The Tube (TV series)
''The Tube'' was a United Kingdom music television programme, which ran for five series, from 5 November 1982 to 26 April 1987. It was produced by Tyne Tees Television for Channel 4, which had previously produced the similar music show ''Alright Now'' and the music-oriented youth show ''Check it Out'' for ITV; production of the latter ended in favour of ''The Tube''.
''The Tube'' was presented live by hosts including Jools Holland, Paula Yates, Leslie Ash, Muriel Gray, Gary James, Michel Cremona, Nick Laird-Clowes and Mike Everitt. The brand name was relaunched by Channel 4 as an online radio station in November 2006. The show was directed by Gavin Taylor; Geoff Wonfor directed some of the insert videos along with other staff programme director of Tyne Tees Television Martin Cairns. Many other specials were made, including one for the eve of the millennium.

''The Tube'' was an important outlet for the performers, and provided a turning point in the careers of many of them. For The Proclaimers, performing "Letter from America" on ''The Tube'' was instrumental in helping the Scottish duo to their first top ten UK hit; it was also responsible for introducing Frankie Goes to Hollywood to their record label ZTT and its co-owner, and their producer Trevor Horn.
In addition to being the launchpad for new and upcoming performers, ''The Tube'' became known for its high profile music performance 'scoops' from established world class bands such as U2 live at Red Rocks, Robert Plant, Bo Diddley and ZZ Top. The show was also fortunate to persuade Ringo Starr to give one of the first post-Beatles interviews in an extended article on his work with Marc Bolan and T. Rex, filmed at his then (and previously John Lennon's) house, Tittenhurst Park.
The Jam performed on the first edition of the show in 1982, it was their last live TV appearance together before they split up at the end of the year.
