Yeah, still waiting for that book, Pete...

It was (finally) released October 8th, in fairness to him.

Anyone else dressing up as Jimmy Saville for Halloween ?

mike65 · 19-10-2012 5:42pm

Half of Tallaght looks like Jimmy Savile (well that's what I imagine)

I remember this guy when I was young - I always thought he looked disgusting, and never had any interest in his shows - I thought he was pretty cheap overall. I was just a kid, and wouldn't have known about any "underhand" things but I do remember he revolted me as a kid.

Im suprised his Jim'll Fix It show was still on in 1994. I cant recall the guy at all before the Louis Theroux docu, I always assumed he was a 70s, maybe early 80s star only.

I have to say I felt the same. Always freaked me out as a child. Don't know why.

Tigger08 · 20-10-2012 6:51pm

I'm 35 and I remember Jim'll fix it on a Saturday evening at tea-time.

Tigger08 · 20-10-2012 6:55pm

I feel very sad hearing all this awful stories. The news is full of so many disturbing stories every day of the week.

The Sunday People main headline/story tomorrow in UK is

"Jimmy Saville and the IRA"

Not sure whats its about, but might be interesting.

Could be any of the following:

IRA threatened to leak information on him if he didn't hand over money for weapons, etc.
IRA provided him with protestant children to rape.
IRA wanted to employ him after gaining knowledge of how steady his hand was and how adept he was at partaking in illegal activities without getting rumbled.

Or maybe he was just an IRA commander.

As a stop-motion figure, poor Morph was interfered with possibly hundreds of times a day.

The story is that he allegedly threatened people by claiming could call in the IRA to hurt them:

JIMMY SAVILE boasted he knew members of the IRA who could have his enemies hospitalised.

Investigators probing the sex predator DJ believe he used threats of violence to keep his victims quiet during his 50 years of systematic child abuse.

Savile once bragged to a journalist that he could fix anyone who double-crossed him with just one phone call – with startling claims that he had friends in the Irish terrorist group.

He said: “I know the IRA, men from the IRA and you don’t need to ask these guys twice. All I have to do is call my friends in the IRA. They’ll have someone waking up in hospital the next morning eating their breakfast through a f***ing straw.

“I’m serious, don’t f***ing think I’m not serious. I can get them done – just with a phone call, that’s all it takes, young man.”

:mad:

Madam_X · 21-10-2012 2:19pm

Fkn hell!

I read of a few Saville abuse allegations today - ****ing evil cuntt he was if true. A man says he assaulted him as a 12-year-old also.
He was a patron of a school for vulnerable, troubled kids. So calculating if deliberate.

there's a panorama special monday investigating the newsnight business
and the DG is in the mix
-a right mess for the bbc

grey_so_what · 21-10-2012 3:04pm

I can't believe all this...How on earth are people just finding out now?.....

Was everyone so afraid of him?.....

Can't help seeing parallels with the church abuse stuff.
People just seemed to brush it under the carpet back then.

It's kind of strange how everyone kept stuff quiet back then. It wasn't just rural or just urban and it wasn't even just Ireland.

Possibly so take everything.....

It's a disgusting, revolting thing to take advantage of a child no matter what the environment is i.e media, entertainment even the Church...(though the lack of Morals there completely blows my mind)..

Words really fail me how evil flourishes.

The Newsnight editor has stepped aside this morning. Tonights Panorama Special (10.35 BBC England, not sure about NI) should be utterly gripping.

goodie2shoes · 22-10-2012 11:32am

Never liked Jimmy Sa-vile.
Always thought he was creepy.

Just goes to show what can happen when people vest too much respect and power in individuals. Not that us Paddys would ever do anything like that?!!:eek:

it concerns a decision to shelve a programme
and of course NN and panorama are 2 sides of the same coin

i find the internal machinations of these organisations to be totally riveting. sometimes disturbing, but fascinating nevertheless. each to their own ...........

There is near civil war unfolding within the BBC at editorial/channel controller level.

much like the RC church here which claimed to stand for good and we all know how that ended ......

well a least they're facing up to it and being self-critical...something you'd hardly ever see with the likes of RTE

I just logged onto the BBC 1 site and it was there didn't press anything, I guess it will work - waiting for it to come on the tv now

You have to press the link and it says not available for your region. Nevermind. I'll watch it on filmon.

Lapin · 22-10-2012 9:39pm

I would have thought all accounts of child abuse would be considered 'upsetting'.

BBC1 (Panorama) and BBC2 (Newsnight) are discussing the Newsnight Jimmy Savile cover-up at the same time now.

At least they are trying to address the editorial mistakes made, albeit late in the day.
