Just watched the 'When Awards Shows Go Wrong' and Barrymore was on - marching someone out of the auditorium, and trashing Jonathan Ross's autocue machine.
I remember seeing him in a theatre way before he was famous, marching out someone off the front row who was clearly seriously embarrassed and upset. I thought then that he was an idiot, and destined for obscurity because he was so unfunny, and nasty.
Seeing him on this clips show, it reminded me what an utterly talentless nasty buffoon of a man he was - and the endless mystery to me of why anyone ever found him remotely amusing, or talented.
He ripped off a seriously poor Basil Fawlty impression as his main 'routine', and in the Awards show, he clearly thought people were having a pop at him for his recent 'coming out' as gay, by having his award presented by Dale Winton, an out-and-proud gay man.
That level of self-absorption just beggars belief, and although I was horrified by the circumstances, I was delighted when his career came to an abrupt end.
Anyone else share my extreme bafflement as to what anyone ever saw in him as an 'entertainer'?

ummmm - // Saying it doesn't bother you is easy to say but your posts don't reflect that //
A fair point - let me amend my position -
Criticism does not bother me unduly, but I will always defend myself if and when I feel it is unwarranted, and given some of the industrial-strength trolling that can occur on here - I think defence is fair enough.
Will I defend myself against unfair criticism? Absolutely!
Does it concern me unduly - to the point where I carry it with me away from my PC Absolutely not!

When I do discos are parties, there is going to be a section of the room who think I am fabulous, and want to employ me again, and a section of the room who think I am a talentless buffoon who is gaining money under false pretences.
Been to loads of discos and not once have I ever thought the DJ was fabulous and I have never heard anyone say 'that DJ was fabulous'
Crap or acceptable yes, never fabulous.

Hi Andie
it wasnt the panto at Wolverhammpton ?
the one with the mature ladies tap dancers - Mighty Moe et al
he was Buttons so it would have to have been Cinderella
Les Dawson was Baron Frenzy - the sisters' father
and yes as you say it was like that
it was said to be his last stage provincial engagement before he went down to London to Make It.
yes 1984 I think
