From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Terry Christian (born 8th May 1963, Manchester, England) is an award-winning radio and TV presenter.
Christian gained plaudits and honours for his radio work for BBC local radio stations in the 1980s before shooting to national fame — and notoriety — in 1990 when he was recruited to host the controversial and cultish Channel 4 youth show The Word. The show regularly pushed boundaries of taste and legality but gained a massive audience and Christian remained its only continuous presenter until it was axed in 1995.
He was also sacked, along with a producer, in September 1995 from Talk Radio UK for allowing the broadcast of controversial material.
In later years Christian has returned to radio though has continued to do occasional TV projects. He is best known, however, for turning the Manchester accent into something more nationally-renowned, though his own slightly nasal tones were the subject of much ridicule.
In 2004, he appeared in two reality TV programmes, The Farm and I'm Famous and Frightened!
Christian supports Manchester United.
