The Y generation also often talked about the loss of their SABC 2 hero, Dub, who was the face of Tube. The green alien cheered TV lovers in the afternoon as he announced the beginning and end of fun kids' programmes during the day.

One day, Dub waved goodbye and never came back. His sudden departure saddened many who still remember him today. 5 FM's presenter, Nick Hamman, tracked down Dub and the actor who played him to find out why they left:

"Here's what happened to Dub. The truth of the matter is Dub never wanted to leave. There were complications outside his hands that led him from the inflatable world of Tube and away from our screens, never to return."

Dub and the actor who played him, Brian Webber, are now in Canada, where they mostly stay indoors because of the icy weather. The former face of Tube also writes poetry now:

"I'm happy, but I miss the kids, all of my friends in South Africa., and Kwaito. I'm so glad you found me because it's been so many years, and I feel like I grew up with you together. 

"I hope you learned a few things from my stupid actions. I was so naughty, selfish, and greedy, and I hope you did not turn out like that. I'm a better person now; I eat less doughnuts. I'm vegan now."
