Louis Theroux on His Relationship With Jimmy Savile and THAT MJ Tweet | Edinburgh TV Festival 2019 

Jimmy had two older brothers Vincent and johnny, they were like peas in a pod. Johnny got booted out of his job in a hospital in South london, yes you guessed it sexual misconduct. Nothing known about Vincent?

@@micheald3716 I thought Jimmy Savile was an only child didn't realise he had siblings.

@@sugarsundae3400 yes two brothers very unsavoury types.

Well said. One often hears the mantra "why are they only talking about this now"

thanks for this share.

There already are some.

Steve Powell - they are more than partly responsible. He was allowed free access to young children through them, made famous enough to head up children's charities. The BBC has a statue created by a paedophile boldly decorating their building. I think it is meant to be Isaiah offering up his son as a sacrifice. It's a man presenting a naked boy. What the hell has that to do with broadcasting?

I belive the BBC are whole heartedly responsible for Saville and his disgusting vile crimes

@@loulou6760 I think Jimmy Savile was responsible for his crimes.

@@Lunarfacia yes and the BBC gave him the TV sets, funds and children.

exactly

These monsters can't operate without blind eyes being turned. Acquiescence of neutral/''good' people is the only way evil can survive in this world, and the few control the many.

Where did he work.......? >.>

Too right, dude

terrortorn - Police to blame not BBC.

Are you comparing licensing agreements to the abuse of children ?

I wonder who censored the clip?.... Can someone find the clip she's talking about?

@@gerome9874 in the UK, people are forced to pay for the upkeep of the BBC.... Although nowadays its called a "TV license fee"..... Hardly anyone over there knows that the BBC sell programs to other countries with a huge profit... And they profit from advertising in every other country in the world.... Only in UK do people pay said fees... And its compulsory.... So the people of UK were forced to pay for that sick b***ard to actually abuse his victims and to keep it quiet 😠😠😠 the BBC is also complicit..... But they're bulletproof since they are part of the "old boys network".... Something else visitors here should find out about....

@@the_Harbinger_666 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w4nI2-rATRg.html i believe it’s this one

Tom Bufton, thanks for the link... Much appreciated 😁👍🏻

Didn't bbc blacklist Johnny Rotten after speaking out about savile

A girl i know was on one of Savilles shows and he touched her on the arse in what she described as a very sexual way,she was fourteen at the time,in all honesty there were many other pop stars and actors engaging in this behaviour.I detest the BBC,always taking the moral high ground and letting decades of abuse go on under their watch.Never paying the fee again

I remember one episode of his show 'Jim'll Fix It'. He would 'fix' children's dreams often getting other famous people involved. I can't remember what he fixed but I remember the little girl in question being very grateful, but more so to the star he fixed for her to meet, than to Jimmy. The look on his face was very revealing, sort of jealous and annoyed that all the gratitude wasn't going to him, and he more or less ordered the girl to come and show gratitude to him. I thought then he was weird and creepy. In retrospect it was a perfect show for grooming because I'm sure he thought the 'gratitude' of the children would allow him to take liberties with them behind the scenes. I wasn't an adult myself at the time when I watched it.

Helen Trope This criminal took “hiding in plain sight” to the most extraordinary lengths. It wasn’t just the B.B.C. that he conned, what lessons can be learned?

Tom Mears I always disliked the f*****. It seems like we should trust our “gut instinct” more.

I used to be sent out of the room by my stepmother when that nonce came on the tv. I knew what a nonce looked like from an early age and my stepmother didnt like me saying so.

@Qwfwq66 Funny, I can remember feeling the same as a small child!

Same

Jim loved children! More than the catholic church. And children loved Jimmy and the Catholic church in the British Empire. Good old days.

I didn't.

Yea man super fuckin creepy.

I told my mother in no uncertain terms to never write to Jim’ l’fix it 😬

@@thomashassall96 but what's really creepy is the way it was tolerated - if you're rich and famous you can be as evil as you please.

**I know it was the 'flashy 70thies'and all , but he dressed like a B movie pimp.

Same...

