It's the day of the 1984 FA Cup Final and as Watford prepare to take on Everton, the BBC decide they have no issues with a comedy sequence in which Bob Wilson interviews a blacked-up Michael Barrymore impersonating John Barnes, complete with a Jamaican accent that veers dangerously into Geordie.

  • I can't even work out what the joke is supposed to be! There's literally no joke in this impression at all. This clip should be more widely included in the top 100 worst moments on TV lists...

  • I think this has been posted in the wrong category. It says "Comedy". Surely it should be in "Twat"?

  • This is painful. It's almost so shit it's difficult to even be offended by it!

  • Racism, you're doing it wrong!

  • Really sad he's just been nicked again for possession of Class A, as we always knew Barrymore was a cockney comic genius with an illustrious career ahead of him on ITV post 1984 and here is the veritable proof.

    John Barnes is lucky Michael could have invited him back to his for a line and a swim!

    On this showing maybe Bob Wilson was?

  • What a racist bastard. how would he like it if some unfunny comedian ripped the piss out of him for his sexuality and the fact someone got alledgedly raped and killed at his house party. I'm glad this was posted though shows him for what he is. also looking back the abuse Barnes took was out of order.

  • Just awful on every level

  • How this unfunny cunt made a living for so long really beggars belief

  • @erico1977 Don't forget giving them a vigorous fisting first.

  • what a prick

  • Ohhhhh I get it, You see John Barnes is black and.....Ok i dont get it, in fact the more I stay here the more I'm cringing.
