There was an interesting piece in the
Guardian about the music programme The
Tube that was made in
Newcastle by Tyne Tees Television in the 1980s. At the time I was living in the
wilds of Northumberland and didn't watch much television so I missed most of the
programmes. However, it has now acquired cult status - although watching it at
a distance the reason for this is not entirely clear – but maybe you had to be
there at the time.

Miles Davis was in The Rose & Crown! You learn something every day. Probably no Blue Plaque.
And remember the controversy/shock/horror when Jools let slip with the 'groovy f$%£*&s' - Mary Whitehouse was predictably appalled!
