Excuse my cynicism but now the BBC has announced that magic 5 letter word COMPO , there seems to be rather a lot coming out the woodwork .
^ Yeah. I demand compensation for watching episodes of "Jim'll fix it" & "Clunk Click" when I was a kid - They emotionally scarred me for life.
must have been an open secret in the faggy BBC
over 25 years ago too
I like the comment on the video
At least ONE PERSON was willing to say what Savile was, and that person was Jerry Sadowitz. Oh, and guess which JS was effectively banned from TV after this?
Google "Head in the sand".
He was an utterly contemptible nonce case through and through, that much is plain. An utterly contemptible nonce case who abuses vulnerable kids is more than cabable of abusing sick and extra vulnerable kids, no?
No, but sexual intercourse with a minor constitutes abuse now, as it did then.An arm lingering around a waist one second too long - is now 'abuse'
What a strange position to take, trying to defend an indefensible nonce case. Why would you want to side with a nonce?
Seems he foked little boys aswell as girls.......
Another alleged victim of Jimmy Savile has claimed he was abused as a nine-year-old cub scout - one of the youngest people believed to have been targeted by the presenter.
Kevin Cook, 45, told The Sun that Savile touched him inappropriately during filming for a Jim'll Fix It TV show in 1976.
Mr Cook claimed that after he was assaulted by Savile, he was warned to keep quiet.
He told the newspaper: "He (Savile) became really scary and said 'Don't you dare tell anyone. Don't even tell your mates. We know where you live' ... Nobody would believe you anyway - I’m King Jimmy'."
Mr Cook, who lives in Essex with his wife and children, added: "For ages I felt like it was my fault. I felt guilty.
"The stuff in the papers brought all the old feelings back. My wife knew something was wrong so in the end I told her."
Mr Cook is one of several alleged male victims of Savile, who died aged 84 last October, to have come forward.
Among them is a man who said he was abused at the age of 10 at the Haut de la Garenne children's home in Jersey.
Another man from Redcar said when he was nine he was fondled by Savile in the star's Rolls-Royce.
One of the hospitals where Savile allegedly abused patients was Broadmoor, where Scotland Yard detectives are due to visit to gather new evidence about the claims.
The Department of Health (DoH) is to investigate how he was appointed in 1988 to lead a "taskforce" overseeing a restructuring of the hospital's management.
Sky's Tom Parmenter, reporting from outside Broadmoor, said: "The big question is just how did Jimmy Savile seem to have the run of the place. He had his own living quarters, and his own keys to certain sections of the hospital."
Meanwhile, Savile's ex-boss said he questioned the DJ over rumours about his private life more than 20 years ago.
Metropolitan Police officers say the claims against the late TV presenter span six decades - between 1959 and 2006 - and they are pursuing 340 lines of enquiry.
So far, 12 allegations of sexual offences have been officially recorded, but the police said there could be 60 victims.
Derek Chinnery, who was BBC Radio 1 controller from 1978 to 1985, admitted he asked Savile directly about his suspected abuse.
Savile worked at the station from 1969 to 1989, presenting a show of chart songs from previous decades.
Mr Chinnery said: "I asked (Savile) 'what's all this, these rumours we hear about you Jimmy?' And he said 'that's all nonsense'. There was no reason to disbelieve (Savile)."
The scandal surrounding the former Top Of The Pops presenter has mushroomed since ITV screened a documentary in which five women alleged they were abused by the celebrity.
Met Police detectives are in contact with 14 other forces as the number of allegations against the former DJ continues to rise.

Whilst I already stated my view of him before all this:
https://teakdoor.com/the-teakdoor-lou...ml#post1920639
...he is still innocent until (officially) proven guilty.
Having said all that, I also suggested that the BBC might one day be brought down by a massive paedophile scandal - maybe it was on another forum.
The BBC moral corruption scandal might make the MP expenses corruption scandal look like a picnic once Auntie's closet door is flung open.

