Michael Barrymore: The Rise And Fall Of Mr Saturday Night
In the 90s, Michael Barrymore was a universally-loved British TV presenter. In '95, Barrymore came out as gay during an era of homophobia in the tabloid press - but his open homosexuality didn't dent his popularity. It wasn't until a fateful night in 2001, where an after-party at Barrymore's luxury mansion in Essex ended his career and the life of a young man; Stuart Lubbock. The sordid details of the night in question were aired in the media and a pathologist's report concluded that Stuart had suffered severe sexual injuries prior to death taking place. This film is a saga of light entertainment and heavy drama, with a powerful portrait of a tragic character.
