This documentary examined the death of Stuart Lubbock, 31, whose body was found at Barrymore's £2million Essex bungalow after a party in 2001.

The TV star has continuously denied any wrongdoing - but police insist divorced dad-of-two Stuart was raped and murdered.

A 2002 inquest recorded an open verdict after failing to conclude what caused Stuart’s death.

Cops believe Stuart was assaulted then either died in the hot tub or went unconscious and was dumped in the pool to make it look like drowning.

Despite several arrests, no criminal charges have been brought over the death due to lack of evidence.

A swimming pool thermometer from the hot tub — which could have been used in a sexual assault on the victim — later went missing.

A broken shed handle, seen by officers, also disappeared and was not found in any bins at the property in Roydon.

Cops said the brutality of the sex assault would match one or both of the objects.

Barrymore left the scene of the crime before the police arrived. Barrymore’s then-PA Michael Browne was called to the house and other unnamed men “close to Barrymore” were also allowed in — giving the perfect opportunity to clean up the scene.

Barrymore later came out with saying Stuart's body had been abused at the hospital mortuary. Can you believe that !

That young lad like any young person went back to the house for a party expecting to have a hangover the next day

Barrymore, I believe not a nice person . We will never know what he or they did to Stuart that night but its definite the lad was forced .

An interview with Bashire on TV was shocking , the body language of Barrymore a joke . Someone in that house knows who did what .

I've just watched it, and it was shameful how Barrymore and the rest, denied any knowledge of Stuart's death. How it was suggested that the horrific anal injuries were caused at the hospital or mortuary, beggars belief. You get the awful feeling this case will never be solved, as the culprits have all closed ranks. Terry, Stuart's father, and his brother, both looked broken by the whole business, it was incredibly painful to watch. Barrymore keeps trying, without any shame, to get back on mainstream television, recently on Dancing on Ice. Thankfully, he fell and broke his wrist, and had to pull out. Pity, it was'nt his bloody neck!!

Didn't Piers Morgan interview him recently, too?

Barrymore, 67, yesterday broke his silence to claim he has been "bashed and bullied" over the death.

Speaking in a video posted in Twitter yesterday, Barrymore said: "Channel 4 are refusing to show it to me or tell me what it is about.


"Essex Police's own QC has said that 'we know that Mr Barrymore has nothing to do with this and that there is no evidence linking him to the injuries on Mr Lubbock or the pool.

"I have had nothing to do with this whatsoever and yet I keep getting bashed and bullied by the media."