He was protected because he was basically the chief child procurement for the royals and the establishment pedo bastards. Why wouldn't they protect their best supplier for their sick needs

@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 prove it mate .. simple really .. you make the claim now.prove it

@@londoner9401let me guess the BBC didn't know what he was up to either and Prince Andrew is innocent as well is he? The establishment is full of em.

That's still not proof. Though saville, glitter, the fact there were so many of them and now Prince Andrew had been uncovered too and distanced from the royals, and that's the ones they could be bothered to uncover that didn't die decades ago. There was a drama series 'Dead Head' that the BBC have tried to bury, it's worth a watch.

well I an there is nothing sinister in that, it's just that people don't like to discuss unspeakable things !

I watched the program, I don’t even remember that, he was so sick 🤢

@@davidhat2446 Dude. He was a necrophiliac.

@@drnope3289 well its not a crime to love your mother !

Totally alone with his dead Mother, no other morners, BEST TIME OF HIS LIFE..... WHAT IN THE WORLD, WOULD NOT SURPRISE ME IF HE WAS HAVING SEX WITH HER.. OMG

He was involved in Sutcliffe s crimes. One victim died in park back of his flat in Leeds. There was a photo of him introducing Frank Bruno to Sutcliffe in Broadmoor. Won't find it now. Wiped from the internet...

@@engste678 Are you referring to this.. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/jimmy-savile-frank-bruno-reveals-1430910

The kids on elm Leeds are mine Ho Ho Ho

@@jimmysavile8391 So are you Santa now? Ho Ho Ho?

@@engste678 still pictures though bro

Must be chilling to consider what could've happened. Glad you got out unharmed.

@@jennytaylor3324 Well my parents both attended and the hospital was very busy that night so that helped but thank you for your comment.

What a scary situation, Thank God nothing else happened. He was SO DISCUSTING to LOOK at. How utterly horrible experience for the children he got to. GOD BLESS YOU.

@@peggygarland6632 Well as far as I know nothing happened.He was out of sight from everyone for an unknown period,seconds or maybe nutes and throughout my life ive had physical issues which may be due to other things but it makes you wonder.

He always looked weird, especially when on Top of the Pops. Strange looking. The hair, everything about him & he died without having a day in prison. What a shame he missed it. I'm sure the others in the prison would've Fixed It For Jim. Filthy vile sicko & all the people that knew at the BBC. Etc etc

You know that ! + all the adults lapping up his stupidness , couldn't stand his ugly disgusting mug , obvious he was a nonce

Your gut instinct is your best friend

LenaLamont yep, I used to barricade my bedroom door to stop Santa getting in my room while I was asleep too. True story, my mom thought I was odd 😂

I always got the vibe too, and from Rolph Harris and Bill Cosby. My parents used to think my disgust for them was funny.

Me too!

Over acting all the time. It was so fake.

Yes.

You may've read it, but a man said when he was on Jim'll fix it, jimmy took him in his dressing room to abuse him, and he said someone opened the door, and said "Oops!"

@@braxfan683 Incredible!

As soon as the story hit 'Children In Need' released a statement saying that as soon as they knew about his behaviours they banned him from appearing... why didn't they report him to protect the children in need??

@@braxfan683 there's so many similar stories that just aren't true. I don't believe half the things Savilles been accused of are true. Strange how no one said anything until years after his death, people are just after compensation.

Takes a wrong un to know one?

Wow.

Best friends with so called royalty and access to their palaces.. Charles was saville good friend and Andrew was Epstein.. the queen has raised two peados but we're supposed to clap when she drives past still..ok

Often people with antisocial traits are victims of abuse and childhood abuse and they are very good at spotting abusers .. I was abused as a child and I can smell pedos .. I've always known .. I've always suspected people of being one and come to find out later they were in fact predators ..

@@katieb2098 My dad was and he was a fucking asshole. Didn't do that to me though. Just beat me real good.

They had to have known they had news articles that Savile blocked with lawyers. Louis says he had a aunt who worked for the Daily Mail in the 80's and told him a story they were going to run about Savile was blocked.

He seems very vague and evasive to me

Saville was an intelligent psychopath. Saville owned the narrative, almost to the end. Saville wore the mask well.

