My great Aunt who was mentally ill her whole life, was kept in institutions from around the 60s/70s to her death in the 2000s. In the 80s/90s family members would say to her that Saville was visiting hospitals in the area and she would get a “haunted” look on her face and say “you don’t go near that man. He’s a very bad man. Don’t go near him”. Gives you a lot to think about. I don’t know if she was a victim but her reaction to him was clear that she knew he was repulsive.
I’m also sure from what I’ve read he was also pretty much “given the keys” to certain wards at Stoke Mandeville hospital where some inpatients were admitted because of catastrophic spinal injuries… This POS openly raised funds for this particular set of patients.
@@lucieni Wow. Unbelievable the crap this jerk pulled. Also, didn't he have access to Duncroft? A school for disturbed girls?? Who is giving him the keys to these institutions? Terrible!
@@susanmurphy2164 Absolutely I agree with that. The thing is females are vulnerable because we are physically “The weaker sex”. I unfortunately can attest to that having been physically assaulted by a ‘random man’ on my way home from work one night in 2014. He got a life sentence (12.5 yrs minimum) and on licence for life (John Guscott, Kent) for an appalling series of prolific attacks on women and girls in the north Kent area.
He was inexplicably wealthy for just a DJ and TV and radio personality. Other so called celebrities have commented on this and it has been suggested that he procured young girls for the rich and famous. He then made sure that he had evidence of their encounters and could use this against them if he needed to. He hinted at this in the Louis Theroux documentary when he said that if he went down he would take a lot of people with him.
@@karenpearson8916 They had no idea of the hell he was responsible for.. I’d like to think that was the case but my cynical mind tells me most people just blocked the shite and went with the narrative. May he rest in fire sodden hell for ever more.
Very informative video. I find it ironic that John Lydon was the complete opposite of Savile, not just in his personality, but also the way he was perceived by the public. He was seen as no good and a trouble maker because of his shocking demeanor, but really, he was just brutally honest; whereas Savile was accepted by so many, because he was brutally fake and people fell for his facade.
As kid growing up in the 70's I'd see Saville on the TV, in the newspapers and magazines all the time, it's hard to emphasise what a massive celebrity he was. I knew there was something very, very wrong about him though - I just didn't know what it was. Eventually I'd change the TV channel if he appeared because the very sight of him revolted me. How he managed to breeze through life untouched is beyond me, there's no way that he didn't have help from other powerful people.
look at epstein, all those hugely powerful people on his jet dozens of times, they were hardly going because they enjoyed flying and the media says nothing
Thank you. I also grew up in 70s and 80s and never like this weird, passive aggressive man at all. He came across as very cruel in a sneaky way towards women and children especially and now we, the public are seeing why.
I agree 100% I just finished watching the Netflix documentary anyone with basic discernment could tell that something was very wrong about this man. The look in his eyes made my skin crawl.
I remember my grandma telling me years ago Jimmy Saville opened a local funday, they thought he would stay an hour then be off. He actually stayed all day in fact when it was all over he was still there hanging around, they couldn't get rid off him.... she thought he was very creepy and odd.
I often wondered if there was an inappropriate relationship with his mother. He referred to her as ‘The Duchess’. He kept her clothing and had the lot dry cleaned annually after her death, in addition to spreading various outfits she had around the home.
This analysis is personally interesting to me, because I had an uncle who, when he died, we found out that he had abused several children in the family, including his own children. We do not know if there is anyone else who suffered abuses from him. His personality was exactly the same as Saville’s. Quirky, and (it makes me sick to say this) very funny, kind and charismatic. We loved him so much, we were so shocked when we found out. Also as Saville dressed in costumes, and always surprised us with his "performances", I don't know how else to express it. How horrible, everyone loved him very much. He was also highly respected and loved in his profession, being the preferred pilot for the king of Spain (at the time) for his trips. His mother died young, but she had been very castrating and controlling. He was the same type of abuser as Saville, no doubt. He used the same strategy. Also, thank you for not joking in this one. ;)
@@janed7774 How rude. Sorry to bore you. Watching the video made me remember all, and felt the need to spill it all out. Traumatic experiences are like this some times.
@@janed7774 Telling somebody speaking about this kind of things that is boring and like a soap opera is quite rude. If that was not what you ment, I apologize.
I had the opportunity to see Saville and Harris at close quarter and the thing that struck me most was that they both had this "look" in their eyes. Cold, uncaring, manipulative while all the time smiling and being apparently genuine and polite etc. That cold faraway look will stay with me forever!! Always look at the eyes!!
