just like with princess diana, i caught glimpses of michael barrymore as a kid on my grandmother’s old video tapes that she recorded before i was born, usually the tail end of the michael barrymore show before a movie came on on a saturday night - but i had no clue who he was. why was this guy not on tv anymore? and like diana, the answer was something extremely dark.
my question was answered for me growing up, hearing jokes about barrymore’s pool by various comedians, but in reality, as shown by the documentary, it’s not funny at all.
