only works in the UK sadly.

[@RadagonTheRed]

Coogan’s portrayal of Savile is absolutely masterful. He is so accurate that you forget you’re not seeing the real Savile. If he doesn’t win a BAFTA for this it’s a crime.

Nah, he didn't go "uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh" enough for me.

This could easily be an Alan partridge sketch, Alan going to a fancy dress party thinking it would be really funny to dress as Saville, then being quietly asked to leave for causing offence to the rest of the guests 😂

[@robertmcelwaine7024]

@paulconway3365 How so? He pretty much named and shamed Savile during a radio interview that was suppressed by the BBC. And in doing so he had potentially put himself in Savile's crosshairs where the DJ could have sued him for libel had it been made public. Therefore I fail to see how you can say he was just as bad.

The Reckoning was so good, chilling but good. Steve really embodied Jimmy Savill and deserves a BAFTA for his performance. Also the guy on the left is actually one of my friends Armand Beasley, who is an amazing makeup artist as well as an actor.

I didn't see the final episode at the time, but, sadly, I remember a friend telling me that he'd seen it and how emotional the ending was. Jimmy fooled everyone.

[@anthonymitchell8893]

he fooled me as well that's why I have a colostomy bag i know it's a bit late in the day but i think I should sue the shite (no pun intended ) out of the bbc

he fooled a lot of people...but it was the more higher ups than the middle people who knew what savile really was

Steve Coogan is a Brilliant Actor 😎👍 his Portrayal of Jimmy Saville is Spot on

[@Robby334]

What a cast! brilliant in every way

[@thedrewdog]

Steve deserves an award, he was an absolute ghoul in this show, and I forgot I wasn't watching Jimmy's corpse come back to life.

[@ianoliver7271]

I recall, as if it were just yesterday, growing up in the 60s as a 11-/12-/13-year old and watching Top of the Pops and this tormented rat. You know, even back then, so many of us kids used to talk about Saville being a weirdo; it was plain for all to see. How right we were! Oh, and by the way, a first-class series and Steve, an incredible performance

[@erinmccutcheon3751]

Actually, calling him a rat would be too lenient. I'd prefer vermin.

The fact this is shown on the Savile loving BBC takes the P.

[@comfibold]

They'll be doing shows on Stuart Hall and Rolf Harris next.

[@maxington26]

So you'd rather they just ignored it? I'm hoping it's a good sign, personally. Don't get me wrong - I'm sure there's still all sorts of shit happening at the BBC, and also the Newsnight cancellation should have been dramatised in this, rather than being consigned to a footnote. But if you watch the 4 hours - the BBC cover-up is generally portrayed quite honestly and openly. That's why I take the broadcast of The Reckoning on BBC1 at 9pm, one of the most coveted slots in what remains of international terrestrial TV, as an encouraging thing. Feels more honest than rejecting the commission, and it being on ITV or Channel 4, with a load of adverts. Not sure that would have been possible.

[@gunsharck]

@@maxington26THEY DID IGNORE IT, that’s the problem

[@maxington26]

[@RANDYSWELLBURG]

Yawn

[@Vicki_lewis]

Amazing how coogan portray him voice

[@medalion1390]

Coogan’s portrayal was spot on but I don’t think the makeup quite worked for the scenes of him as an old man. When you see photos and videos of him in his old age, he really did _look_ like a disgusting, unwashed, grotesque figure that you’d go out of your way to avoid whether you knew him or not.

[@CorridorJ]

I agree but I think it wasn’t such a big deal cause coogan nailed his creepy mannerisms so well

[@truthseeker3503]

Steve Coogans performance, slightly veared towards Alan Partridge in some scenes but it was a decent impression of Savile.

[@jasonclarke7422]

[@thigearlatha]

Im disgusted at the BBC getting plaudits for this when they were complacent in Savilles crimes. They will also make money from it selling it abroad. No matter how good Coogans portrayal is, the BBC involvement and cashing in on crimes they helped saville commit is a disgrace.

now then now then - thatchers was his biggest supporter

[@finncullen]

Hardly surprising considering she was the successor to Ted "Drop the Jersey care-home kid off in the middle of the channel" Heath, and presided over a cabinet of kiddly-diddlers. Open secret back then that Savile and the Tories were helping each other out to procure kids and cover things up.

[@Bopsterboy]

'Thatchers' is a brand of cider. You mean Margaret Thatcher.

[@SWR112]

Absolutely chilling portrayal of one of Britain’s highest celebrity offenders. Steve has captured the personality, the mannerisms so accurate it’s frightening. And that is from someone who grew up watching Savile on TV. I seriously don’t know if to watch this and find out what really happened and be angry and disappointed he hoodwinked a entire nation but for the few who tried and knew to expose him even more than I do now. But it looks compulsive viewing for a certain generation.