I agree. I mentioned this to my Police Psychology professor. There are humans & hunters of humans. The hunters have 'shark-eyes' if you will; cold, unfeeling, & blank.
True.....the look that says...I'm getting away with this...and you can't do anything about it...a troubling sort of masonic alliance...able to implement a vile agenda in full view of the decent majority....and when these individuals reach positions of influence...there is no stopping their activities
Would love an entire episode about Saville’s involvement/access to Broadmoor Hospital. I know you worked there much later than Saville, but would still be great to hear your perspective.
My friends and myself were in a Manchester children's home 1960s .So looking at Savile from the 70s it was clear to me and everyone in general. Everyone just knew we always knew about them people but we had never been given words as kid .We knew without saying and we just hoped all other kid were on the radar .That because kids had no phones but we had some kind of link anyhow .Also he was more of my mother's generation and she knew he was a wrong un.It got more noticed in the 1980s when he started to rub shoulders with certain people .My mother always said he was up to no good and never had been .No one spoke about him because he would land them in hot water through the courts. He made that very clear don't ever mess with him .Was he as bad as painted I don't know perhaps he was .These people hide in plain sight .
It's horrible how he got away with this for so long, it's scary how he can basically admit it by saying "I'm feared in every girls school in this country" and still get away with it
What really upset me was that one of the main victims ''Blamed herself''.... But as a child, what could she have done? Children , especially in that era ''Respected'' adults much more, and were disempowered. Savile was detested by my Mum who found him ''distasteful'' in the 1970's.
It's really common for child victims of any form of abuse to blame themselves, when the truth is that they were not the ones with the control, nor the maturity or experience to know the difference. It always makes me sad to see child victims blame themselves.
@@frostedsilver Very true-the abusers also try and guilt trip their victims and threaten them into ''not telling''..especially in that era when abuse and paedophilia wasn't spoken about as much.
In my experience I had little boundaries, not a lot of confidence and didn’t know how to say - no I don’t want this. Or to prioritise taking care of myself over the boyfriend I had at the time. It was always in the mens favour. And this lack of awareness was exactly at the worst time, throughout my early teens to my mid thirties. Mistaking passion and drama for love. Perhaps seeing healthy love growing up prevents this, I don’t know. It’s just a huge shame that many young women struggle to know how to be safe. It has to be a priority to teach girls to speak up and protect themselves.
Thank you for your time & very informative analysis. I'm a retired RMN (trained in 1979) who worked in psychiatric hospitals for 30 years including a spell at Ashworth Hospital. I would likely have assesed him to be a communal narcissist or cluster B personality . I feel that your diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder fits too. None of the diagnostic tools we have are perfect, but im glad I came to a very similar conclusion to you.
The culture and the times completely helped him get away with his crimes. I grew up in the 60s and 70s and there was a strange authoritarian patriarchal style that was acceptable. In other words an older man or a priest or a father or grandfather could act flirty and strange toward younger women or children and everybody would sort of laugh it off this was part of that era. When you talk about Weinstein and all these other people this is much more further forward into the me too movement about 40 years.
I've no idea why the rest of the country didn't pick this up. My family referred to him as "The Nonce" since the 1980s. This man was protected throughout his life by men who, for their own reasons, knew didn't want him exposed.
I just came across this after watching the Netflix doc. You say he didn't have any involvement in other types of crime but there were rumours about beatings of people some of which he admitted in the newspapers without admitting anything specific which he was pretty good at.
Pat Brown a criminal profiler also did her take on Savile, she is on RUclips as well. She thinks that in many cases there isn't any concrete proof for some of his crimes. That is her take.
I've noticed that predators will groom a whole community, and it's not unusual for their behaviour to be dismissed as "oh, that's just so-and-so,..." That's something we can all watch out for. If people dismiss creepy behaviour as "oh, that's just them". Red flag. It doesn't always mean somebody is up to something bad, but it IS something to watch out for.
Did he groom Louis Theroux ? I'm not so sure . Theroux's approach is very much low key and ordinary, allowing his guests to paint their own canvas . Sure, he didn't uncover his 'activities' but I recall watching the documentary at the time and just took a dislike to Savile . So Theroux at least highlighted Savile as an unpleasant individual.
@@johnburrows3385 Good points, though I would certainly credit Theroux with uncovering Savile's activities at least little bit (without being able to fully call him out) as he brought up the rumour of Savile being a paedophile. It was the first I'd heard about it and unforgettable.
