Terry Christian is best known for fronting 'The Word', Channel 4's controversial cult live late night show which ran from 1990 - 1995 and achieved audience figures as high as three and a half million (only since bettered by the first series of 'Big Brother'). Terry currently presents the BBC Manchester Breakfast show as part of the stations new look.. Terry also hosts the Wednesday Evening show which delves into the Manchester music scene.

He presented Sky One's 'Backchat' dealing with viewers' feedback and is a regular contributor to the BBC's 'Heaven and Earth' show. Terry Christian also fronts the successful series of 'It's My Life' for ITV, now on its fifth series. Terry hosts this youth discussion show primarily looking at issues surrounding sex, like teenage pregnancy and marriage as an outdated institution. Terry has most recently been seen on ITV1 with his new show, 'Turn On Terry', giving his opinion on the week's big TV shows, as well as Channel 5's "the Farm" and Sky One's "Celebrity Fear Factor".

And he's an accomplished writer - his second book 'Reds In The Hood', a semi-autobiographical account of growing up in Old Trafford, was published in hardback by Andre Deutsch in May '99 and came out in paperback in March 2001.

Terry started his career in radio and his accolades are staggering - BBC Radio Derby, Radio 4's 'WPFM', Signal Radio and Piccadilly Radio, and that's just the start! Whilst developing his deep interest in music in his radio shows and newspaper column, Terry's big break came along. He was approached by 24 Hour Productions (later Planet 24) to help conceive and later present a new youth show for Channel 4. Thus 'The Word' was born, taking it's title from Terry's Manchester Evening News column of the same name.

In early 1996 Terry was asked by Paul Gallagher (brother of Liam and Noel) to write 'Brothers - from Childhood to Oasis', with the full co-operation of their mother Peggy. This went on to be the best-selling hardback of Christmas '96. Terry is currently working on a book about his time in TV called 'My Word' as well as a screenplay on legendary Irish King Brian Boru. He's also been asked by legendary Fall frontman Mark E. Smith to write an official biography.
