Mr Manchester Tony Wilson nominated by Terry Christian
Tony Wilson was Mr Manchester - on Granada TV, at Factory Records and in the Hacienda. Here Terry Christian explains why he means so much to him, with help from Paul Morley.
He was a broadcaster, music mogul, social activist, local celebrity, publicity seeker, loud mouth, surreal politician, showman and, according to Paul Morley, "a great resourceful man of the north." Now Terry Christian provides a passionate account of why he was also a great life. This was certainly an extraordinary life, and by the end even presenter Matthew Parris is won round.
Produced by Miles Warde
