    Don’t you think this place is funnier without the crude innuendos though. I think it makes for more thought out humour when you can’t just post smut , but that’s just me maybe others prefer the opposite?

    But they did question them all when the cold case team reinvestigated it and couldn’t find any evidence against him.

    My personal opinion is that Barrymore probably isn’t the nicest person to work with. I imagine there’s a fair few people in the media at that time who would have been quite happy to see him taken down a peg or two. Plus it’s a nice juicy story for the tabloids. Also just being an openly gay man is enough for some people to say he’s guilty. What on earth would his motive be? At the height of his career Barrymore decides to rape and murder a man he hardly knows at his own house that’s full of guests, really? Does that not seem a bit out of character?

    today my wife overheard two old ladies talking and one said that Philip schofield should be put in jail. Those attitudes are still out there.

    You do realise jumping out of the bushes in a balaclava doesn’t actually count as dating don’t you?

    I don’t think he would have been tried for murder or any of the others tbh it was obviously something that went disastrously wrong and they probably covered it up badly.

    That doesn’t make it right.... if it was a member of Joe Public the police would’ve been swarming all over it, no mistakes would’ve been made & someone would’ve been jailed!

    If you were a multimillionaire about to lose your career etc etc, and it had nothing to do with you.....surely you’d chop the people that did, put pressure on them? State in the press how appalled you are this happened on your property etc etc?

    If you had nothing to do with it.

    Sometimes I just don’t get life and people.

    Accident or not Barrymore seemed to have answered all questions, never been given a guilty verdict by a judge but somehow he seems to be judge as guilty by the public.

    There used to be such a thing as innocent until proven otherwise

    I’m not saying it’s not wrong at all, in fact quite the opposite I think the whole thing is appalling, but given his popularity at the time I think it would have been judged as manslaughter and as it may have been a group thing while high on drugs I think he may have walked. I don’t like that thought as it’s someone’s life that’s been taken short, but reality says to me that’s the likelihood

    It happened at HIS house, there must be some kind of accountability, if it happened at your house, you would be jailed & everyone there would be an accessory after the fact.... A man lost his life in suspicious circumstances & a family lost their son/brother.... no stone should be left unturned in the pursuit of justice for this or any other young person who was/is murdered.... just my opinion but the police can be quite inept sometimes (not always)

    a fair bit I’m guessing. The inquest report and the two other postmortem examinations, the police statement was later that said they had mishandled the initial call out was later you must have heard that?

    The fact is that a young lad drowned in a swimming pool, there was a houseful of party-goers, and yet no one seemed to know anything about it? I appreciate sometimes even the best investigation will come to a grinding halt if no one says anything, but come on. Not saying Michael Barrymore had anything to do with it, but someone who he invited to that party would surely know something about it. And therefore it's not beyond reason that by default, at the very least, he knows something too.
    What's more alarming though, is that I dozed off on the sofa as the programme was getting towards the end, and when I woke up I was confronted by my television screen full of naked blokes and their dangly bits, with a tattooed lady and the show's presenter commenting on shape, size, and general build quality! At some point everyone barring the presenter got naked, and then two of them went off on a date. Whatever happened to 'Tales of the Unexpected', an hour of the Open University, the National Anthem, and then the Test Card?!

    Barrymore was seen rubbing cocaine into the lads gums and handed out shorts to everyone when they got home. To me that says he was keen if not very active in the proceedings. Yet as people say it’s trial by tv unless they get someone to talk and do a proper investigation

    The bit that I found a bit off, was when Barrymore tried to suggest that the chaps injuries where not present when his body left his house, implying that they happened at the hospital. To me that came across as blatantly trying to cover up the truth.

    I'm not suggesting Barrymore did it, but I'm pretty sure he knows what happened and is covering it up.

    Oh yes, I’d forgotten about that bit. Foolish really; I mean, even I’ve watched enough CSI and Silent Witness to know pre- and post- mortem wounds look totally different..... a bona fide coroner is gonna spot that a mile off!
