Someone in power at the BBC should have dealt with it one way or another if the rumours were flying around back then

In tomorrow's documentary two BBC producers/assistant producers admit that they knew it was going on, one of them kept quiet because they didn't want to lose their job and the other who actually witnessed Savile abusing a girl in his dressing room kept quiet because she thought no one would believe her.

I remember him denying ever being at that children's home in Jersey yet he was photographed there with a group of children years earlier. A newspaper was prevented from publishing the photo after he took out an order against them doing so. Ted Heath was also involved with that home and took young boys out for the weekends on his yacht.

I'm not sure if Coleen Nolan appears in the documentary but she was less than complimentary about Savile a few years back

I think the point is that a lot of people knew what was going on and did nothing about it. Those people are still alive and should be made to answer to their failure to protect children.

PQ, you are so right. The people that stood by and are now happily chirping up for the cameras need to go to prison

If this is true, this man has groomed a whole country. Jim'll fix it was mass grooming of children. Give them what they most desire in front of the whole nation. Who can possibly say a word against such a nice man? Oh how very clever he was. He invited himself into our homes every weekend and we all sat around with our parents watching, enthralled and admiring. I for one wrote a letter to him, who didn't? Thank god my mum never sent it.

That is classic pedophile behaviour. Make friends with the parents to get to the children.

Disgusting. How did people miss it with clips like that with the Nolans he was almost groping her, dirty old man. Those who knew and did nothing should be prosecuted, how can they sleep at night?
