I lived in the UK for almost a decade and Savile was a big deal. Personally, I didn’t like him. I thought he was an ugly smartass with the silly ‘seaside humor’ (sex, sex, sex) mentality of a 14 year old. Always tried to play the ‘working class Yorkshireman’ crap. Just ‘one of the lads’. Fake, fake, fake.
They do love their ‘eccentrics’ in Britian.
Louis Theroux did a pretty good show on him.

Thanks for posting the link, Theroux did a great interview of Evel Knievel too, he manages to bring celebrities down to earth. Jimmy’s keeping the flames warm for all the pervs at the BBC, sick, sad, these powerful people indulge in their perversions and prey on the innocent looking for fame.
