First Tuesday is a monthly television documentary strand that was shown in the United Kingdom on the ITV network and produced by Yorkshire Television. The subject matter is mainly social issues, and current affairs stories from around the world. It ran from 5 April 1983 to 2 November 1993, with programmes being shown on the first Tuesday of the month, hence the title. In 1993, Network First was a part replacement for First Tuesday.
