He was certainly a bit barmy but did a lot of good.

That's a chunk of my youth gone. I think he was responsible for the "Under the Bedclothes Club" on Radio Luxembourg when young teenagers would listen to the latest hits on tiny transistors when they were meant to be asleep – then Top of the Pops. He did the first and the last. We shouldn't forget the pleasure he bought to younger kids with Jim'll Fix It and the amount of time and effort he put into his charity work. An odd man but an all-round good egg, I think.

Just heard that Jimmy Savile has died. I used to watch him many years ago on top of the pops , never missed a show, mum and dad had to put up with myself and my sister dancing around the room while the programme was on. It was the highlight of the week and the next day at school we used to talk about all the latest groups(as they were called then ) we had seen and who were in love with till the following week !
