Jimmy Savile on BBC Open to Question 1988

Found this on an old video in a box - I was in the audience with a few others from Castle Douglas High School - I never asked a question, but it makes interesting viewing in hindsight!

[@discobiscuit3134]

As a child in the 80s, I remember my mother couldn't bare to have him on the TV as he gave her the creeps. It seems her intuition was spot on.

They did but the answers are too composed for there not to have been pre-submitted and prepared for by Saville. The best of liars slip up on the spot and he knew it. There was a total lack of normal, momentary pauses by him, to consider the answers to some quite complex questions. While the audience probably suggested the questions they are almost too polished also and seem to be without prompt cards as you would see people reading off on similar type shows today like Question Time. That's not to take away from the young people in the audience who were articulate and showed great composure (id have been a ball of nerves, mixing up words even reading off cards if on TV like that).Maybe vid Kevin Geddes would recall whether questions were submitted to or selected in some way by the producers? If so that despicable individual would have manipulated something to maintain cover and provide answers that could even be gain from the manner in which he answered - it was alluded to that he could or should be a politician for example. Regardless a horrible man, disgraceful circumstances where a serial predator could be so high profile and hide in plain sight basically due to money/fundraising and a culture of fear and silence. I hope the lessons learned have duly resulted in the proper and thorough protection of vulnerable people, I say as much in hope as in confidence!

Basing on Savilles' rapid fire answers, it's quite clear questions were submited in advance. No pause for consideration and reflection.

@@happyuk06 Agreed! Initially I was feeling bad for him. He was being picked on i thought. And as the show continued, this proved to be right. I started rooting for him. He was smart as a whip. Answering all questions, even mean spirited ones, posed to him on his humanitarian works, with intelligent rational rebuttals. Managing to cleverly make light of his suspected sexual ways. So good was he , that you see a few of the kids nod their head in agreement as he knocks down their own questions. What might have begun as a witch hunt, ended being more a "For he's a jolly good fellow...for he's a jolly........" pep rally. Sponsored, coordinated and brought to you by the wonderful folks at BBC.

A friend of mine suffered a spine injury and was in Stoke Mandeville for some time about 10 years ago, he got to know the nurses who were treating him over time. Not one of them had a positive word to say about Savile, he groped and pawed them, tried to kiss them at any opportunity. They felt they couldn't complain to hospital management as they wouldn't take their complaints seriously and simply fobbed them off with comments like "That's just Jimmy, that's his way". The hospital was shit scared of losing the revenue from his Marathons so simply swept it under the carpet.......yet they knew he was a wrong un.

His every word is spoken with conscious effort as he makes it up as he goes along, with his hand gesticulating as a marker for every word.

It also follows that A levels, trade apprenticeships, City and Guilds and such, were a better standard than today's offerings.
