I used to love people like Michael Barrymore, Bob Monkhouse, Jim Bowen etc they were funny genuine and made people feel at ease at the time. then the PC brigade (You know who are you gretins!) moan esp about Barrymore, and now we have 3rd rate reality programs and wall to wall depressing soaps. Id love to see Barrymore and Strike it Lucky back id like to see Bullseye and Jim Bowen back proper stars that make the constestant and the viewer feel at ease.
@malygoat I'd take this over a lot of today's so-called Comedy. Yes, it's not as funny as it was back in the 90s, but Barrymore would have evolved his act if he was still at the top today. I know you were not slagging him off and just replying to people who were. I greatly missed his shows when he was taken off the air but it would be very hard for him to come back now, although I did enjoy seeing him on Come Dine With Me recently.
This guy is a complete prick. I was dragged to some lame Butlins show of his when I was on holiday & just a kid. During a rendition of the 'Birdy Song' & handed the microphone by Barrymore at the pivotal 'shake your....' line I said 'arse'. The small turd I guess, didn't like a kid stealing the show & his laughs so he told me off for 'swearing'. Whatever dude I was funnier than you'll ever be! You bloody tosspot!
people may think michael barrymore doesn't deserve a career because how nice he was back then and now he isn't because they accused him of something and he was hiding his bitter side good job he don't ave a career, now that's what people may say but i disagree that man has every right to be as bitter as he become after being accused like that , wouldn't you ?? MAN OR WOMAN ?? we wud all do that ( become as bitter ) and besides we all act a little fake in the sense of politeness especially on tv
probably got something to do with him being an alcholic, drug addict, racist and a murderer, sometimes tv stations can turn a blind eye on entertainers bizzare attitudes towards other people but in the case of barrymoore he was about as stable as a dose of dysentery
As my late grandfather said around 10 mins before he died.
Fucking idiot. I always thought he was ok but like all people they come in and out of the lime light unlike most he did it in real stile poor young boy did he very do time for that.??
On this show Barrymore would ridicule everyone: the disabled, the elderly, the slow witted, the hard of hearing, "those of colour," slightly nervy and ashamed homosexuals masquerading as freinds...literally everyone. And people lapped it up...including and especially those who were being teased.
Granted, he later went on to less savoury practices, but this was easily the best thing on TV for a while.
I don't think Barrymore was being deliberatley offensive, the contestant himself (and the audience)laughed when he said his name, and that it was Chinese, of course Barrymore's going to pick up on that,so would any other entertainer/presenter on this sort of show. The only time it would go without comment is on shows like "Countdown",for example, where they would probably just solomenly discusss the guy's Chinese origins.
why are people so angry? This was the 80s man, making racist jokes was nothing! And besides i hear worse comments in these days and times, they're just slyer! And why are people so shocked by comments made by a guy questioned for a cocaine induced murder?! The guy is capable of anything- he left his wife of 25 years to be a faggot!lol
i just can't see how it's a racist comment. if an english man (possessing particularly northern european traits, eg ginger) had a chinese name it'd be weird and probably invoke a laugh.
I disagree. He laughs at a man's name because it sounds like a very offensive swear word, then laughs again that a black man has a chinese name. That is how it can be seen as a racist comment. I'm not expecting you to agree with me, but can you now 'see' how it could be construed as racist?
Random, just to give you a point of law. Laughing at a weird sounding name can be recist. The definition of a racist incident : Any incident that ANYBODY perceives to be racist.
Dont think Im stoking an argument here, that believe it or not is now English Law. Tragic isnt it. So watch out because if you watch youtube videos or breath in a manner I perceive to be racist I'll be down on you..............then again I have a life so perhaps not. your the the right honourable Jigwa Giggigs QC
You know that mano I know that, and lets be honest the people who pretend to be offended by this type of comment know it as well, but while there are laws in place to say it is people will pretend to try and get people into bother or make a few quid compo. The trajedy of this is should that bloke say he was racially abused on telly some years ago the police would have to investigate it. Crazy isnt it!. Id love to know who these PC pricks are because you never see any of them do you.
