Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal 

As the youngest daughter I wanted soooo badly to get on the Jim'll Fix it show, I asked Mum if I could apply, over my dead body says she, not allowed to even think about watching that programme. Thank ya Mammy xx

Speaks volumes that the BBC still always refer to him as ‘sir’. 😬

This guy was protected by the Royal family for years

He groomred an entire nation.None of us should be smug.Fame,influence and money carry a lot of weight.

Don't call him sir

You missed it.. Jonny rotten told you all in 1978

I was a kid in the 70s and me and my whole family found him deeply creepy, I wouldn't want to go anywhere near him.🤮👎

The BBC covered it up for years.

It is always interesting to ask a once younger sexual abuse victim to provide substantial evidence. Well how many young kids even know exactly what sexual abuse is when it happened even worse to report it to who. Big corporations always fiercely protecting their names and profit- a disgrace.

I’m from the states and it’s become more and more obvious over here that the rich and powerful are protected and a lot have disgusting attraction to children. I have no idea who these two guys are in the video but after reading a little about this savile guy, it seems like this isn’t just a problem over here. Power corrupts most people.....

What a creepy looking man. Pure, pure evil.

Feel so bad for the people that have been traumatized by these diseases

My mum (whose 51 so grew up with Savile on TV) said she never liked him. Maybe she had a feeling that he was dodgy. So if she and many others had a bad feeling about him then you can’t tell me the BBC had no idea.

They should have put him on the bonfire

Abuse has a distinctive smell.😡😤 I deep empathy for the immeasurable discomfort these young people. 🥺🇬🇧

As a child growing up in the 80's I had a poster of Jimmy Saville on my wall , crazy to think he probably had one of me too

I am 68 years old. I had suspicions about Jimmy Savile since the late sixties and early seventies.

The kids on Open to Question really hammered Savile hard. In so doing, with his high IQ explicitly mentioned, Savile was effectively ambushed. Bested by a group of very smart teenagers who came to the programme with one hard-hitting question after another. Savile's discomfort was visible and audible as each searching question rocked him back a little further each time. Whatever genius he might have claimed was not present in that studio on that day. By 1988, Savile's star had faded considerably. As someone who grew up outside the UK and had only a passing knowledge of Savile's existence, I never understood how someone so ugly and talentless ended up as a national treasure. There is much about British attitudes towards public figures that perplexes me. Even discounting the man's criminal deviancy, how on Earth was he able to reach such dizzying heights as a celebrity? He couldn't sing or dance, he was ugly, creepy-looking and not only was he not funny, he didn't laugh. I've not seen any footage of Savile in which he laughed with abandon. There was the occasional knowing chortle, but no laughing. I can neither like or trust people who are unwilling or unable to laugh. Savile's just one of a few who make me wonder about the British in general and the English in particular. I also don't understand why people are so blithe about Piers Morgan on a morning show or Kelvin Mackenzie on a panel show. Both are hateful specimens who have done unconscionable things. Need I remind people about Morgan's fake Iraq story and Mackenzie's front page condemnation of an entire city?

I can't believe that there isn't more in the media about how closely and frequently saville socialized with the royal family.

Met Saville on an RFA ship in Edinburgh. He was onboard as a special guest of military people. We chatted for about 20 mins, then he went off to do something with the military people. Saw him again around an hour and a half later. Asked him how things were going? He said that he was about leave and was off to somewhere in England, as he was “On a promise”. Now I know what was going to happen!!

Can’t bear Starr always gave me the creeps

Starr said he "can't be expected to remember every show he's been on"... yet before the footage surfaced, he was 100% certain he'd never been on 'Clunk Click' 🤦‍♂

The royal family including Andrew knew about this for years

With Freddie Starr having passed away recently, this is going to blow up.

Freddie Starr disguised as Jim Davidson.

Isn't video evidence a inconvenience for people who want to cover up the truth!....as always channel 4 showing what real journalism should be. As a survivor of child abuse, I want to say thank you to channel 4 news for investigating properly... So "Thankyou" you've highlighted cases like this when others wouldn't, child abuse lives in the shadows, so when you and others bring it into the light it helps so so many, and brings justice. Thank you again. #AlwaysReportAbuse

Freddie Starr also met him on Lewis Collins' 'this is your life'

SaVILE

These low life vile people have a golden ticket to abuse whom they will and get full protection in doing so, it is 💯% disgusting and wrong !!

Those perverts got away with all their sordid acts for years and no one did anything

While I feel extremely sorry for those victims, kind of glad to know the true face of Jimmy Savile as I really didn't like him at all even before. Although I am not even sure why I didn't like him back then; just didn't feel right about seeing him on the media. I was always wondered if anyone have ever felt the same thing before, or if I was the only one who just turned off the TV whenever Jimmy appeared.

He was a weirdo. He ruined so many people’s lives and never got to face up to his crimes.

