Barrymore: The Body in the Pool

The death of Stuart Lubbock, whose body was found in the swimming pool at entertainer Michael Barrymore’s Essex home nearly 20 years ago, was a tragedy for Lubbock’s family and a headline-grabbing scandal that’s never gone away.

It all but destroyed Barrymore’s television career, pushing him into the showbusiness wilderness for years, and left Lubbock’s family distraught and desperate for answers. To this day Stuart’s death remains unexplained. This feature-length documentary, which includes the 999 call that sparked the investigation, speaks to those involved in the investigation, including detectives, pathologists and eyewitnesses. There are contributions, too, from Lubbock’s family.
