I Shot Jimmy Savile

[@mdaddy775]

He should've had his mugshot taken too!

[@werewolf1301]

I'm 25, so far too young to have known about Saville. But I now work in therapeutic practice with children, I have to be the most vigilant of the likes of him. Your use of the word "carapace" is perfect. A shiny coat over a core of festering evil. If he ever did any true good, it was providing a key example of how enough fame and wealth will keep suspicion at bay.

[@fredandharryborden]

Thanks for the comment. Im 24 so fortunately wasn't around during his time either... this is my Dad talking and hearing him describe him really makes me sick. Very well said regarding the end of your comment.

[@SuperCanuck777]

He can be seen on some of the TOTP episodes giving voice overs introducing the acts and molesting the girls next to him at the same time with them looking surprised and squiriming. operating in plain site for many years and the stupid nieve british public lapped him up {hopefully not literally}

[@kevinwhelan9607]

The awful truth.

[@jamesw4895]

Actually carapace is a derogatory term for crabs comparing them to this slime ball. Crabs are hard on the outside and delicious on the inside unlike him.

[@raypurchase801]

I live in a town where Savile was a co-owner of a big night club. People who'd met him told me he was a horrible, horrible person but I didn't enquire why. Savile had a reputation for having people beaten almost to death if they crossed him.

[@hugsdontwork2283]

He said later that he did all the charity work to make amends for that person that he used to be. Lies upon lies.

[@kevinwhelan9607]

There was truly a whiff of sulphur about him.

[@chriswardlow9441]

In the 1960s myself and my mates would occasionally go to Scarborough on a Saturday night in the Summer and Saville used to kerb crawl up and down, backwards and forwards on the seafront in his white E Type Jaguar convertible

[@willieckaslike]

He was your actual 'common or garden pervert. But even worse, were the bastards who shielded him and condoned his disgusting behaviour. They too should be put on trial for "perverting the course of justice", if nothing else !

[@makara80]

The mentioned Louis Theroux documentary with Saville is well worth watching for those who haven’t as you will never witness a better example of an egomaniac so determined to ensure he’s presented positively yet achieve the precise opposite every time he opens his mouth… It’s ‘car crash’ TV, in the best possible way. 😉

[@MarkRobertDaveychannel]

Having grown up watching JS like many others in the 70's and 80's there was always something quite odd about him. The photographs you managed to get of him captures him perfectly wearing his trademark bold colours. A really interesting background story to a very odd chap!

[@fredandharryborden]

Thank you!!

[@michelles2299]

I agree I never understood why kids wrote to Jim will fix it I even thought through the screen he came across as both arrogant and creepy

[@bigdonny9159]

The image of him leering holding the cigar absolutely petrified me as a child when his face was all over the papers. Probably the most iconic photograph of Jimmy honestly, perfectly encapsulates how terrifying he was. I hadn’t seen the photographs of him outside the penthouse until now, it’s so bizarre seeing him dressed the way he was in a natural setting away from the TV cameras and sets

[@fredandharryborden]

My Granma lived in an old peoples home run by Nuns called the little sisters of the poor in the late 60s early 70s it was an old austere red brick building in Kirkstall Leeds with dormatories for the residents , Jimmy Savile learned of the place and raised money for a modern replacement to be built in Headingly Leeds where the residents had there own on rooms with bathrooms , its still there

[@UkuleleBobbyKemp]

I interviewed him (ITV documentary I think?) up in his penthouse, around about this time, (maybe slightly earlier). He was definitely a weird fish, (and there were already rumours about him), but he was also pretty affable & funny. He told us about an odd 'self-esteem' thing he did with his cigars - he'd never let anyone film him with anything other than a brand new (full length) Cuban Havana - he didn't ever want anyone thinking he was 'poor...' 🤔😵‍💫 He did a really grim thing tho', to the young girl assistant. As we were leaving, he took her hand, (as if to do the 'comedy French' kiss on the back of it). But he then pulled a 'switch' and *Licked* her arm, right up to the elbow! God, I bet that poor girl exfoliates her arm at least 3 times a day - even now!... 🤢🤮

[@fredandharryborden]

That is a foul story at the end! And wow that must of been interesting, you are one of the lucky (unlucky?) few who he actually let up into his penthouse..