Savile abuse claims: Met Police launch criminal inquiry
More than 200 potential victims of sex abuse by Savile have come forward
Jimmy Savile abuse claims
Scotland Yard has launched a formal criminal investigation into alleged sexual abuse by the late BBC presenter Sir Jimmy Savile and others.
The Metropolitan Police said more than 400 lines of inquiry had been "assessed" and over 200 potential victims have been identified.
Cdr Peter Spindler said a "staggering" number of victims had come forward.
Children's charity the NSPCC said Savile could have been "one of the most prolific sex offenders".
Scotland Yard said the investigation - dubbed Operation Yewtree - moved from an assessment to a criminal investigation after detectives established there are lines of inquiry involving "living people that require formal investigation".
Of the 200 victims, the Met said the "vast majority" were victims of Savile and were abused as children, but that the figure also included victims of alleged abuse "by other individuals".
The force would not say how many living people were under investigation. Savile died on 29 October 2011, at the age of 84.
The police involvement was sparked after ITV broadcast an investigation in Savile's behaviour called Exposure, the Other Side of Jimmy Savile on 3 October, 2012.
In it, several women alleged he sexually abused them when they were under age. Other alleged victims then came forward after the broadcast.
Cdr Spindler said the response from the public had been "astounding".
He added: "We are dealing with alleged abuse on an unprecedented scale. The profile of this operation has empowered a staggering number of victims to come forward to report the sexual exploitation which occurred during their childhood.
"I am pleased that victims feel confident enough to speak out about the abuse they suffered and would like to reassure the public that we take all these cases very seriously and they will be investigated with the utmost sensitivity."
Ten police officers and staff are working on the investigation, but it is thought it may take longer than originally anticipated for their report to be completed.
The Met added that the BBC could begin its internal review into Savile's time at the BBC, which can be run in parallel to the criminal investigation.
The force said they would "develop a protocol", ensuring that "any future potential criminal action is not jeopardised" by the BBC's own inquiries.
The inquiry is one of three BBC probes. It will be lead by former Court of Appeal judge Dame Janet Smith and will investigate the "culture and practices of the BBC" during the years that Savile worked for the corporation.
Dame Janet was appointed on Tuesday by Dame Fiona Reynolds, chairman of the BBC Executive Board, and agreed by the BBC Trust.
In a statement, the BBC said it welcomed the move and would ask Dame Janet "to start her review immediately".
Peter Watt, head of the NSPCC's helpline, said the charity had received more than 136 calls "directly relating to allegations against [Savile]".
"It's important we recognise the brave step victims have taken in coming forward and we urge any other victims to do the same."
Mr Watt added that increasing numbers of people were reporting "unrelated abuse" after hearing victims in the Savile case speak out.
As well as police and BBC investigations, inquiries are taking place into Savile's involvement with Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Broadmoor and Leeds General Infirmary.
Meanwhile, the BBC is to air a special edition of Panorama, looking into the issues surrounding Savile's years of alleged abuse, on BBC One at 20:30 BST on Monday.
Other programmes could be moved if the show runs longer than the half-hour slot currently scheduled.
It just keeps getting worse!!!

ELITE CHILD ABUSE: ‘JIMMY SAVILE… DOORMAN TO THE CESSPIT’ « 21st Century Wire
I'm sure being friends with Thatcher (imagine the cosy little Christmas dinners with those two bastards) had no impact at all on the extent to which people took seriously the allegations against him. None whatsoever. The Daily Hate use this as a stick to beat the BBC, and the NHS and just about every other state institution but I don't suppose they are carrying too many editorials about that evil old bag's choice of friends and the extent to which that friendship made his predatory abuse possible.
The scandal of how Sir Jimmy Savile was able to abuse young girls for decades deepened last night after a Sunday Telegraph investigation implicated former government ministers and executives at the BBC.

The scandal of how Sir Jimmy Savile was able to abuse young girls for decades deepened last night after a Sunday Telegraph investigation implicated both former government ministers and executives at the BBC.
A series of institutional failings gave Savile access to victims and prevented his detection in his lifetime.
The revelations come as pressure intensifies over the current BBC management’s decision to drop a Newsnight investigation into Savile.
The BBC will go to war with itself tomorrow when Panorama, it flagship news programme, threatens to dismantle the corporation’s official reason for doing so.
The Sunday Telegraph understands a series of damaging emails show the BBC had set a transmission date for the Newsnight investigation, which would have exposed Savile in December last year. But in the days beforehand the programme’s editor ordered that more information was required, which according to one Newsnight source effectively killed off the investigation.

