    Telly legend Sir Jimmy Savile will be named as a ­paedophile in a shocking new documentary.
    Several victims will speak on camera and claim that the star, who died last October, abused them when they were under-age.
    The programme will claim that Sir Jimmy used his position as host of shows ­including Top Of The Pops, Jim’ll Fix It and Clunk Click to find girls who he abused.

    Seems its all coming out now then.

    There was rumours about that prior to his death.
    I have no idea if any of it is accurate or not.

    "The documentary is lined up to be shown in a prime-time slot on ITV1 before the first anniversary of his death on October 29."

    Classy.

    "Nah... listen Jim... I don't want to meet Bananarama that badly..

    I'll let myself out, shall I?

    If he really was a paedophile, surely he would have made more of an effort to look less like one.

    There was rumours of this for years. It would be nice to see some proof if its true.

    Confronted by the ­allegations about Sir Jimmy, his niece Janet Humble has said it is just ­“muck-raking”.She said: “As a family, we just wish Sir Jim could be left to rest in peace. He did more good than bad in his life.”

    "more good than bad"............ ah, that's alright so.

    Went and read his wiki there and there's a link to this obit:
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/8857428/Sir-Jimmy-Savile.html

    I found this section somewhat bizarre:
    Savile always claimed that the key to his success on Jim’ll Fix It was that he actually disliked children, although in later years he maintained that he had offered this explanation to allay any untoward suspicions that he liked them too much. Rumours of under-age sex circulated for some years, although the fact that no allegations of impropriety ever appeared in print seemed to confirm Savile’s own insistence that he had “no past, no nothing”.

    But he was always careful to guard against the possibilities of any misunderstandings, and the predatory intentions of parents or the press. When children knocked on his door for autographs, he would refuse to open it, instead passing the signed photographs and scraps of paper back through the letter box. In later years he even refused to have a computer in his home, explaining that he did not want anybody thinking he was downloading child pornography.
    Seemingly, he was deliberately trying to NOT look like a paedo, seems like a lot of effort.

    I heard rumours he had a super injunction out? Hence why this couldn't come out while he was alive

    Also, I believe he was a frequent visitor to that care home in Jersey that made the news a few years ago, about the abuse that was carried out there. I think theres a photograph floating around showing him there?

    Looking forward to seeing this doc - have heard and read the rumours going back a good few years back

    Also, there's a transcript of a taping of a show, where Paul Merton has a right aul go!!! Shocking read actually

    Seemingly the Krays were involved in this particular Ring.:cool:

    Heard a lot of that above. Especially the injunction bit.
    I suspect that IF true, the truth might come out.

    Wasn't he a colleague of Jonathan King too ? That's at least two bbc primetime (1970's & 1980's era) personalities involved in abuse of children.

    If my memory serves me right she got to meet her favourite author and had some of her own work included in said author's next book.

    Rumors are rumors are not fact. I'd like to see proper research done before judgment starts. Otherwise a man's name and reputation could be tarnished. Of course being dead it won't matter to him, but at the same time. Not a great thing to be accused and then remembered for something that might be wrong.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20 supernature


    He aways creeped me out but I would like to see & hear more evidence before making a judgement.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/8857428/Sir-Jimmy-Savile.html

    Just saw this paragraph:
    After [his mother's] death in 1973, Savile sequestered himself with her body for five days, which he subsequently claimed were the “best five days of my life … She looked marvellous. She belonged to me. It’s wonderful, is death.” In later years he felt obliged to explain that he had not buried her sooner “because the ground was icy”. He continued to keep her room exactly as it was, and would have her clothes dry-cleaned once a year.

    Jesus christ.