He definitely was a leech. One of the nhs reports has testimony from a witness who observed that he never paid for anything. In the louis theroux doc they eat at a chip shop where he boasts that he gets the food for free because there's a picture of him in the shop window Read In Plain Sight by Dan Davies - it's a comprehensive insight into his life, crimes and personality
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Not in a position to be able to diagnose, but I'd speculate he was on the dark tetrad, sub clinical elements of narcissism, psychopathy, machiavellianism and sadism.
It's a misconception that he was hiding in plain sight. A LOT of people knew what he was. The reason he was never taken down was because of what he knew about those in the upper echelons of society. Politicians and royalty were all involved and still are. If savile was put on the perch he would have sung like a canary and a lot of high profile people would be sank with him. That's why he was afforded protection.
I am so excited to have found you! I am here and have subscribed to your channel after watching your chat with Mr. Black from Disturbing Truth. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from and hearing what you had to say on that video!!! So, here I am ready to binge on all of your content!!! ♥️ from Texas, USA!
one of most disturbing men in British history how this man was aloud to rise to the top is shocking a stain on all of Britain particularly the BBC and the establishment and royal family they covered up for him.
The Netflix show, “A British Horror Story” is worth watching. However, the second part of the documentary, which deals largely with his crimes, is heavily sanitized. He was much, much worse than the Netflix portrayal.
I saw this a couple of days ago. Have to say, I thought it was a bit dull. 3/4 of it focused on his background and only really talked about the abuse at the very end.
Joseph Gerrain: l agree the Netflix documentary somehow side-stepped Alot of the issues about Jimmy Savile / as though the establishment & the Beeb know they have to admit his wrongdoings, but don't want to press the point or go into too much detail.
@@APsychForSoreMinds There was one story in there that made me question the integrity of the story by its sheer audacity - I don't doubt his crmes, but this story: this woman claimed Saviie had his fingers in her mouth and the other fingers up her p****, in church, in front of a whole bunch of people, in the middle of the day when she was in her early teens - this made NO sense to me, and I think she was making it up
I think the Netflix documentary served as: 1) an introduction to JS for Americans, as most of us have no idea who he was, and 2) a simple recap of the things they had at least some evidence for, based on the particular witnesses and investigators they talked to. TBH I was left mind blown and confused by it until I started looking at other documentaries and understanding that he had dirt on other people and probably procured children for them.
I think it's malignant narcissism, caused by his mother. Far too good to be true, and a lot of times these types cause suspicions, but people are afraid to say anything.
Stay Euthymic! That's a good one. And original. Perfect for your area of expertise. New subscriber. It's your third video that I've watched. But subscribed on the first one. True that levity would not have been appropriate in this video but I look forward to hearing your sense of humor as well as more of your learned opinions.
“His mother didn’t work ...” With seven children, a husband, and a household she never stopped working! She was an unsalaried worker, without a union, a set wage, or probably annual leave.
Hey Doc...WONDERFUL to see you with your own channel,you just popped up on my feed!....fascinating stuff!...love your vibe and analysis of madness!🇦🇺😎🇦🇺
I find it weird that anyone found him charming. I have never seen him behave in an appealing way. Totally creepy and sleezy. The type of jokes ... ugh. Yes the culture has changed but still his type of persona so gross.
One thing i found shocking in the doc is that he "didnt live in the image of god" but "made his view of god in the image of himself". Does that mean he consciously or subconsiously sees himself as god? Crazy..
There are members of the establishment still around today, that should be held accountable for the access that he was given to vulnerable people. Broadmoor for example, just blows my mind. The MP Edwina Curry, was responsible for placing him there, and not knowing that he was a serial sex offender, is no excuse for doing something so utterly irresponsible. There will be people in the BBC, the police and in health management that should not be allowed to just plead ignorance.
Just listened to his Radio 4 interview "in the psychiatrist's chair" along with many red flags he says he has no emotions, how on earth did he never face punishment? Fascinating guy.
What I find ultimately frightening is the fact that many, many people knew what he was doing yet allowed it to continue. It's like looking at WWll photos of German military staff, both male and female, standing laughing and smiling as if it were a summer's day and they had nothing but fun and games all day before going home to play with their kids - after slaughtering and mutilating thousands.
