My son had a Savile encounter when he was an apprentice with the local council. It was snowing and his team had taken refuge in their van when there was a tap at the window. They opened it and a man said "The Job Centre sent me to give you lads a hand". It was Savile. He made a few pleasantries, then looked at my son and said "I used to be a handsome young man like you". We have often considered this a narrow escape. I can't claim hindsight enough to say I thought he was 'creepy' when he was on TV, but I never warmed to him, despite the charity work.

Saville was so "in your face " with his disturbing comments that people felt so taken aback they did not know how to react. This is why it was so hard to expose him as his fame and popularity was like a sort of psychological armour which may his behaviour seem too incredible to be regarded as anything but jocular !

[@reverendbarker650]

When a student at an art college in the 70s in the midlands we staged a sit in in the hall as a protest against some of the colleges policies , we were negotiating with the principal, , Eddie , a devious nasty creature at the best of times. A female student walked past him as we were speaking and he pinched her backside. in broad daylight with a half dozen students standing next to him. He did it to say to us,"i can get away with anything". There's now an academic award presented in his name . My sister in law went to a catholic school with his daughter, she was terrified of him and when she began to fail academically, she had a nervous breakdown, was there incest there ? My sister in law has her suspicions. He too was a pillar of society who thought he was invulnerable.. These guys were everywhere in the 70s and we allowed them to get away with this sort of behaviour as we did with Saviile, who I always regarded as a utter creep.

"I'm feared in every girls' school in Britain" - you've got to admit, that is a world-class troll 🥺(and it seems he used it as often as he could)

I have no doubt that the Thatcher, Major and Blair governments knew exactly what Savile was up to, but because he knew so much and could have brought down several high profile people including MPs, actors, celebrities, sports stars and members of the royal family with him, he was never brought to justice. When he died, I have no doubt that several celebrities breathed a massive sigh of relief.

[@gary1961]

You missed the one where he took a group of school girls (now there's a surprise) to meet the then leader of the opposition, his life-long friend, Margaret Thatcher in a Jim'll Fix It episode from about 1978. He has her putting those stupid f*cking badges over the kids' necks. He then asks a curly-haired girl sat next to him to stand up to receive her badge. As she is stood, his hand quite clearly rests on her lower back before quickly moving down to rest on her bottom where it lingers for two or three seconds, while trying to deflect away by talking at Thatcher. It was very cold and calculating but he knew exactly what he was doing. The girl was no more than 7 years old. All the others ranged from the same age up to about 10.

[@dominewimbury2039]

I remember that infamous programme where Louis Theroux interviews Jimmy Saveloy, and how, unlike other episodes of Louis' show, it was Saveloy who set the agenda, was very cagey and it was obvious he had things to hide. I say 'Saveloy' because in the 1960's Benny Hill sent him up in a sketch based on 'Top of the Pops' as 'Jimmy Saveloy'. Clearly Benny knew what was going on even way back then.

I grew up in the 70s and Jim'll Fix It was unmissable every Saturday night, probably just before Dr Who or something like that. Me, my brothers and all my friends loved the concept of Jim'll Fix it - you got to be on TV, you got a dream that you had come true...but I can remember watching the programme and always feeling awkward about seeing him on screen, smoking those stinking horrible cigars and speaking like nobody I knew. I went on to do many half marathons and three marathons. I remember seeing Savile at the Glasgow Half Marathon, it would have been either 1992 or 1993 - 1992 I think. The race started in George Square, Glasgow, and I cheered for Savile and chanted his name like thousands of others. But not in an admiring way - just going with the crowd because he was famous and here he was in my city doing the same race as me, with his usual stinking cigar hanging out of his mangled, anus-like mouth. A friend of mine told me around 2005-ish that there were persistent rumours around Savile and his being a sexual predator and paedophile was an open-secret in BBC circles. That came as a surprise to me - not because it wasn't credible, but because it was just a rumour I got told in a student pub. Clearly, hundreds or thousands of BBC staff knew all about him - but nobody really spoke out until after he died and rotted. I was at my mum's on the day he died, and I quipped "the children of Britain can sleep a little safer tonight". My mum was horrified, and wanted to know why I'd say something like that.

[@americanhottie3333]

It's sort of amazing to watch some of the interviews. The man basically admits to the crimes with a smile and joke shielding him and everyone laughs. He conned a load of people to make him responsible for hospital patients and to be given access to patients and students that no person without absolute power and fame would be given. This is a whole psychology course about manipulation, abuse, power dynamics, and personalities. The man lived without fear or recourse during these interviewers and got away because people really believed the myth and hype he had.

Jimmy Saville had a scar on the top of his foot (not sure which one). My Mother was in a line up to shake hands with a royalty person at some event. Saville was behind her as they organised themselves in the line up. He grabbed her bum, gave it a pinch. My Mum stepped back and put the full force of her stiletto heel on his foot. (Told me that she could feel the crunch) He made a stifled noise and disappeared into the toilet for 10 minutes. He limped for the rest of the time he was there that day.

In a popular BBC documentary Savile and the presenter confront a young woman in a hospital bed for the mentally ill. Savile shows her drawing of him to the camera; it’s in black crayon and he is a monster. “What have I ever done to you?” asks Savile. “Everything” she replies. Savile gives a faux shocked face to the male presenter who laughs. They move on, Savile commenting how sad it is for mental patients such as she, unable to appreciate all he’s done for her. I reckon there and then that girl knew no one would ever believe her, her threat of exposing him as a predator lying in ashes to an audience of millions of people.

Savile is a great example of one way in which society has improved over the last few decades. So many people, at best, turned a blind eye to his behaviour - perhaps the worst being the hospital bosses who were happy to take his money despite the warnings from nurses and doctors about his vile antics. People are quick to moan that “things were better back in the day” but it’s unthinkable that anyone could operate like that now. He’d never pass any of the legal checks needed to work with children and whistleblowers would be taken seriously on such a matter. Of course there are still evil child abusers but it’s far harder now for them to gain access to kids and thank goodness for that.

​​@@ATXviIIIe it would appear he was doing his "comedy bit", and the audience laughed along. So maybe this was his little trick of getting away with it. You can tell at points that Savile was actually quite intelligent, and things were very different back then in terms of scrutiny and rank. Hierarchical rank is still very important but not as important as it was then. Nowadays because of scrutiny we have seen that high rank does have those that do evil deeds. Rumours used to be far easier to keep quiet. So, along with him being a huge TV personality, Savile could joke away about the disgusting truth, get audience laughs (mainly from females) and probably felt untouchable. Which sadly, he clearly was.
