My guest mixer this week is Terry Christian
TV and radio presenter, journalist, comedian and author - he was memorably described in 1994 as ‘the most hated man on television.’ Although, as he points out, this was - ironically - by none other than Piers Morgan.
Terry is currently touring with the show The Word Is Terry Christian: The Naughty 90s and More.
A friend of mine texted me in advance of the interview to say that Terry is 'one of life's good guys and very, very opinionated so it should be a great listen.' Hopefully, you'll find that all that is true!
