Did Jimmy Savile fix it ?

Sir Jimmy Savile has been accused of alleged sexual abuse against underage teenage girls in an ITV1 documentary to be shown on Wednesday.

It is believed Exposure: The Other Side of Jimmy Savile, will include several interviews with alleged victims of the DJ and TV presenter who died last year.

Sir Jimmy was never charged with any abuse offences during his lifetime.

One complaint was made to Surrey Police in 2007 but following an investigation, no further action was taken.

Sir Jimmy, who presented shows including Top of the Pops and Jim'll Fix It, died in 2011 at the age of 84.

The abuse is alleged to have taken place in a number of places including hospitals, schools and BBC buildings.

In a statement, the BBC said no evidence of allegations on its premises had been found.

"The BBC has conducted extensive searches of its files to establish whether there is any record of misconduct or allegations of misconduct by Sir Jimmy Savile during his time at the BBC. No such evidence has been found.

"Whilst the BBC condemns any behaviour of the type alleged in the strongest terms, in the absence of evidence of any kind found at the BBC that corroborates the allegations that have been made it is simply not possible for the corporation to take any further action."

Sir Jimmy's niece Amanda McKenna, of Kirkstall, Leeds, told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "The documentary makers should be ashamed of themselves cashing in on a man who is dead and cannot defend himself."

For more than six decades, Sir Jimmy was one of Britain's most established showbusiness figures and a leading charity worker.

The country's first pop disc jockey, Sir Jimmy was also a seasoned television presenter, marathon runner, Mensa member, wrestler and fundraiser.

He was instantly recognisable in his trademark tracksuit and chunky jewellery.

Who'd have thought it ??

What next ... Liberace gay ???

Quite. The rumours had been doing the rounds for years.

He was a little strange and no longer able to defend himself so he must be guilty.

Not a response to you two but the programme makers.

Google HIGNFY: Paul Merton: Jimmy Saville

He didn't do a good job about defending himself when he was alive. Because he didn't care - the nasty old paedo. (...and, yes I do know that there is some debate as to whether or not the transcript is a hoax.)

Was reading something yesterday about whenever the papers threatened him with running a story his response was always along the lines of "Well you can run that if you want but you'll be responsible for the drying up of the donations into Stoke Mandeville etc.".

A girl I used to work with reckoned he had a flat in Prestwich which was pretty notorious. Not sure how true that is.

Frankly the transcript seems improbable to me, but we Canadians lead sheltered lives and think of comedy shows as intended to be amusing. I presume if the transcript exists the (unshown) footage does as well.

The bit i didnt get was how him doing an interview with one tabloid stopped another (tabloid) releasing a story on him being a paedo.

More scandal for the BBC as someone is now saying they saw Rod Hull fisting a young bird !

[Gary the Enfield]

They wanna have a closer look at the fecking Crankees whilst they're at it.

[Jakerbeef]

Strange as it may seem that was actually his wife.

But then you knew that and I'm only repeating it because it's unbelievable.

Is this a softball team owned by Ronald Crump?

His poor wife.. She must be what, 15/16 now?! She's old enough to know the severity of these allegations.

The BBC News channel just displayed images of the three women who claimed that Jimmy Savile interfered with them sexually.

They showed a current picture of each of the women and a picture taken of each of them from the 1970s.

The caption read: Now, then. Now, then. Now, then.

What's the difference between Jimmy Saville and a greyhound?
At least the greyhound waits for the hare to appear.