@@annevetter6864 his body language 4.28 onwards, says a lot again at 7.06 when ever talking about pedos and love he leans away from the interviewer, may be he has been abused himself, but I am not in any way an expert

Any physical evidence against JS?

I don’t think so. I feel like he was complicit just as everyone else that was around the Pedo

I wonder why

Really Sherlock?!

@Paul Hoye you know this as a fact?

@Paul Hoye oh well....that proves everything.

Savile was himself in those high places. He was nationally famous, loved widely for very public charity work, and a multi-millionaire.

When’s that clip ?

They don't have permission to show that clip either I'm guessing.

Haven't seen that, but I can see why anyone would just think that's just a joke. That sounds like the type of thing my dad might say, and as far as I know, he was not a bad guy.

Lol did he say that

I know right they flip the script fast to a proven innocent man .

@@ness-lu6pl agreed. But I’m just having a joke

@@ness-lu6pl He was never proven innocent, he was not guilty, not the same as innocent.

@@ness-lu6pl Also Michael Jackson had a nude picture of Jonathan Spence in his room, guilty.

@@davidlast1370 Nope

I can say the say about Dawn

His documentaries are brilliant

He knows the right people his brother or cousin was married too jennifer aniston

He is connected

Sutcliffe was terrified of saville even after he died

@@thomashassall96 how do u know that ??

What about lindsey jo rymer? Not sure that ive spelt her name correctly,she disappeared yards from his holiday caravan and the local priest tipped the "police" off

@Northern Monkey you do know that the police looked into it in an actual live investigation,so theres something there

He was questioned / named in a tip off to Yorkshire Police

Will PAY WHEN THEY STAND BEFORE GOD

I’m sorry that happened to you.

He always made me uncomfortable whenever I saw him on screen as a kid. It wasn't a surprise and I can't see how a smart guy like Theroux seems to have been taken in. Rolf Harris was a shock though- granted, he's not as bad as saville, but he seemed 100% harmless

If you watch the clip again where Louis talks to Saville about the accusations you'll notice Saville says "nobody KNOWS I'm a paedophile" then quickly adds "because I'm not" I always remember this sticking out because it seemed like a guilty slip up.

@Qwfwq66 that's a good point

@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 he didn't say that rewatch it

@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 He says "Nobody knows if I am or not" then after a moment adds "I know I'm not"

I remember that clip of Louis “bum licking” Sir Jimmy Saville, but it seems to have disappeared. I believe Jimmy said he could help Louis and he of course reacted very favourably. Louis doesn’t recount this part very often (OK Never)

@@ohdear1481 what do you mean, what happened in the scene?

the pair of Them shared a kid .....-sick ......!!!!

Do you think?

He didn't try hard enough to tell anybody who would listen.

@@EXITMUSIC2011 well no. He was told he would be sued for saying it. I heard that bit too on the clip thats it on with with pierce morgan. Who also hung out with all these people savile gary glitter max clifford cliff richard jonathan king and so on

Mate, it's worse than that looking back at top of the pops footage. I wouldn't recommend it or if you do, have a bucket handy.

@@cloudy7292 why what did he do on top of the pops ?

Yet strange how no one said anything until year's after his death. I don't believe half the thing's Saville has been accused of is true people were just after compensation.

@@sugarsundae3400 That's a disgusting comment to make and I'm not explaining anything to the likes of you. Imagine how his many victims would feel reading your comment. Shame on you to even attempt to excuse what he did. Disgusting wretch.

Sugar Sundare Some tried and even went to the police but where not taken seriously.

@Boris The Blade I’ve never thought so till I watched this now I wonder.....who feels they are a friend of Saville I’ve gone right off Louis

Imagine if a friend you'd known for 20 odd years turned out to be a nonce it would weird u out

Are u columbo

@86CJH Yes, because they're controversial people and topics and they make good TV. He's touched on porn several times but he isn't a porn star. He's been to multiple prisons but he's not a criminal.

Some people will see guilt and conspiracy everywhere they look; they're just as twisted.

Got any evidence for that?

@@sirandrelefaedelinoge Some people can only find the feeling of intelligence from seeing guilt and conspiracy everywhere. It has the added bonus of delusion of moral grandeur. Deep down inside they are no more than mediocre, boring and petty.

