Rory Bremner explores the BBC archives for an affectionate look back at the career of Barry Norman, who hosted the BBC's Film Review show for 26 years, and passed away in June 2017 at the age of 83. The programme pieces together a selection of Barry's best bits, from famous interviews to reviews of classic movies, encompassing his frequent trips to Hollywood and the Cannes Film Festival. Barry's love of language and ability to puncture the ego of Hollywood's most pompous superstars made him the nation's favourite film critic. Plus a look at his life before television beckoned, discovering how his first love wasn't films at all; he actually preferred cricket.