Very interesting. Really enjoy your content. Just wanted to offer a suggestion (and say this with love) - all moms work. I know what you meant but maybe say ‘his mom didn’t work outside the home’? Might seem like a small thing but it’s kind of important. 😉
Hi, this is the first time watching your channel. Really good. I am a first year Forensic Psych. student in Australia. Looking a Jimmy Saville through the lens of the DSM-5 it seems to me he meets the criteria for psychopath, the fact that he was able to avoid certain scrutiny, ( via friends in high places), and that his financial situations were as they were, (i.e. very rich) enables him to be excluded from certain criteria in the DSM-5, but overall he meets the minimum requirements for pyscopathy... You thoughts? if any... Cheers Simp70
I’d love to hear your views on Anthony Ferrira, a particularly vicious individual that after serving 20 years in prison for one of the most violent and despicable attacks on a woman in Brixton circa 1992 and was paroled via the DSPD unit at the trust I worked for at that time. I’m from south east London and remember this case well when it happened as it was just so horrific…. Horrific doesn’t even cover it. Merlyn Nuttall (The lady involved) published a book “It could have been you”. Excellent read but just so disturbing.
On one of the documentaries, one of Savile's nephews said and his friends ran away to London and ended up at Kings Cross. There they were 'befriended' by some men who took them back to their flat. He obviously never mentioned his famous uncle. A few days later, who should turn up but 'uncle Jimmy'. The nephew was confused to see him there and it seemed Savile was a bit surprised. Savile then took the boys in and invited them to 'parties' where they talked to a lot of children, and priests were bringing in young people for the men in the bedrooms.
I saw that, and it seriously freaked me out, the nephew thought, if Jimmy had not turned up, he wouldn't have escaped....and fears the fate of other kids there. How screwed up is that????
Hey I think your channel is great and spot on 👍I think people should talk more about why Jimmy Saville situation was covered up 🤷♂️ so many people knew but? Said nothing .. why? To save there own career. I left the Royal Navy with severe mental health issues and the things I have been through , witnessed and experienced is crazy! It is so sad the people above and in power pick in the most vulnerable people in life. Anyway Dr your channel is so important way way more than you think or believe.
In the documentary the dialogue between Jimmy and his mother where they 'discussed' him being unexpected (as many children were back then).I felt this was quite telling and had a little part to play .... perhaps it didn't suit his narcissistic mindset. On a side note ... as you were discussing Jimmy's mother you mentioned she didn't 'work'. I'm sure you meant well but this is quite demeaning to women who stay at home to mind their children. Jimmy's mother had 7 children and I'm sure she worked harder than many women ... she just never got paid.
It should say something like " ...she didn't go out to work..." Neither do I, but I have three children, we homeschool, I cook from scratch, I make all the appointments for my family, and drive them to them, take care of everyone when they're poorly, clean the house, sew for extra money, and all that jazz; if I did those things for the public it would be considered working, and I'd get a lot of money ❤️😄❤️
Yes, I thought so too: Should have been "She didn't work outside the home." This may not seem the most important part of the video, but it is actually part of the culture that devalues women to say "She didn't work."
On your side note, I'm sure no ill will was meant by the comment, only a reality then of the times. Even today unless you are a high earner, if you have 3 or more children it doesn't pay to go to work. I remember well when my mother got her 1st washing machine a twin tub, imagine today not having a dishwasher? My mother contributed inside the home. Later when I became a single parent also with 3 boys, I know what is meant by a woman's (in my case man's) work is never done.
That documentary was chilling and made me feel so uncomfortable having grown up with Savile as the cheeky TV personality but knowing something was off. Totally agree with the creation of a caricature to hide in plain sight because he was so so blatant. Plus Broadmoor keys! Wtf?! I couldn't believe he had access. So many ppl in power complicit in this national gaslighting
Great commentary as usual, I will never understand how he got the keys to Broadmoor,but hiding in plain sight certainly sums him up. He must've had some serious dirt on people in high places.👍
I really don't know what goes through the minds of people like savile, but I can tell you now I'm certain that there was one thought that flashed though his mind at one point or another. "I can't believe they havent stopped me. I can't believe that I'm getting away with this"
I can't agree, sorry. He came across as one of the most arrogant people I've seen, and I think he KNEW that he had the backing of many other paedophiles in positions of power - politicians, royalty, police etc. He knew no-one could touch him.
I live in St Albans , Herts . UK . My next door neighbour has exactly the same mindset as Savile. However he is into harassing people non-stop..... by any means necessary .
My mum was in hospital in Leeds in the 80s for a broken when Jimmy Saville was doing his rounds. He always gave her the creeps, but looking back on things she didnt think he was alone in what he was doing, as when she was leaving the hospital a porter came up to her & made crass comments about being the one to cut her knickers off in A&E. He didnt, so she always found it a vile thing to say. Apparently a lot of the nurses though of him(Jimmy) as a pest & as constantly being in the way. Im so glad you collaborated on Spideys channel & I got to check out yours!