I think if Louis did have suspicions, and let's face it, it was common gossip from as far back as the early 1970's that Savile was a kiddie fiddler, then he (Louis) probably considered that all he would be doing by speaking out, was attempting to put an ageing, very popular media figure in the dock. People here are referencing the Johnny Rotten comments. I believe the comments by Jerry Sadowitz were far nearer the actual truth.

I think he's very uncomfortable that it was something that made him famous at the time and is retrospectively pointed to as evidence. Plus he got suckered in by Saville's charm and it really hurts to admit stuff like that.

Not much of an investigative journalist if he didn't dig deeper given this was a possible "thing" with JS and given he had formed a friendship with him, he was in a good position to probe off camera as well as on, he's just waffling in a pathetic voice at his own lack of integrity, no credibility whatsoever!!! Numpty!!

@@greenhowie I'm gobsmacked anyone ever found Savile charming

He does look very uncomfortable tbh

Steamer could only look at the evidence presented. The evidence was not presented, it was covered up.....those who covered up to blame not Starmer. Obvious really, but why let the truth spoil things?

We now have the benefit of hindsight

@Aquagirl 🎏 what the hell are you on about? Brand hasn't abused anyone as far as I know

@@iain2080 "As far as I know". That's the point, really: we don't know. How would we know? Brand's always seemed a bit sleazy to me, and his latest YouTubing doesn't fill me with respect for him, but I don't know anything beyond that. We don't know until we know.

What do we all think now? @@akizeta

@@xplaybwoix "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?" - Paul Samuelson (though often attributed to John Maynard Keynes, and Winston Churchill)

It’s what Theroux is mostly about.

I'd still rather read his book than cheap insults by armchair moralists on youtube comments.

Birds of a feather. It's not a coincidence, you know? The BBC protects pedophiles. That's a fact! I are quite sympathetic to pedos. You want to confess anything? This guy, prince Andrew, Harvey Weinstein, Epstein, Clintons, Podesta's, BHO, Soros...

Well said

Boring nerd, must be holding serious dirt on someone to make a career front of camera when you've got a face for radio, a voice that could put a hyperactive child to sleep and the abilty to keep faking sincerity and interest.

He never answered mine either - I consider it a lucky escape.

Never. Louis was key to getting the under 30s on side. Jimmy thought it would help him lose the weirdo image

That was his name...

Exactly what I thought, Alison. Savile - Jimmy makes him sound friendly.

Because you know, thats his name?

Because calling him a Child Fucker is too harsh for the snow flakes we bring up today 🤣

Well perhaps you are just going to have to learn not to overreact to things.

Nonsense

Balls

...Never praise a pedophile . . . !!!!

Yeah,inphuckin'deed. 💯⚠️

And from all walks of life.Some respectul people

I know it's the era of misinformation but have you perhaps got any proof?

@@ryshed4365 Paedophiles come from all walks of life from vicars to parish councillers to police officers to teachers to social workers to gardeners to those unemployed from rich to poor

@@ryshed4365 I'm with you mate .. loads of fuck nuggets making accusations... if they had a modicum of proof surely they would step forward with it .. surely ?

Funny how saviles middle name was Churchill...Winston himself having royal blood and the rumour Elizabeth 2nd had relations with said prime minister...just saying...savile was spawned from them hence protection...

He said that comment in 2 other interviews i have seen one on hignfy and i think the andrew neil one. He was blatantly telling everyone

Spot on - nobody but nobody knew anything - they ALL just SUSPECTED something, nothing was ever proved until after he died - Hindsight is a wonderful thing

A one teated cow mmmm very interesting

Wrote 3 times myself... :( But I heard he only responded if you included a photo... hmmm...

FUCK me... no don't. ... I remember the day I posted him a letter into the box at the end of the street and my mam watched me all the way from a distance. She used to tell me about strange men........I was sending mail to the strangest. .... the irony.

Yup I noticed that too & totally agree

There was always a prop or wacky diversionary tactic when pinned down on a tough question

@Diazepam Rats are very intelligent which is why they are used as guinea pigs.... if you know what I mean!

