Strike It Lucky - Children's Special - 27th December 1993

[@jayarajjohnson2476]

That Little Girl singing was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen & the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.

[@margarethayday4611]

Michael Barrymore is the king of TV; his interaction and understanding with children is fabulous . There is no show person on tv today that can match his professionalism. I thank all those who have made viewing these clips possible, sheer brilliance.

[@davehooter1623]

So sweet and Barrymore is unrivalled in the way he interacts with kids. Brilliant entertainer.

[@jillmitchell3328]

❤I love the manner in which Mr. Barr ymore interacts with all the children

[@avk-kq7gv]

Michael Barrymore you are pure gold!

[@teresacalladine7479]

Yes he is. You can feel his personality, warmth and joy , just watching him.

[@jamesdarby169]

I never knew when this was what it was for as I was to young but now it's 2022 I do hope them kids are all grown up and live and will continue to live a good life. God bless them all xxx

I agree. Amen

This was an amazing episode. It must have been overwhelming for the red team but Michael was great with them. I do miss him on tv

So sad the way Barrymore's career ended. He was a brilliant entertainer.

what happened

[@teresacalladine7479]

I agree, so sad .

[@RedStrikerBeetleborg]

@@whatevs7332 he was accused of sexual assault and murder of man that was found in his pool

[@carlhartwell7978]

@@whatevs7332 As far as I can remember a man drowned in his swimming pool during a party. The press made a mountain out of a molehill, like they do. Obviously drugs were involved, shock horror. Anyway things dragged on for something like 15 yrs with inquests and inquiries, as well as Barrymore's arrest. But eventually all charges were dropped and the police admitted his arrest was wrongful. Meanwhile Barrymore's career essentially ended from the beginning of the whole affair, he was a pretty big name when it happened hosting a number of successful programmes including this one, Kids Say the Funniest Things and My Kind of People winning several awards and audience polls. No doubt a large part of his vilification was due to homophobia fueled by the press.

[@nancycorbeil5892]

Im a Yank. Discovered Michael 3 days agoand me neck is bothering, cannot stop watching his many programs! I did stumble across his falling out. I think being gay was going to be not such a bother in short time. The other...i don't think I can comment. After seeing these Christmas episodes were brilliant, but this one takes the prize. He was brilliant from this side of the pond all these decades later. We never had anyone as brilliant here in the states on tv, ever. Im enjoying all of them.

Agree. When the little lass starting singing I started tearing up lol. Mr Barrymore is such a good entertainer and so great with the kids. I wish this was still going (although, perhaps not, today’s kids are so different, most of them have been taught to be much more materialistic I’m afraid - and also less polite and respectful sadly).

I’m glad the blind girls had a little help. Many of the questions I think would have needed the ability to see to know the answers. Everything has to be described to them growing up and they have to correlate in their minds what it could possibly be. Well done.

Those 2 blind girls on the end were an Inspiration and the girl who sang over the rainbow was amazing and brought tears to my eyes and still are an inspiration they are grown up now not sure where they are now the girl with the dark hair was so funny and made me laugh and the audience laughed too what a character she is I am potentially facing going blind and I'm 40 next month I live with a rare eye condition which I was diagnosed with nearly 3 years ago but what lovely girls they are

Actually it pretty much Disneyland Paris. In Florida, WDW has 4 parks, and the park is called Magic Kindgom. OG Disneyland is called Disneyand Park and of course California Adventures. No one actually calls it Disneyland Park.
