The Tube was a British 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 show was presented live by hosts including Jools Holland, Paula Yates, Leslie Ash, Muriel Gray, Gary James, Michel Cremona, Felix Howard, Tony Fletcher, 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.

Although Peel was not a regular presenter of The Tube, he fulfilled an ambition and went down in history as the man who put The Fall on national TV, on 1983-11-25 . On the same show he was interviewed by Gary James about his recollections of Marc Bolan for a special feature on the late singer.
 He later returned to the Channel 4 Friday teatime show on 1987-04-03 to introduce Datblygu and Anhrefn in a Welsh music special.
