called "Closure" was made. 

This promo was the second part of this programme, edited by Mark Hansgate, and it is widely credited with raising the profile of YSTV's campaign to survive.