2. I don't think it puts down any race. As before, Africa is very far from China. If I (white person) was on a Chinese tv show, and I had a quite obvious African name, I'm sure they would query it aswell.
I think it comes down to people who have the right amount of sense and those who are just overly-sensitive.
Yes a black man with a chinese name...that is funny..,not racist at all,even the black couple are laughing...,it would be the same if a white couple came out and they had a name like Muhammud or some sort of Asian name..stop being so PC and looking for racism when it isnt there..
I have not wished death upon anyone. I think it's quite distasteful how he laughs at the contestant's name because it sounds a bit like a swear word, and then laughs at a black man having a Chinese name. I don't find that funny.
Strike it lucky, how appropriate, he certainly did. This man has to be the least talented person every to appear on network television. If a school teacher took the piss out of kids like he did the'd go to jail......dont get me strated on this cunt
You then must be a chirpy cockney, or someone who thinks its OK to do the things he's done down the years, shame on you for siding with this utterly horrible man
See how you instantly assume I was talking about criminal activity. I was not. I was talking about all the fan grabbing attention seeking stunts he's pulled. You know the Im gay/ I still love my wife bullshit when he knew he was going to expire. As for me being a chirpy cockney, try the other end of the country mate, and you might be a little closer to where I call gods country. Awight
Why do people argue with TROLLS like JIGWAG? Can't you see he/she had no intentions of talking about the Strke It Lucky show in general, and was simply Trolling on Barrymore's faults in life ?
Internet Trolls are the most, hatred, bored people in the world! Trolls will never correct their own SAD lives, but will instead shout at others who have made mistakes, to make themselve feel better.
The TROLL is just lonely on the NET, as the TROLL is just as lonely in REAL life.
cdtdk I have to disagree with you, its called an opinion and even in this wonderful country human rights says you are entitled to one. I think you'll find Barrymore is far more universally despised than these Trolls you discuss. I take no gratification in slagging people off but this man is the personification of the kind of imposter that thrives in the UK in the modern era.Check some of my other postings out, they arent all like this
Unfortunately there is little you can do to stop me and slander is only slander when untrue. I reckon I could secure backing in the high court regarding this mans lack of talent. It was not off track as it was about Barrymore who unless Im very much mistaken is being unfunny in this clip. I dont really want you to look at my other postings, they will be far to accurate, whoops sorry, slanderous for you. Councillor
Praise the lord for someone else with some functioning eyes and ears. I was beginning to wonder, I personally cannot see how anyone can defend this man. Id love to share a boxing ring with him, even for just a few minutes
That's the only ring I'd share with him. I'm not one of these to become outraged over nothing, but isn't it a bit distasteful how he laughs at the guy's name because it sounds a bit like the 'forbidden' C-word, then finds it hilarious that a black guy has a Chinese name? He must have had friends in high places to have lasted so long on TV.
Because he was one of the most original and naturally talented Presenters on TV with an ability to deal with the moronic members of the public who entertained his various shows. Very few are this great - Barrymore, Forsyth and of course Brucie
Great?. As we say where I come from ave a word with yourself. There is nothing original about taking the piss out of easy targets, I do it for a living. Emme you have displayed your level of interlect and lack of knowledge with breathtaking skill. Correct me if Im wrong but isnt Brucie and Forsyth the same person?. I think you will also find that Mr forsyth can sing dance and command the respect of even the most difficult audiences, unlike your friend.
barrymore is entertaining, he made people laugh. i don't care what he does outside the show and to be honest i don't even know. jig mate, you should just get over it mate, stop being so emotional.
