#OnThisDay in 1982 the first episode of "The Tube" was aired on Channel 4 with hosts Paula Yates and Jools Holland
@The1980sGirl Best ever ever music show ever. Did I say ever ?
@The1980sGirl I recall it kicked off the weekend nicely
@The1980sGirl @PunKandStuff And no Jools ' Boogie Woogie ' piano
@The1980sGirl I went to a taping of this in spring of 83 when Paula Yates was on maternity leave, Leslie ash was her replacement. Big country and fiction factory were the bands, and I remember the studio was tiny, looked so much bigger on our tvs.
@The1980sGirl A truly legendary music show, sums up the fledgling Channel 4 at the time.
@The1980sGirl Great program, even filmed in the club I went to once spiders in hull
@The1980sGirl The Jams last live tv performance as well and didn't they bow out in style a storming set
@The1980sGirl My mates and I were obsessed with the Tube. Essential Friday night viewing. Not forgetting the Young Ones which was on par as well.
