Steve Coogan to play Jimmy Savile in BBC drama

[rkangel]

To be fair i always thought of Matthew kelly as creepy

An excellent actor and a very nice bloke too.

Indeed. Who would have thought Robin Williams would be able to play such a creepy character as the one in One Hour Photo?

Fantastic film. Heavily underrated.

The BBC making a program about Jimmy Saville? Wow. Wonder how that will turn out given they were complicit in all his crimes against others.

Not for me, his name, or his face should never see the light of day

I have a lot of respect for you Erimus and Muttley in the post before yours, but these awful things need to be put in the spotlight for all to see, because the majority will see the wrong and need to.. As for the drama, which should be important, I imagine Coogan will be brilliant. a difficult watch, I expect, and even hope it is, but watching is better than turning a blind eye, however tough.

Likes of Saville and Glitter were literally hiding in plain sight. Look at the way the two of them behave here around those young girls; Glitter saying, "I get two?". How did people not click on.

And didn't they ban John Lydon because he spoke out about Saville way back in the day?

Yes they did, there's an interview he did on YouTube condemning the BBC and Saville

You're right! Think I need to revisit the interview.

Posted above mate, the one thing that pricked my ears up about that interview is when Johnny says "he wasn't the only one" why didn't Morgan ask him who else? Strange that.