Not half:
ffs.But Jimmy Savile’s connections were certainly not confined to the royal family. They fanned out into the realms of politics and the rich and famous across the spectrum of human society. In short, he was not only a paedophile himself, but a supplier of children for some of the most famous paedophiles and Satanists on the planet.
The victims of his abuse that are now speaking out in the wake of the television documentary exposing his secret life are only part of a gigantic cesspit of paedophilia, Satanism, drug-running and murder in which he was involved.
Oh dear!!!!!
LONDON: Abuse allegations involving the late Sir Jimmy Savile have put the spotlight on police forces across Britain and the British Health Department.
It has emerged that Savile was first investigated by police ''for interfering with young girls'' when a nightclub manager in Leeds as long ago as 1958.
Savile's former bodyguard said that the TV host and DJ claimed to have paid officers to drop the case.
Police 'dropped charges' against Savile in 1958
Heads will roll.
^ Doubt it. 54 years ago? Any senior officer involved in dropping the charges will be dead by now.
Alleged sexual predator Jimmy Savile once boasted to a journalist that he could "sort anyone" with a phone call to the IRA.
According to the Sunday People, Savile said: “All I have to do is call my friends in the IRA. They’ll have someone waking up in hospital the next morning eating their breakfast through a f***ing straw.
“I know the IRA, men from the IRA, and you don’t need to ask these guys twice. I’m serious. Don’t f***ing think I’m not serious. I can get them done – just with a phone call. That’s all it takes, young man.”
The newspaper has passed this latest information to the inquiry team investigating the allegations surrounding into Savile.

next people will be telling me he wasn't qualified to perform my prostate examination.
Jimmy Savile was lovely when I met him. I was 10 years old and he fixed it for me to milk a cow blindfolded.
LOL you're a funny bastard, Gerb.

