The Tube Exposed (Andre Deutsch)

On July 9, 2012

The Tube Exposed Maria Malone Book CoverThe Tube was innovative, anarchic, riotous live television at its best. For five years the show brought music, humour and chaos into our living rooms on Friday evenings, making it the perfect start to the weekend. In The Tube Exposed, Maria Malone describes what made the programme so unique. With contributions from Jools Holland and Paula Yates, as well as directors, producers, researchers and guests, she recreates the frenetic atmosphere behind the scenes as well as on-air. The book is as funny, energetic and iconoclastic as the show itself.

‘I have enjoyed enormously looking through Maria Malone’s excellent book on The Tube. It is a beautifully-crafted, affectionate book which will add lustre and style to any home or office.

I insist you purchase this book, or if you are unable to do so, you steal it.’

Jools Holland.
