Terry Christian (1963 - 2005) was an award-winning radio and TV presenter.

Christian gained plaudits and honours for his radio work for local BBC 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 as his health declined rapidly, Christian returned to radio and became a regular feature on Classic FM, as well as appearing in two reality TV programmes, The Farm! and I'm Famous and Frightened! and hosting a late-night discussion programme called The Swivel! He will be best remembered, however, for turning the Manchester accent into something more nationally-renowned, though his own slightly nasal tones were the subject of much ridicule as was his often lax and incompetent presentation style.

Christian avidly supported Manchester United. A match scheduled to be played there the day after his tragic, messy death was postponed until the following Christmas in memorial. His wife is still looking.
