One night. One death. And a question that still refuses to go away.

In 2001, Stuart Lubbock was found dead in the swimming pool of Michael Barrymore’s Essex home. What followed was one of the most controversial, divisive and damaging scandals in British entertainment history.

In this episode of The Terry Stone Connection, we take a deep dive into the Barrymore and Lubbock case. We revisit the night itself, examine the original investigation, and explore the evidence that was known then and what has emerged since.

This isn’t about headlines or tabloid narratives. It’s about laying out the facts, the unanswered questions, and the contradictions that continue to fuel debate more than two decades later.

Was Michael Barrymore more involved than he ever admitted?

Was his career destroyed by association and suspicion alone?

Or is there a truth that still hasn’t fully come to light?

We break down the timeline, the witness accounts, the forensic findings, and the turning points that shaped public opinion. Then we hand it over to you.

Did he do it?

Did the system fail?

Or was an innocent man never able to escape the shadow of that night?
