Relive the ‘90s! Relive The Word!
With some rarely-seen clips and a no-holds-barred Q&A, Terry comes to Sale’s Waterside for one night only. His stand-up performance will delve into the iconic and quintessentially ‘90s ground-breaking and hugely influential TV show The Word.
Launched in August 1990 on Channel 4, The Word both revolutionised ‘youth TV’ and predated ‘reality TV’ by a decade. With its goal being to create something new and exciting, The Word pushed the conventional boundaries of broadcasting to court controversy and outrage the establishment.
Combining a diverse mix of cutting-edge artists like Nirvana, Oasis and Snoop Dogg, irreverent and anarchic interviews of A-lister guests including Whitney Houston, Dave Chappelle, Bill Hicks, Ricki Lake and Oliver Reed, plus stories from the margins of society, and downright bizarre and outrageous studio stunts, The Word soon became loved by its target audience and loathed by the press in equal measure.
Terry Christian has rarely been off the TV since the crazy days of The Word. More recently Terry appeared in The Great Christmas Bake Off, Celebrity MasterChef and has just recorded Celebrity Mastermind for BBC1 for broadcast around Christmas time.
