Moderators neil Posted December 14, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2019 Anyone able to find the intro to Michael Barrymore's My Kind of People? I could have sworn that it featured him joining in and singing a couple of lines, much like Cilla Black's Surprise Surprise but I can't confirm it. On a related note, one can only hope that Brexit returns us to those magical times. Give me a B list celebrity, an elaborate set with geometric strip lighting, an announcer introducing that celeb with a catchy but functional theme tune where they join in on the second verse and an hour championing the most mundane members of the public. Make it happen Boris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators neil Posted December 16, 2019 Author Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2019 No replies to this? (Not counting the above) Back in the UKFF heyday this thread would be on page 10 by now. No wonder the forum is as bad as its ever been! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 All I can add is that my mate who had me as his best man had Michael Barrymore videos and used to do his material around the shop floor where we worked as if it was his own. Post scandal. Best man, more like better man awoooo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallicks Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Due to an error in developing a roll of film, Michael Barrymore was superimposed onto a photo of a relative's confirmation. Was a staple family story for a few years, "remember when Michael Barrymore...?" until the unpleasantness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted December 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2019 I heard he's not doing panto this year. He did Aladdin a few years back and never heard the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2019 I remember Barrymore singing Backstreet's Back on My Kind of Music. 2008 was the year my dick returned from hiding in its ball sack after watching that. Frank Skinner is the only other man who thought "they'll love hearing me sing, I'm an alround entertainer." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2019 That Aladdin joke is as old as the one about Barrymore being kicked out of the leisure centre for putting his fags out in the pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators neil Posted December 16, 2019 Author Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2019 YouTube has a lot of videos of people appearing on my kind of people/music mostly uploaded by themselves. Really dragging out that 15 minutes of fame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blake Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Susan Boyle appeared on My Kind of People, pre BGT fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew this!  Like a lot of people here, I read this forum while having a dump. It’s funny the amount of trivia we must have learned while sitting on the old Armitage Shanks!

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted December 16, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2019 Full episodes of My Kind of People/Music are one of my lost TV holy grails, especially the one where he covered Puff Daddy's I'll Be Missing You. A cultural loss right up there with the Library of Alexandria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
