The Mockingbird Cinema invites you to relive the raw energy of 90s television with Terry Christian, award-winning broadcaster and the original host of The Word. In honour of the show’s 30th anniversary, join us for an evening filled with legendary clips and an unfiltered Q&A session with Terry himself. The evening will showcase The Word’s anarchic and revolutionary essence that captivated youth culture and gave a voice to alternative music and pop culture.
Airing from 1990 to 1995 on Channel 4, The Word mixed live music, irreverent celebrity interviews, and taboo-busting segments that challenged social norms. The show introduced the UK to iconic bands like Nirvana and Oasis and pushed the boundaries of television with unforgettable performances and “The Hopefuls,” where guests would do anything for screen time—from outrageous stunts to unexpected confessions. Known for its edgy, post-pub time slot, The Word became both a cultural phenomenon and a magnet for controversy, blending tabloid allure with genuine countercultural impact.
Plus pre show 90s DJ set with DJ Jacqui Carroll
