Terry said: "I will be outside the studios the day it starts - I will not rest until I know what happened to my son and I want Mr Barrymore to tell me all he knows." "Reporters are people who want information revealed. Now that Mr Barrymore is a reporter maybe he can reveal some information to me. I'll be happy to be interviewed by him any time - and I'll have some questions for him," he added.
