The Word was a
brash and often controversial Friday night magazine show aimed at the post-pub
youth audience. Stuart Hall appeared on this 5th Series edition and spoke
passionately about Knockout in his interview and presided
over a small scale It's A Knockout game in the studio. This involved
two members of the audience dressed as giant pigeons, diving through hoops and
bursting balloons. The programme, hosted by Terry Christian, also featured
Craig Charles, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Luscious Jackson and Mark Morrison. |
