The Word (TV series)

The Word was a 1990s Channel 4 television programme in the United Kingdom. Its presenters included Mancunian radio presenter Terry Christian, comedian Mark Lamarr, Dani Behr from Faith, Hope and Charity, Katie Puckrick, Alan Connor, Amanda de Cadenet and "Hufty". Originally broadcast in the old Tube timeslot of 6pm on a Friday night, The Word's main live show was shifted to a "post-pub" timeslot, with a compilation sister show fronted by Mark Lamarr in the week. The magazine format allowed for interviews, live music, features and even game shows. The flexible late night format meant that guests could do just about anything to be controversial.
There was also an 'I'll do anything to be on television' section called 'The Hopefuls' in which people ate worms, bathed in maggots, and did generally repulsive things in order to get featured on the programme.
The programme ran from 1990 to 1995. Towards the end there was considerable tabloid backlash against the show and it was not recommissioned.
