The Wright Stuff

Has anyone seen Michael Barrymore on The Wright Stuff? Bloody hell he looks bad! Is he getting ready to play someone in a play or something?

Lordy

I always thought it was a great shame that he came off the rails and drowned that shirt lifter. I never liked him that much, but he had a real affinity with common people, and common people don't get much comedy aimed at them nowadays.

Is that a rider or a floater?

Yeah but the dead guy was straight wasn't he?

No.

Well he was then anyway.

I think everyone should give Barrymore a break, hes not been found guilty of anything. A man was found dead at his house during a party, just because it was Barrymores house doesnt mean he had anything to do with it, I always find it odd that the dead boys father seems fixated on the fact that its all Barrymores fault, instead of being open to the fact that anyone of the many people at the house during that night could have had something to do with it. Im not a big Barrymore fan or anything, though I did used to love him when I was younger and he did Strike It Lucky, such a natural rapport with the contestants and you never knew what he was going to do next. He does seem a pretty pathetic, self pitying individual though.