It wasn't me guv, I never knew nothing
Chris Patten personifies everything that is wrong with the BBC elite - TelegraphIt is almost four months since Lord Patten, the chairman of the BBC Trust, called a press conference to praise the “clear vision” of George Entwistle, the broadcaster’s new director-general.
The appointment looked like a mistake even at the time. I noted on this page that Entwistle was a manifestation of exactly the same phenomenon as his wretched predecessor Mark Thompson: “the thrusting, middle-age, white, male, ultimately meaningless media executive”. Such creatures – as became embarrassingly obvious when Entwistle testified before Parliament on Tuesday – are expert at buck-passing, paper-shuffling, corporate jargon, and the art of bland denial. Conversely, they have no charisma, do not understand leadership, are members of a cloistered, self-perpetuating liberal elite, and ultimately cannot tell the difference between right and wrong.
So let’s ignore the emails and the blame game, and turn our attention to the basic human morality of the BBC’s conduct last Christmas. The broadcaster possessed compelling evidence which indicated that Jimmy Savile was a perverted monster, yet it went out and screened two TV shows celebrating his life anyway. To make matters far worse, the corporation – in the shape of Newsnight editor Peter Rippon – suppressed that evidence on the appalling grounds that “our sources so far are just the women and a second-hand briefing”.
Three very senior BBC executives were in charge during this horrifying moment of corporate cynicism: Mark Thompson, then director-general; George Entwistle, “head of vision” and Thompson’s successor; and Helen Boaden, the head of news. We now know that all of them had been alerted to the existence of allegations against Savile. None of them appears to have done anything about them, or even to have shown much interest. All of them stood idly by while the evidence was suppressed. Not one of them lifted a finger to stop the squalid tribute shows.
Some of what they say – such as the claim that Boaden discussed the affair with Entwistle for less than 10 seconds flat – simply doesn’t make sense. But that doesn’t really matter. Either Thompson, Entwistle and Boaden knew all about the Newsnight allegations, in which case it beggars belief that they allowed the tributes to go out, or they were genuinely clueless – which seems much more likely, but would be equally shocking.
Senior BBC executives don’t come cheap. Between them, the Savile Three earned more than £1 million last year – Thompson £620,000, Entwistle £285,000 and Boaden £350,000. They were paid these very large sums to carry out their duties in an exemplary way. Yet from the accounts we have received so far, they just didn’t want to know. This was literally a case of more money than sense.
More distressing still, however, is the conduct of Lord Patten. The chairman of the BBC Trust seems to lack any understanding of what his post entails. The corporation’s charter is very clear that his job is to invigilate BBC executives such as Thompson, Boaden and Entwistle, representing “the public interest, particularly the interest of licence fee payers”. It also insists that the BBC Trust “must maintain its independence of the Executive Board”. Yet Lord Patten seems to have ignored both these statutory duties.
Instead, over the course of the past few weeks, he has become the spokesman for the BBC’s bankrupt managerial culture. Indeed, it is not going too far to say that he has been institutionally captured. This became horribly clear late on Tuesday night, when he issued his sneering reply after Maria Miller, the Culture Secretary, properly expressed what she said were “very real concerns” about “public trust and confidence in the BBC”.
Lord Patten’s reply – “I know that you will not want to give the impression that you are questioning the independence of the BBC” – was beyond belief. Mrs Miller, as Patten ought to have realised, was not seeking to exercise any improper political influence. She was doing no more than carrying out her constitutional duty and articulating the growing national alarm about the BBC’s arrogant, misleading and immoral handling of the issue.
Patten’s menacing response was an error of judgment, and he owes the Culture Secretary an apology. Unfortunately, it fits a broader trend. In truth, Lord Patten has failed to understand why the Savile story is so sickening ever since September, when Newsnight’s decision to suppress the story became public knowledge. I understand that at the time, the Conservative MP Rob Wilson called the BBC chairman to warn him that he would be putting down questions. Mr Wilson was acting in an honourable and courteous way, yet he found that Lord Patten was off-hand and dismissive. A few days later, the chairman was reportedly heard pronouncing at a drinks party that, “it’s probably good for George to have his first crisis early”, presumably meaning that, in one sense, the scandal could even be welcome.
As is now widely recognised, Lord Patten made a dreadful error in appointing George Entwistle in the first place – something that became mortifyingly obvious during the director-general’s poor performance in Parliament on Tuesday. Indeed, the chairman himself can no longer be regarded as fit for purpose.
I say this with regret, because Lord Patten is a civilised man who has enjoyed a distinguished public career. He was a decent Cabinet minister in the Eighties, and an excellent Tory chairman at the 1992 general election. He can look back on his record as our last ever governor of Hong Kong, during which he boldly stood up against China’s Communist government, with real pride. At his peak, he brought something intelligent and distinctive to our public life, and that can be said of relatively few politicians.
But there comes a moment in all careers when men and women become backward-looking and out of touch. That moment has now come to Chris Patten. And it is important that he goes very soon, because he is doing such damage to an institution that stands for everything that is best about Britain – integrity, fairness, and generosity. Above all, the BBC represents a common sphere of British public life which is not part of the marketplace, and yet not controlled by the state. Alongside Parliament, the NHS, the Army, the monarchy and the rule of law, it is one of our great national institutions.
It is deeply unfortunate that, over the past few decades, the corporation has been colonised and captured by a narrow, greedy, self-interested and self-perpetuating liberal elite, ignorant of ordinary people and contemptuous of ordinary morality – hence, in part, the Savile affair. The unprincipled and arrogant conduct of that elite has provided a great deal of ammunition to the broadcaster’s enemies, such as the Murdoch press, and thus placed the BBC’s future in jeopardy.
It is time for those of us who love the BBC, and all it represents to stand up and fight. As chairman of the BBC Trust, it should have been Lord Patten’s task to safeguard the great tradition of integrity and decency which Lord Reith, the original director-general, bequeathed to the nation. Instead, he has become the public apologist for Britain’s sharp-suited, amoral and overpaid media class. For the sake of a great institution, he must step down – now.
