Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story

Deedaa I also saw the 'National Treasures' programme which covered Savile, Rolf Harris, Gary Glitter and Stuart Hall in some detail. Astonishing that they were all so adored and revered and managed to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. It makes us all out to be complete idiots for decades, worshipping them as we did (the public in general, not ever individual person). What I thought strange was that they didn't include Jonathan King who really belonged in that group.

I may watch it, I thought we knew everything about him now, maybe not! I do remember that Louis Theroux interview with him before he died and thinking then he came across as quite sinister. He was very emphatic in his denial of the rumours that surrounded him when Louis Theroux posed that to him in the programme. It seemed that all the powers that be and those working behind the scenes with him always knew he was a predatory pervert and were often literally terrified of him. Quite the monster! and how he took everyone in for so long.

I was interested urmston. Firstly because hecwad dj in town (Manchester) when I was 16. My 17 year old neighbour assured my parents she’d look after me at a Manchester club. We came hone on thr 10.30 pm bus. On the way in, she warned me to keep awsy from Saville , don’t go on stage or back stage if he asked me to. She added if probably be ok because
I was tall and could pass for 17 “he only likes the 12 and 13 year olds”
Then my work meant I continued to hear rumours about Saville snd others in ‘light entertainment’
I can see the prog isn’t for everyone

I found the biopic done a few years ago on Jimmy Savile by Louis Theroux was much more interesting.

Not watching this but I did watch the TV programmes about the 'National Treasures' a couple of weeks ago. The thing that resonated with me was Sasha Wass the prosecution QC talking about receiving the file on Rolf Harris. She said her first thought was "This is getting ridiculous! Rolf Harris?" Then she opened the file and realised he had really done it all.

I started watching it on Netflix last night. Subject matter aside, the documentary/film was stodgy fare. I gave up after about 45 minutes.

Thank you for your views, I will watch it.

He certainly was a vile piece of work.

No wish to watch, he was a vile individual. He always gave me the creeps.

You are so true Miss A.

I will catch it at some point.
I watched a YouTube hour long interview with the detective who was instrumental in uncovering the abuse, and I got the distinct idea that others were involved, who, as yet, have not faced justice (and probably never will)

I’ve watched and conclude it’s a good programme.

I watched it a couple of days ago and was intrigued by the background story, some of which never came out at the time. The old recordings of him show him to be very plausible.

It's not true to say I enjoyed it but it came across to me as a interesting and honest portrayal
