Speaking of. Saw him and Barrymore in Panto once in Runcorn, it were kind of like the blue pantos Jim Davidson used do. It were called Cinderanus. An obviously drunk Barrymore and Starr were hilarious trying to one up each other, till they both ended up pants down, buttocks splayed and displaying their balloon knots to the crowd, in the end I think they did one up each other, absolutely vile, my 6 year old was traumatized, my mother-in-law stopped speaking to me, my nan and nandad loved it though.