Jimmy had a Jekyl and Hyde character. The bad the kiddy fiddling. The good - charity work, nearly 20 years of Jim’ll Fix It, TV work, radio work, two charities in his name, being Knighted for being good, etc.

are we 100% sure Freddie Starr was innocent? i don't know, something about him changing his story and contradicting himself sounds really sus to me

Every week my sister wrote in to jim'll fix it, to meet Dave lee Travis. 🤣

today they'd make him prime minister

Ch4, you've spelt 'Savile' wrong at 2:13.

The deep BC . instead of the deep blue sea .saville was providing children for the who's who of society .saville implicated prince phillip.

look at his eyes how could people not see that the man should not be round children he look what he is

What a toxic industry.

How’s Pete Townsend’s book coming along ?

I dont think Freddie Starr was guilty of anything but im sure the allegations led to his death later on

terrible is there more..... this looks odd why has all this died down

The BBC crippled Freddie Starr & let the real monster walk free !!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

freddie star was on brunos this is your life with savile

Edwina Curry put him in charge of Broadmoor!! Has not had to explain this extraordinary decision?? Yet in the 1970s nurses were making allegations that he was”touching” children???

Oh no isn't he repulsive, poor children. He is burning

Channel 4, you've spelt 'Savile' wrong at 2:13 🤦‍♂

Media constructed case with a media verdict .

Why was that guy the DG referring to Saville as sir ?

Disgusting 🤮😤🤬😡

George entwistle

liked jim fix it ,back then, & i wanted to get on the show,!! was a kid then,,

Why not report on same day it happens

You can make that 4 times that Star met Savile. On This Is Your Life Savile is a guest for Frank Bruno, and when Savile walks over to sit down he clearly acknowledges Star sitting in the front row.

If only they knew

Sir ?

@1:10, why does the caption "BBC Clunk Click, 1974", appear? It's misleading!!

BBC ,the catholic church, celtic footbal."tarrier are us"

WAYFAIR

Of course bbc knew.....what do you expect from that corporation....disgusting

The Truth always comes out, sooner or later. The world is changing and the citizens of the planet are fed up with those in power either committing horrific child abuse or covering up and protecting those that are, which is just as much a sin. The first is a sin of commission, the second a sin of omission. Both carry heavy penalties. In this life and the next.

What a mingling man

Thank f**k Jimmy never fixed it for me!! 😁

Roger Ordish should be in as much trouble as Saville he must have seen and knew what was going on

I've asked EVERYONE I can to get Ozzy Osbourne... for over four year's

Freddy was a "star" so why would he remember some random unknown girl from the audience? He probably doesn't even remember her, and he probably groped too many to remember who's who anyway. He wouldn't have been the only young male with gropy hands.

The fact none of you picked up he called the pedo “ sir “ 🤮🤮🤮 and the royal family new and was involved

What's the point the man's dead so can't be found guilty or not guilty in a court of law

I have never found Freddie Starr to be funny or realistically entertaining. However, from Ms Carol Ward's testimony, it appears he could have been not much more than an over paid lying creep? So nice to no longer have to endure him or jimmy Saville on our TV screens.

Ordish has a lot to answer for

Esther Rantzen

Get rid of the BBC we don’t need them

WEIRDO

Its wrong & unprofessional to leak this out when jimmy isnt here to defend himself

Jimmy Sir Vile, sounds more apt.

R.I.P. Jimmy, you touched everyone. I'll see myelf out 😜

I know a good lawyer who could get him off. 😂😂😂😂😂

Why speak up when he’s dead ?

His best friend was prince Andrew

That girl must be telling the truth. How would she know who it was. ?

People accept the opinions of authority as gospel.

Jimmy Savile and Cliff Richard. Strange creepy dudes.

Evil

This, dear listeners..is called 'buck passing.' Dodge ball, hot potato...call it....

He had the perfect surname Vile

I wonder if Freddy Mercury was ever 'touched' by Jimmy.

There are so many facets to this, including the response from the British public. Even now, five years after the revelation of Savile as a prolific rapist of children, many British people have a righteous, scattershot approach to blame. For instance, the mere allusion to Savile's rumoured behaviour, antemortem, by comedians like Lee & Herring or Baddiel & Skinner, still result in accusations that they all knew. Bollocks. They knew rumours. Anyone in a position of authority who _actually_ knew the depths of Savile's crimes should surely be judged negatively and if statutes of limitations apply, effectively protecting those who were complicit or those who failed to act, those statutes need swift and comprehensive revision. Another, less well known aspect, is the protocol with regard to knighthoods. My interest in the monarchy and aristocracy in Britain (or anywhere else) is zero. But I _did_ discover a couple of years ago that knighthoods are not stripped from disgraced people posthumously, because the knighthood is deemed to have died with the recipient.

Vile

Freddy, oooo you too

Clunk click? That was just a very short public safety campaign not a show wasn’t it?

the government I think they knew all along how tf does this go on 😮

Was he friends with the Queens son Andrew.

Callums corners best mate

I thought he was creepy when I first saw him in these RU-vid vids.

Over 450 criminal allegations!!!!

So the BBC knew nothing.

Does anyone know Harvey Weinstein

Freddie Starr died

That's the reporter that pissed off iron man 😂
