I was surprised it was only 20 years ago, seemed longer than that.

Needs to be a conviction first though.

All those involved need closure on this and, if Barrymore is cleared beyond reasonable doubt, he has suffered immensely by association for two decades. Before he went off the rails, he was hilariously funny in 'different times'. Whether he could have rebuilt his career after his very public problems is another matter.

The title of this thread reminds me of this
Not going to comment on his involvement in this case but having never seen anything he did before with the exception of a couple of episodes of that game show he did, I saw him on celebrity big brother some years ago. What a vile man. I don't think I've ever seen anyone behaving quite so deplorably to other people on that show before, and that is saying something considering the caliber of mentally defective, ****ed up, no-marks that make up the Celebrity Big Brother alumni.

Hilariously funny? really? Not to me l'm afraid, although l realise that obviously everbodys sense of humour is different.

Nobody is going to argue about his behaviour after he fell from grace. But the stuff you didn't watch were his halcyon days.
Depends when you first saw him. During the 80's and early 90's he was a very popular comedian and entertainer, widely regarded outside Cowfold as hilariously funny. Nearly 20m viewers per week weren't wrong and you don't do Royal Variety performances without being seriously good. He was a superstar. But he had a helluva fall from grace.
The little I saw of him was deeply, deeply unfunny. But as you say people liked him. But to quote Peep Show; "People listen to Coldplay and voted for Hitler"

I don't doubt that what you say is true, and yes l do remember his halcyon days as you put it, but humour is a very personal thing, and we are all different. It isn't a matter of right or wrong..