Seen as you put it so nicely random, I'll try and leave emotion out of it. The only emotion I possess about this horrible man is confusion, as to what people actually see in him. Outside of London and the surrounding area he did not make many people laugh either. His off screen activity, Ill leave comment on that to the Lubbock family. I also have it on reliable authority that at his "peak" he specialised in ruining award ceremonies, how hilarious.
Not speculation mate, fact, and I dont really care either. Regarding your jackson analogy, Hitler had some good ideas as well you know and was after all an inspirational leader to his people. If you want to see good in someone you will, and if you dont you wont simple really isnt it.
your vast knowledge of award ceremony history is worthless here i'm afraid, it means nothing. when judging if this man is entertaining, i do not consider if he defecates in the shower or not.
you justification for this man being "horrible" is because he's not funny? you know what, we bettet get peter kay as prime minister.
ARGH, the former post disappeared and reappeared, oh well i shall contunue...
you are simply arguing against human nature. can you argue that the beatles are crap, from an objective standpoint? i don't like them myself, but they must have done something right.
finally, the crowd laughed, therefore he was successful. your critique lies more with the audience than the man himself. the audience made him. like every performer.
Overrated is where the Beatles stand on my sliding scale but you cant argue with Heather Mills bank balance can you. Finally the hand picked collection of cockneys who no doubt made up the audience were bounded to laugh werent they. How many programmes of this nature are performed to silcence?. They are told when to laugh and clap etc , fuck me thats about as convincing an argument as the old classic of "she was asking for it dressed like that" after a rape.
Vast knowledge? no just a mate who worked the tables at such events and who for what its worth actually liked him beofe he saw the off camera persona, but then rapidly turned on him. I see nothing entertaining in taking the piss out of old age pensoners and other easy targets. Get him to do an hour long set in a working mans club in Middlesbrough on a Saturday night. If he survives that then I'll back down. As for Peter Kay his gag about garlic bread has to be the best line ever.......not
I agree that he is a horrible man. Not due to his lack of ability or semi-racist, humiliating sense of humour, but down to the fact that a man died under very suspicious circumstances after a drug fuelled orgy at his home, suffering terrible injuries in the process. (Allegedly). I believe that's quite, quite horrible.
Yes, 'Barrymore' and 'scandal' are two words which have often been found together in recent years but you cannot deny that he was an exceptional entertainer who greatly cared about the contestants on his shows. The tremendous support he had when he left the Celebrity Big Brother house reflects this. Innocent until proven guilty IMO.
This show was fantastic BTW and should be back on our screens in either its 'Lucky' or 'Rich' form.
does anyone have a vid of the opening or closing credits? I loved the theme music to strike it lucky back in the day this show was class. Rich was good but you cannot beat it in its original form.
It change it name because Thames orngail made this and there reused to let ITV use the old name ( which everyone like more) so there had to tinker with it change the name and LWT made it form 96 onwards....
I used to love people like Michael Barrymore, Bob Monkhouse, Jim Bowen etc they were funny genuine and made people feel at ease at the time. then the PC brigade (You know who are you gretins!) moan esp about Barrymore, and now we have 3rd rate reality programs and wall to wall depressing soaps. Id love to see Barrymore and Strike it Lucky back id like to see Bullseye and Jim Bowen back proper stars that make the constestant and the viewer feel at ease.

Yes, 'Barrymore' and 'scandal' are two words which have often been found together in recent years but you cannot deny that he was an exceptional entertainer who greatly cared about the contestants on his shows. The tremendous support he had when he left the Celebrity Big Brother house reflects this. Innocent until proven guilty IMO.
This show was fantastic BTW and should be back on our screens in either its 'Lucky' or 'Rich' form.

does anyone have a vid of the opening or closing credits? I loved the theme music to strike it lucky back in the day this show was class. Rich was good but you cannot beat it in its original form.

It change it name because Thames orngail made this and there reused to let ITV use the old name ( which everyone like more) so there had to tinker with it change the name and LWT made it form 96 onwards....