I met Savile who was staying in the same hotel in Fort William while on my honeymoon. Apparently he was an honourary member of a Scottish clan. He struck me as being very arrogant and there was just something about him that gave me and my wife chills. I wasn't surprised when his true character was revealed after his death, and like many others, couldn't understand why he hadn't been caught while he was alive.
Dr. Das, the standards of the time do not turn lewd behavior to superficial charm. The observers or victims might not have spoken but it doesn’t mean they mistook one for the other.
The parallels with Brand are terrifying - now we know Brand hasn't been charged as of this writing BUT the fact he's been enabled by the BBC and other media companies surely speaks volumes. Esp. could he have been stopped and what protections are in place to stop that happening again.
I believe things are changing but I can't help but be a bit pessimistic and think that there will always be people abusing their power. At least certain people are being held accountable now though.
It's the human way. Give any group of people a certain amount of power and they will abuse it, happened all throughout history and is even happening now. It's almost as if power currupts people or something.....
This is very interesting, thanks. Could you do a psychoanalysis of Boris Johnson? When I worked in a prison healthcare team we had training on personality disorders. The trainers consistently used Johnson as a great example of anti social personality disorder.
Your page is super intriguing. I hope I can keep watching over time. I'm trying to get through this one video, but I admit it's crazy triggering. Deep breaths.
I really enjoyed this especially your description of using his wackiness clothes hair ect as almost a reflection of his real weirdness. To add when he talks on an interview about how he thinks of himself as not clever but tricky he said so many things almost admitting how manipulative he was
You asked our views on the changes that might, or might not, have taken place during/since the 70's and 80's. I am born in the mid 60's and grew up in Denmark. Perhaps some of you know, that child pornography was legal in Denmark for 11 years and during the 70's. Denmark and Holland were the world's largest producers and distributers of child-pornography. I remember the sexualisation that took place at the time. Most of my generation will remember our fathers buying a pornographic magazine called "Rapport", they did little to hide it. And especially the men talked about it a lot. TV also started to show porn-movies late at night. Free love, free sex. No bras and topless sunbathing on the beach. Nakedness was stuffed down our troths. Today I am a sexologist and healer. Actually, a great combination. I have met so many people who had their boundaries exceeded and suffered sexual abuse at the time. And the most amazing element is, that a lot of them, have never talked about it or done anything about it, simply because they thought that it was ok. Perhaps not normal but something that had to be endured. Therefore, I am not surprised that a predator like Savile could get away with what he did and be so open about it.
I just finished watching the Netflix documentary and the Ch 5 documentary, and your analysis is well done. His nephew - not the one brought up on charges - is briefly interviewed in the Ch 5 documentary, and from his story, it sounds like Savile ran in circles with very powerful and high profile people who were part of a ring that abused very young children. So, this could explain why Savile was able to get "keys" and connections, and was so arrogant, etc. - he was protected because he knew too much? In the Ch 5 documentary, they actually show him sexually abusing a young girl on TV while presenting. It is chilling as he does it - the camera person realizes what is happening and starts zooming in on him so as to exclude the girl squirming from the shot. Also, I wonder about his relationship with his mother as a child - sexual or sadistically physically abused by her? He talks about spending 5 days alone with her body after she died. There are no words.
When he said in the Louis interview that if people kept saying things he'd take them all down, but then after he died, there wasn't any evidence of anything about anyone else, you know how high the power goes, they got rid of it all, and threw him under the bus to throw the blame off themselves.
I doubt that, I think he saw all his charity work as a smokescreen, I dont think he thought he had to atone for the abuse. I think he didnt care one bit about the suffering and pain he caused.
I happened upon your channel this evening, watched this and have bow subscribed. Yesterday, I watched the Netflix documentaries about Savile and what now disturbs me the most is that the Netflix programmes led me to conclude that, over the course of life, Jimmy Savile did more good than harm.
Great insights there-thank you. Another fascinating insight about Savile came from an interview he did years ago with an Irish celebrity psychiatrist Dr. Anthony Clare. In the interview he mentioned on two occasions that he always kept his car serviced and kept it in tip top condition. Dr. Clare in his brilliant analysis said that this referred to Saviles anxiety about having a proper functioning car in the event of a quick getaway if ever uncovered. Just goes to show as Freud mentioned that there’s no such thing as a mental or verbal accident.
