Thank youposted it earlier....
One thing this place excels at is its 20/20 hindsight man.I cannot remember any stories until the story broke.
and also got in and did the graft, portering at the hospitals. I think Stoke Manderville were on the point of going under at one stage, he more or less single handedly raised the profile of the place and got the dosh in to keep them going.

So why the emoticons? At that time he was best known for his charity work and just being a bit strange. As I said, hindsight is a wonderful thing.I didn't know much about Savile at the time but I presume we weren't aware that he had the keys to sexual abuse patients at Stoke Mandeville?

It's well worth watching in full for anyone who hasn't seen it. The bloke clearly had some wiring in his brain amiss. He kept his mam's room in perfect condition for something like 30 years after she died, including all her clothes in her cupboard etc. and would salute a picture of her when he walked in the room.
I think it's pretty obvious why people were afraid to speak out. Those who spoke out risked being turned on by the establishment. It's no surprise that one of the few people who called him out on being a paedo in the late 70's was John Lydon who had no worries about being turned on by the establishment since they already hated him at the time.
I agree with @Harry Angstrom. People are rewriting history here. Before we knew he was a kiddie fiddler everyone loved Jim'll fix it. Ok it'll always be now tainted but he always seemed to be warped in the head but we all turned a blind eye because it was just cracking TV.
Fuckin hell man.When the sister in law was a bairn she wrote into Jimll Fix It to see if he could arrange it for her to meet Gary Glitter
