[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Raw & "live" plenty of rock meets roll of a drum, Jools spoke with a little plum in his mouth, Paula lays relaxed in leathers across the bed. We always liked what she had said. Words of rhyme were super fine, there were bands that never, ever mimed, that we can be sure.

[@juliathompson8035]

I used to live 4 this every Friday night used to think jools was so sexy and loved Paula too x

[@mariekeg6973]

No need to be puritanical.

[@davidsanderson5918]

Joolz is wrong. It wasn't 'shoddy'. Like most of Channel Four back then, it was experimental and loose but FAR more exciting and entertaining than the same old, same old routine on his 'Later With...' programme. Actually can you just transport me back to 1983 or 84, please? We were SO lucky!

Paula was a real messed up person,tragic,loved the tube.

[@ajs41]

Is there a part 2 to this? I was just wondering about the "#1" in the title.

[@MrDazw72]

I think it was because channel 4 showed a series of them and this was the first of a few

[@davidsanderson5918]

Listen to Trevor Hirn TEETERING on revisiting his Geordie accent. It happens....I can vouch for it, you think of your home town while talking and it comes back. Unlike Sting.....(Gordon Southerner).

[@scottandrewbrass1931]

Trevor Horn-being from Durham- was never a Geordie in the first place. And Stink has always been a twat.

[@gregfox8132]

The brilliant tube gets cancelled, but Saville on top of the pops and the BBC went on, like they were respectable, same type of situation with the sex pistols and Saville n the beeb. Then t f I Friday went the same way.

[@eggjoe122]

Oh no! It is bloated Bo No!

[@skaboosh]

It's been interesting to see the tube on KZbin, so I was right back then, it was mostly full of shit music and rubbish, but was so proud of itself.