Do not underestimate how Savile intimidated people. His combination of high intelligence, physical presence and connections were all tools to frighten those around .
Would love to more about his family and how the dynamics may have played a role in his personality. I recently watched the Netflix doc on his crimes and I seem to recall he was the youngest of seven children. Are there any living relatives and have they spoken out?
I was sent here by Spidey and don't regret it. I'm absolutely loving this channel. The only thing I find distracting is how it looks like he reaches for the phone/camera after each sentence. This is the first of his videos I've watched so maybe it's an anomaly. Love the content though.
We don't really have any information about his childhood behaviour other than his own accounts -- who knows what he might have done that hasn't been revealed?
A recent documentary revealed Jimmy Savile had a serious head/ brain injury as a very young child and was not expected to survive, I wonder whether this influenced his psyche and what he became. Reportedly Fred West's personality also changed and became aggressive after a head injury as a young man.
Brilliant! This is really interesting thanks. I am a CPN in an EIP team. Forensic issues and risk are always a real learning point. Fascinating analysis; really well presented.
The culture in the 70s was such that low level abuse was not really even seen as abuse - look at the Carry On films - Sid James character in most of those was basically a sex pest, or an aspiring one at least, but he and the films were also a national institution, and dearly beloved by the public.
Good episode Dr Das. What a hideous person. I prefer this type of more substantial assessment rather than the jokey episodes - just my personal preferance! Thanks for covering this case.
WOW..I could listen to you Dr... all day long..beats housework😅....very knowledgeable and easy to listen to..im 65 and have had an interest in true crimes since a team..knew about blow flies from my 80's crime mags..😮.. ty for your content
I think you are attributing a lot of getaway skill to him when it’s really the enablers that did it. They are the real criminals. They knew he was a monster and they made him, then released him upon society deliberately. Blaming him for everything is inaccurate. Many people conspired to shuttle him along
I agree with you. For example, why did the BBC decide to not to air the Newsnight report into Saville's activities? People who have worked for the BBC have stated that any attempt to draw attention to Saville and his behaviour was immediately squashed by the upper management of the corporation, and there seems to me to be ample evidence to suggest that senior people within the BBC knew about Saville, and chose not to do anything about it.
@@raymondmancillas9120 I think you're absolutely right, sad to say it. People have spoken out about the so-called "culture" of the BBC, and it seems to be riddled with perverts.
I can’t believe you don’t have him down as a psychopath. He definitely leeched off others and known not to pay for things not that that’s the key issue. Against the psychopath checklist as you reeled off,he must come out as not just psychopathic but about as pure as they get surely. We also don’t know enough about his early life to say he wasn’t deviant then. Interesting account but don’t entirely agree.
I agree. Having s....x with the amount of unwilling people that he did....including dead bodies. If that doesn't make you a psychopath then nothing does.
Interesting professional viewpoint on that horrific man, it's jaw droppingly shocking that Saville got keys to a mental hospital and had access to the highest echelons of power and even behaved inappriopriately in public. I grew up with him on TV and used to watch him, my Secondary school even had the headmaster talk about Saville as an inspiration for assembly one morning, I had no idea of his vile behaviour until the allegations came out after his death. It's so important that lessons are learnt and something like this should never happen again.
Makes me question the person who gave the keys to Broadmoor over to him had to be one of his cronies. People like this rarely act alone, they know each other and the money he accrued along with Knighthood and visiting the Palace (hasn't he said Charles was one of his best friends?) and all sorts of high official people make me wonder who all were in the know concerning him and probably in cahoots. He said he "worked deep undercover" and knew everyone in positions of power, he just wasn't charming enough in his little track suits and fried hair to charm the people in power.
I know of someone who runs a film festival in London who abuses women. I reported him to Scotland Yard and other authorities. Neither has he paid his female employees for over 3 years. It's unbelievable how people accept such abuse. I did my part and reported him. This is the only way it will stop.
Thanks for your very informative video. It’s interesting that the political journalist, Andrew Neil, who I’m sure knew the rumours about Savile’s aberrant behaviours, tried to challenge him in a televised interview. Savile used his trademark vulgarity and ‘Odd’ behaviour to distract Neil, even going as far to using a banana in a crude way. However, Savile did slip up at one point when he stated that he preferred girls, because women know to much. Unfortunately, nothing came of it and he went on to abuse many other vulnerable people.
