The Tube S02E20

Seminal live music show from the 1980s on Channel 4 in the UK. Famed for having the biggest music acts of the day performing live in the Tyne Tees Television studios, and for breaking artistes that went on to become household names. Presented by Jools Holland and Paula Yates, along with a number of other presenters (some unknown at the time), the show ran for five series from 1982 to 1987.

The second is a 25-minute filmed report, with Jools interviewing Duran Duran in France.
