Has anyone ever seen the Louis Theroux documentary with Jimmy Saville ? The man comes across as thoroughly vile, thoroughly despicable, and that is prior to any molestation allegations.

Well the way I see it... dead men can't defend themselves.
This may (or may not) be true.
There was an awful lot of decadence back in the 50s 60s and 70s and I wouldn't be surprised about what was going on backstage at TOTP.
Led Zep, The Stones, The Who, The Beatles (JL especially) and a whole galaxy of stars are equally in the line of fire for backstage, hotel, airplane, underage antics.
So Gary Glitter was seen with an under-aged girl in Jimmies room.. perhaps some people need to read about these other groups.

The most revealing part was when he thought the camera was off and he put the "character" aside. Clearly a nasty person.
Regardless of the allegations about him, his comment about Gary Glitter is enough to makes me dislike him immensely. The quote is......
Now Gary, all he did was to take his computer into PC World to get it repaired.
"They went into the hard drive, saw all these dodgy pictures and told the police and the police then 'Oh we've got a famous person ... Oh my goodness, yeah we'll have them'. But Gary has not sold 'em, has not tried to sell 'em, not tried to show them in public or anything like that. It were for his own gratification. "Whether it was right or wrong is, of course, it's up to him as a person. But they didn't do anything wrong but they are then demonised."
"If you said to that copper, what's Gary Glitter done wrong? Well nothing really. He's just sat at home watching dodgy films."

When did 'dodgy' replace the word 'reprehensible' I wonder...

Tabloids in this country pay large sums of money for stories,watch the floodgates open.Lots of so called victims will be coming out of the wood work.The real target for certain organisations seems to be the BBC,not a man who spent most of his life doing good for folk.

Maybe, just maybe the BBC have gone to great lengths to cover this stuff up in the past as it would look bad for them, employing such a person.

Yeah you hit the nail on the head they are only allegations.Unfortunately some folk in the media have been giving their views which are clearly personal,and based on a dislike of Jimmy Savile.
You don't know that he spent his life molesting children.Was he molesting children when he was a porter in Jimmy's hospital?Was he molesting children whilst doing good for the community?
As regards the Nolan sister I don't recall her saying she was molested by him.
Unfortunately there are some people who believe opinions,grievances over pure fact.The fact of the matter is he raised money for charity,40 million pounds.His charities are still raising money.
I know several women who met him over the years,and he was a pure gent.

I'd like to see proper evidence and due process.
I'm funny like that.
Claims potentially linked to large sums of money do that to me.

This has nothing to do with Mr. Savile in general, who, as a Yank, I wouldn't have any idea who the hell he was except for my boots DVDs with the NME appearances. But, in my years of being around radio, music, TV and film personalities, disc jockeys were always the sleaziest of the sleaziest. Don't know why. No theories. Would love to entertain some. I'm shuddering now thinking of some of the absolute creeps that were spinnin' wax back in the day.

Could be because they are well known, act like big stars, pull a lot of attitude like they themselves are so great.... and yet they have absolutely no talent whatever. They are just glorified cheerleaders, consigned to a life of pushing the product of those who do have talent. Somewhere within themselves they must know this and hate themselves for it.