@@HuHWhat-yi8cp Yes, that’s the one…it was so gross. Andrew Neil knew exactly what Savile was up to but his hands were tied because Savile had the audience eating out of his hand during that interview.
Back in the day I always found him 'strange' and it is frightening how much he was accepted. \My Mum met him and spent a few hours in his company and found him charming, all an act as we know now. Sadly attitudes were very different to young girls as 'groupies' back in the day, thank goodness this has taught us all a lesson.
Thank you Dr. Das, for another valuable video explaining problem behaviors in Jimmy S. character. I thought he behaved like a chameleon. (great salesman-of himself / excellent reader of people , top level predator as well as a very bright/sharp man) He appeared to me to overwhelm people with his unpredictable gestures , fast talking , wit, clothes , hair etc... (like you explained distractions, as a shock factor or keeping them off balance) ( I had never heard of this guy before i watched a documentary on him today before I watched your video. Just for some background on the guy) I reckon he had a huge ego. iI takes a lot of stimulation / work to feed that monster. He was charismatic and charming a dangerous combo in a person who wants to be deceptive. I noticed that he would make this offhand asides about women and people just blew it off. I really think they thought it was part of his stick. (his performance) His ability to move people was mesmerizing. It is hard to see such evil when all around him it appears he is only helping others. He did a huge amount of good for the forgotten ones in society such as the people with spinel injuries of Great Britain. No matter what he did in his personal life what he did for the organizations he got behind was outstanding. He did do some extremely kind things for others even if it was for selfish reasons. ( you would have never known it and who cares) He created one in.a lifetime moments that really mattered to people. Jim'll fix it was incredibly kind show. What was he??? To answer your question has things changed toward the treatment of women. I do think the facade of a change in mens (and women's) behavior toward women over time has changed , but men have not changed. ( I don't want men to change what is wrong with men)? You will always have bad apples in both sexes. . I know that when only men are around you tell dirty jokes and sing dirty songs about women (all in jest and for fun not hate) poking fun at each other about women. Some folks just can't take a joke.
He says that he learned standing out gives him power because he used to wrap his work clothes in newpaper when down the mines so when he came up from the pit he was immaculately dressed and it freaked people out.
My great Aunt who was mentally ill her whole life, was kept in institutions from around the 60s/70s to her death in the 2000s. In the 80s/90s family members would say to her that Saville was visiting hospitals in the area and she would get a “haunted” look on her face and say “you don’t go near that man. He’s a very bad man. Don’t go near him”. Gives you a lot to think about. I don’t know if she was a victim but her reaction to him was clear that she knew he was repulsive.
That's so horrifying and heartbreaking how many vulnerable people where exposed to this evil individual.
That makes me sad 😢
Goodness me..how sad for Aunt and your family 😢
If she was not abused. I think she intuitively knew.
The fact that Savile had his own keys to Broadmoor Hospital staggers the mind. How awful for the residents.
I’m also sure from what I’ve read he was also pretty much “given the keys” to certain wards at Stoke Mandeville hospital where some inpatients were admitted because of catastrophic spinal injuries… This POS openly raised funds for this particular set of patients.
@@lucieni Wow. Unbelievable the crap this jerk pulled.
Also, didn't he have access to Duncroft? A school for disturbed girls?? Who is giving him the keys to these institutions? Terrible!
@@susanmurphy2164 Yep he was given free access to pupils at a school (Duncroft) for vulnerable girls.
@@lucieni I feel so bad for those girls. My heart breaks for them.
@@susanmurphy2164 Absolutely I agree with that. The thing is females are vulnerable because we are physically “The weaker sex”. I unfortunately can attest to that having been physically assaulted by a ‘random man’ on my way home from work one night in 2014. He got a life sentence (12.5 yrs minimum) and on licence for life (John Guscott, Kent) for an appalling series of prolific attacks on women and girls in the north Kent area.
He was inexplicably wealthy for just a DJ and TV and radio personality. Other so called celebrities have commented on this and it has been suggested that he procured young girls for the rich and famous. He then made sure that he had evidence of their encounters and could use this against them if he needed to. He hinted at this in the Louis Theroux documentary when he said that if he went down he would take a lot of people with him.
Interesting... Jeff Epstein copied Saville...
He was a pimp for royalty, the tory government and the rich and famous.
Truly a psychopath
@Gordon Boyland
Because the public largely couldn’t fathom the depths of his twisted depravity
epstein same story. there is more proof about this child molesting in powerful circles then people want to admit
As a Leeds girl myself, he's a repulsive embarrassment to this city. That being said, Thank you for covering this case.
