    TV Marmite
    The Word was in its early 90s heyday an anarchic, spontaneous, hip and happening youth programme, that pulled no punches when interviewing celebs and highlighted more than a few good hands.

    Alternatively, it was an incoherent, amateurish, vulgar shambles notorious for nudity, foul language and drunken rowdiness.

    There was very little middle ground when it came to The Word - it was loved or hated - and Terry Christian, the constant feature of its five year run, very much personified the 'loathe him or love him' attitudes.

    Looking back, the list of bands and guests were fairly impressive. Christian, if you could stand him, was aided by a distinctly mixed crowd of eccentric co-presenters - and whatever happened to Dani Behr, Katie Putrick, Hufty and Mark Lamarr (probably the pick of the bunch)?

    Ironically, it was cancelled just as many of the Britpop bands it had promoted were taking off.
