It's now been 40 years since Channel 4 launched and with it came a host of ground-breaking and memorable TV shows.

The show also had a commitment to comedy, giving a platform to rising stars such as French and Saunders, Vic Reeves, Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. 13. The show’s production team also travelled across the globe with features filmed as far afield as Japan, Jamaica and the United States.
16. Paula Yates’ last words on the show were: “Here it is, the moment we’ve all been dreading. It’s the last moment of The Tube. It’s been wonderful. You’re going to miss us when we’re gone.”