He said "Ghostbusters 2016 sucks harder than a six year old boy on a two-week trip to Neverland."

He was supporting Leaving Neverland

@@TheHiphopgems well, of course he would lol remember, these people were the same ones who sucked up to Savile but bashed MJ in the media while they were both alive lol you can’t trust these people

The fact he skimmed over Saville hanging out with the royals....yeah, we know why!

He’s not rattled, this is how Louis talks

He wasnt ever cleared of anything. He settled out of court in one case. The two most recent cases he couldn't be tried for. Why do you think he was investigated for 10 years by the FBI, because they thought he was a paedophile, they just couldn't get concrete proof or witnesses willing to testify. The FBI do not spend thousands of dollars of tax payers money and resources if they don't think there is substance to an allegation. Even a not guilty verdict does not mean the person is innocent, just that the jury considered there was not enough evidence to convict without a doubt, not that there was no evidence at all. If an enquiry clears someone, it is called an exoneration, he was never exonerated. In some countries, including Scotland, there is a 3rd verdict, which I believe should exist everywhere, " not proven." This means the jury believe the person to be guilty but consider they would need more evidence to vote " guilty," whereas the " not guilty " verdict means they genuinely believe the person is not guilty. As it is most countries only have "guilty" and "not guilty, " so the jury has to pick between the two, which leads to the confusion that a person found " not guilty " is innocent, when without the option of a 3rd verdict, it means nothing of the sort.

MJ paid of Jordans parents the first time and god knows how many others he Paid off and made them sign a NDA. He was a nonce.

@@jodieandrobbieyorke MJ settled the civil case because the judge wouldn't put the criminal case first. The criminal trial went ahead and two grand juries couldn't indict him. Before he made it public, Jordan's father demanded 20 million off MJ first and MJ refused. He then demanded 1 million and MJ still refused. In relation to the NDA, that was a mutual decision by all parties as MJ was counter suing for blackmail and extortion. Best to research before you mouth off. Thanks :)

@@waynegill6648 Michael Jackson had a nude picture of Jonathan Spence in his room.

@@aspiknf False. He didn't as that was never found by the FBI. If you want to talk about this, go and learn the facts. Otherwise, don't bother with gossip and hearsay

AldershotDave that he was a nonce

Basically that anyone who could watch Leaving Neverland and still defend Michael Jackson is in massive denial

@@lutalice You're ignorance and stupidity is staggering!!

What exactly are you implying? I’m seeing lots of comments like yours implying some form of bad faith on Theroux’s part but what did he do wrong, in your opinion? In my view his interactions with Saville followed the exact same trajectory as with basically everyone else he interviews. Are people mad at him for not chaining Saville to an interrogation table, bringing out a cattle prod and some pliers and exacting a confession? Let’s pretend for a second that Louis came into this by immediately grilling Saville about the rumours (which is what they were at the time) - how long do you think that interview would have lasted?

@@bigbowlowrong4694 Let's just say he has BBC links. He knew what was going on. As did all. They were well beyond rumour. He still used Savile to climb the dark ladder.

bollocks .. .

Its a thorny issue for him, he basically prob feels a lot of guilt by proxy. He's normally a lot more eloquent, but he also has the pretending to be aspergers style of interviewing to get ppl to open up

@@neillp3827 - yes, he normally is. Probably one of the best interviews that for me that he’s ever done was when Joe Rogan interviewed him on Joe’s podcast talking in great detail about Scientology and all the people behind it. Absolutely fascinating it was!

Great comment i agree

The Edinburgh TV Festival did not have permission to show the clip publicly, i.e here. That clip will be owned by someone and the licence they got for it was for a specified audience NOT YT

As a child I watched Jim'll fix it the premise of the show was to give a child a great experience. Children all wanted to write in to have a chance of a lifetime experience. He came across as an eccentric uncle but always a bit odd. I never wrote to him but if you watched this show now it was so obvious he was using this idea to groom children. I cannot believe how he was allowed to get away with this. How the producers etc allowed this to happen is unfathomable

He didnt answer or pick anyway production team of receptionists did

it wasn't general jackson who put troops into NI i know because I was at the decision.

@@gloria3098 I did not write that he put the troops in ..
