Jimmy Saville

Thoughts? Did he or didn't he?

Heard the recording of him and an underage girl and sounds rather bad.

He is dead ffs just let him rip

He is dead ffs just let him rip

What about his 'victims' that got slapped with a law suit if they let out a murmur before his death?

I dont know much of the story but if i was a victim I woulda done anything to get him outed

Don't care if I ended up broke


Just dont see the point when he is dead

The most telling thing was that I wasn't surprised when the news first broke as there was always 'something' about him.

Right now, it's developing in the same way that the Lance Armstrong story is - the scale of it is the shock.

If there was any doubt as to whether he could clear his name, I don't think his family would have taken down the headstone so quickly.

Sadly, I think it's all too true.

Then your probably a stronger person that the vulnerable people he allegedly picked on. You gotta remember what people might do now they wouldn't do 30/40 years ago. Nonces are clever people and choose their victims well.

There is so many stories is hard to disbelieve them all

Mods gonna be all over this thread lol

Sadly looks to be true

Scale of the BBC/establishment cover up in the 70s and 80s very unedifying

certainly do not belieive things should be left just because he passed away. The aggrieved parties will demand and deserve and investigation of the facts, for their own comparative peace of mind

Sick old world sometimes....

Probably, but people know what boundaries not to cross, I hope as with any thread like this

[horseplayer]

the quotes from his autobiography don't read particularly well

i was actually in an audience for one his "jim will fix it" shows or whatever it was called. Even being 11 or so i remember him being exceptionally strange of camera and displaying what you could say were "strange" behaviours at the very least

i have little doubt he did most of the alleged crimes

[Karabiner]

It's slightly ironically sa"vile" by the way not "ville" as in a Cadillac coupe de ville.

Did anyone see his Range Rover that had a double mattress in the back?

IIRC when Jonathon King was accused and then convicted of abusing young boys he stated at the time there were other people involved and many a finger pointed at Saville.

This shouldn't be forgotten about and the victims deserve an enquiry.

[Sheriff Fatman]

That book cover is extremely disturbing (and I don't just mean the hairstyles) in hindsight.

[Amatay]

Its a shame the wankers dead

[Doobs]

I came across this earlier when looking for the Louis Theroux documentary.

It is from 2000.

Jimmy Savile has been a bizarre icon for six decades. Miner, wrestler, cycle racer, dancehall manager, marathon man, Britain's first D J, Mensa member, book reviewer, Top of the Pops presenter, fundraiser extraordinaire, and perhaps most famously the fixer, the man who would one day realise our childhood dreams. Savile rises from the bed to tell an anecdote from his book-reviewing days. "After a couple of weeks I said, 'I want to expose a book. It's for children and it's dreadful; there's this girl who's well underage and she takes up with a geezer who's yonks old and eventually they schlep off together.' "

What's the book?

"Wait a minute because you're the audience now," Savile chides. "Now bear in mind this was live TV, and I'm saying, personally, I don't think it's a good thing because I don't think an underage girl should be exhorted by her parents to strike up a relationship with a guy five, six, seven times older than she is. And the book - Peter Pan! I got the sack for that." He loves the story, laughs himself silly and hops back on to bed.

Peter Pan. Could be the story of his life.