[@UkuleleBobbyKemp]

@@fredandharryborden Thanks 🙏 for the reply - and Yeah, it's definitely given me a few (not so pleasant) anecdotes to share... One (light-hearted) thing I recall: On ringing the buzzer at this building's reception, his voice came over the speaker with: "Hello... Bird Sanctuary!..." WtF?... ;). Another thing I'll always remember - he showed us his 'awards' etc. He was, apparantly, ther only person to be on 'This is your Life' twice! and he also had this bonkers 'Papal Knighthood', which seemed to, almost literally, give him 'the keys to' Vatican City. Absol. crAzy how will though of he was, in so many circles!... Frightening I guess?... 😱

[@FernandoPartridge]

@@UkuleleBobbyKemp There have been 42 people who have been on This is Your Life twice.

[@markshrimpton3138]

In the 1980s I worked part time behind the bar of an hotel in Edinburgh, then called The North British Hotel. Savile stayed there at least twice when I was working there. Now, I’ve met and served many celebrities and famous people but none weirder than Savile.

[@terencehennegan1439]

It’s amazing how one can see him and yet be totally incongruous to his true nature, it’s as if he hypnotised people into seeing him as someone other than himself and thinking nothing of it. Strange indeed.

[@jasonclarke7422]

He was the same as a lot of predatory animals in the wild, very colourful but also very deadly and poisonous at the same time.

[@alexinterconnects]

The photograph is iconic. I agree with decrepit as he went on; he always looked old, but around this time he did Jim'll Fix It Again and he looked ill on it. Great video

[@fredandharryborden]

[@margin606]

Yes people do tend to get old

[@bournemouthisshit]

The carapace: that's an accurate way of putting it. The vile routine. I was about 6 when I first saw him on TOTP. I was instantly spooked by his routine and went into another room. His fundraising lent legitimacy to an otherwise VERY creepy persona. As has been said, a criminal hiding in plain sight, much as priests have done for many years...

[@paulkirton8945]

Worked with him on a Jim'l Fix It episode. Soon discovered his mateyness was totally false and he had no personal warmth at all.

[@njh1811]

Most people I have talked with about JS have said there was always something wrong about him... just a gut feeling

[@petyrkowalski9887]

That Italian restaurant you mentioned, is very likely San Carlo's Flying Pizza on Street Lane in Roundhay, a five minute walk from Savile's apartment in Roundhay park. The restaurant allegedly had mafia ties, so no wonder Savile made the hush hush wink wink comment that they "know him" in there. Being a villain in plain sight was his forte.

[@robertloader9826]

Now then, now then! Fascinating little vignette there into SIR Jimmy's character in the crepuscular days of his life. I would say that I wonder what truly was behind the 'carapace' (great imagery btw) but I think we know now don't we...

[@davecooper3238]

I only met him the once. Only for about an hour & it was more the wife talking to him but he seemed OK.

[@FLAVCO]

I remember chatting on the phone with a young lady friend I'd met on Myspace. This was around 2010 and I specifically remember her saying how she found Rolf Harris extremely creepy. Her intuition told her he was a wrong'un - a sexual deviant and time proved her absolutely right!! I think the lesson there is always go with your instincts!!

[@15bit62]

I was a kid when Jimmy Saville was all over the TV doing "Jim'll fix it" and everything else. And even as a kid i always thought there was something fundamentally wrong with him. Nothing flagged about Rolf Harris though - he was a surprise to me.

I had family in stoke Mandeville hospital and he was consider a SAINT at that place. I met him more then once and yes he was eccentric but Britain is famous for it's eccentrics No one was scared of him everyone loved him .

I was an assistant house manager at the BBC in the late 1970s. Savile had gate crashed the security barrier at Broadcasting House (it was required to show a BBC ID card to get access into the building). We had to stop him and ask to see his ID (okay I know, but that was the rule). We caught up with him at the lifts leading to the continuity studios in Broadcasting House Extension. He was so vile and obnoxious to my boss at that point that I remember that I didn't want to be near this crap merchant... but we had a job to do.

I thought he was a real fruitcake. At the time I assumed he was gay, like Liberachi, Elton John, Freddie Mercury. but with Savile, I thought, "would you want your child dancing on TOTP. getting within range of this guy?". 3 decades later, after his passing. The eventual truth was so, so,,, much worse. It made me much more suspicious of famous wealthy celebrities and public leaders.
