To find yourself in that wonderland position recieving some much adulation being on TV all the time, around all these young people - does funny things to people...especially back in the 60's and 70's!

Might have missed it but can't remember him ever having political leanings one way or the other

The TV documentary seems to be concentrating on his alleged abuse of under age girls.

I do not expect it will even mention Haut de la Garenne and boys.

Well I'll be disappointed if such turns out to be true, for once I'd love the authorities to find that someone accused in this way, actually was the way he always seemed to be, strange but generous.

I actually think there's somebody who has seen an opportunity to make a quick buck myself

I don't think It's true, agree with JaySay.

Unrelated, but I was lucky enough to meet Jimmy a couple of times. He was at my Grandfather's funeral. Found him lovely to be around.

I do not know if its true or not, would hope it aint. What i can't quite grasp is in the last 20 yrs or so we have become a Lets make a claim society, Yet they aint coming outa the woodwork until now?? very odd to me.

But if that was true, why wait till he's dead? Surely they had more chance of getting something if he was still alive because they could get him to court. Can they bring a case against someone who is dead?

Believe me they will be getting plenty of financial rewords, tabloid newspapers and even ITV are not backward at coming forward when it comes to paying for these stories, so where money is concerned why let the truth get in the way of a good paper selling or viewer rating story

I knew of similar allegations 40 years ago. A friend of mine (Barrister and later Crown Court Recorder) lived in the same block of flats in Manchester as Jimmy Savile, and commented on the number of very young girls who visited Savile's flat. There is a similar allegation in a letter in today's Mail by someone who had seen Savile fondling young girls in a cafe in Manchester. He remarked on it to a waiter who said "Oh, is he at it again?".
