I remember watching him on TV in the early 90s still learning to speak English, not understanding a word he said yet mesmerised and often in stitches watching his antics. I think that's the best compliment I can give him. A national treasure this chap is. ❤

Michael’s way with people was brilliant. This is quality prime time TV and we miss him. So much better than what we have now. Pleas come back MB.

[@flashtheoriginal]

I came across this by accident. Christ he was good. Fact. Saw him in a record breaking summer season at Great Yarmouth once at The Royalty. Hysterical. He got me up on stage twice and chucked my mate out of the theatre. He went 45 minutes over and just ended up sitting on the stagefront talking with everyone. It was just a brilliant night. A top top professional

[@pr4442]

Barrymore´s timing was superb and the humour came because he gave people air time. Old school and different from the bunch of ego-centric presenters we now have.

[@graemel3069]

So true...Paul!

[@margarethayday4611]

I am waiting repeats of the fabulous Michael Barrymore in 2022 , this gentleman is a genius with people and he should be back on our tv screens, there will never be a true natural comedian with members of the living public in memory again , please bring back the genius into the 21st Century

Best of British! It's a shame his name got dragged so much through the mud and his career ended as a resulted. He's got his name cleared now and an official apology from the police, but that doesn't make up for everything he has lost as a result.

i reckon he would of gone on to really become a huge TV icon, he had all the tools, even Bradley Walsh is as dull s dishwater now, every episode of The Chase he says the exact same thing every night.

There are funny people and there are people who were born to be funny. Barry was a natural on TV, who had great chemistry with the audience and contestants.
