andy-hughes, she didn't move away - she pretended to kick him and then crouched down to sing to him – and throughout the whole episode her voice didn’t waver. No shock or surprise involved there. Whilst it’s true that Asperger’s sufferers are not always the best at social interaction, I think you do them a great injustice in assuming they’re incapable of rehearsing something as ridiculous as that. It was very clearly an act.
//But I would wonder why anyone would think that looking up a woman's skirt on film, and in public, albeit for 'entertainment purposes' - was something you would want to do at all, much less rehearse in advance! //
Because presumably he and the producers of the programme thought it amusing - and the audience seemed to agree.

Naomi - on reflection, I think you are correct in your summary, and I certainly meant no disrespect to any Asperger's sufferers by my viewpoint.
As far as the producers thinking that Mr Barrymore's sledgehammer humour would be seen as amusing, you could well be right, but I bet he wouldn't get away with it now!

It is mamya - which leads me to the same conclusion as others on this thread - that Barrymore was of his time, and his time has gone.
That sort of 'light entertainment' no longer finds a mainstream audience, so his TV career is probably unsalvageable.
That is not to say that he may not remain a theatre and cabaret draw - we shall have to see.

AOG - I seriously doubt Mr Barrymore's ability to host a chat show.
Hosting a chat show looks deceptively simple, which is why they people who do it are paid so handsomely - it is precisely anything but.
I also think that his galaxy-sized ego is unlikely to have been diminished by the prospect of being vindicated of issues with the police - and that presents itself in his prickly self-absorbed TV persona which was, as divebuddy advised, on its way out when he fell from grace.
I cannot see a major clamouring for Mr Barrymore's return to mainstream television. He was already exhibiting the well known 'monkey' scenario - the higher he climbed, the more of his unpleasant bits were being seen.