I was shocked at how many people in Leeds turned out for his funeral and paid respect to him
@@karenpearson8916 They had no idea of the hell he was responsible for.. I’d like to think that was the case but my cynical mind tells me most people just blocked the shite and went with the narrative. May he rest in fire sodden hell for ever more.

Very informative video. I find it ironic that John Lydon was the complete opposite of Savile, not just in his personality, but also the way he was perceived by the public. He was seen as no good and a trouble maker because of his shocking demeanor, but really, he was just brutally honest; whereas Savile was accepted by so many, because he was brutally fake and people fell for his facade.
Very well explained!
Good point!
Lyndon is a crass, disgusting human…
A person who hid his real nature behind a cultured veneer,
Yes. People never seem to learn the "Too good to be true" theory.
As kid growing up in the 70's I'd see Saville on the TV, in the newspapers and magazines all the time, it's hard to emphasise what a massive celebrity he was. I knew there was something very, very wrong about him though - I just didn't know what it was. Eventually I'd change the TV channel if he appeared because the very sight of him revolted me. How he managed to breeze through life untouched is beyond me, there's no way that he didn't have help from other powerful people.
look at epstein, all those hugely powerful people on his jet dozens of times, they were hardly going because they enjoyed flying and the media says nothing
Thank you. I also grew up in 70s and 80s and never like this weird, passive aggressive man at all. He came across as very cruel in a sneaky way towards women and children especially and now we, the public are seeing why.
Thanks for expressing your thoughts as I also felt exactly the same at the time.
Flesh creeping sensation.
Yep, I thought he was weird and creepy, but my Auntie liked to remind us , Ohh, he does so much for charity.
I agree 100% I just finished watching the Netflix documentary anyone with basic discernment could tell that something was very wrong about this man. The look in his eyes made my skin crawl.
I remember my grandma telling me years ago Jimmy Saville opened a local funday, they thought he would stay an hour then be off. He actually stayed all day in fact when it was all over he was still there hanging around, they couldn't get rid off him.... she thought he was very creepy and odd.
Wtf is a "funday?" A Carnival?
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 No a day of fun.
I often wondered if there was an inappropriate relationship with his mother. He referred to her as ‘The Duchess’. He kept her clothing and had the lot dry cleaned annually after her death, in addition to spreading various outfits she had around the home.
his mother WAS a duchess .
Does'nt sound so sane...
That sounds like Norman Bates- Psycho material
Or his father could have abused him.
@@r4h4al mountbatten was an abuser
This analysis is personally interesting to me, because I had an uncle who, when he died, we found out that he had abused several children in the family, including his own children. We do not know if there is anyone else who suffered abuses from him. His personality was exactly the same as Saville’s. Quirky, and (it makes me sick to say this) very funny, kind and charismatic. We loved him so much, we were so shocked when we found out. Also as Saville dressed in costumes, and always surprised us with his "performances", I don't know how else to express it. How horrible, everyone loved him very much. He was also highly respected and loved in his profession, being the preferred pilot for the king of Spain (at the time) for his trips. His mother died young, but she had been very castrating and controlling. He was the same type of abuser as Saville, no doubt. He used the same strategy. Also, thank you for not joking in this one. ;)
A long explanation.. every family has a dodgy uncle or something... and we all know about it .. camomile lawns

I had the opportunity to see Saville and Harris at close quarter and the thing that struck me most was that they both had this "look" in their eyes. Cold, uncaring, manipulative while all the time smiling and being apparently genuine and polite etc. That cold faraway look will stay with me forever!! Always look at the eyes!!
I agree. I mentioned this to my Police Psychology professor. There are humans & hunters of humans. The hunters have 'shark-eyes' if you will; cold, unfeeling, & blank.
More misfortune than ''opportunity''.
Eyes are important, they are the windows of the soul. In many cases like JS there is no soul, so the eyes are cold, vacant.
Yes. I have mentioned this to my police psychology professor. There is something unwritten to this very thing. Like shark-predator eyes.
True.....the look that says...I'm getting away with this...and you can't do anything about it...a troubling sort of masonic alliance...able to implement a vile agenda in full view of the decent majority....and when these individuals reach positions of influence...there is no stopping their activities
Would love an entire episode about Saville’s involvement/access to Broadmoor Hospital. I know you worked there much later than Saville, but would still be great to hear your perspective.
My friends and myself were in a Manchester children's home 1960s .So looking at Savile from the 70s it was clear to me and everyone in general. Everyone just knew we always knew about them people but we had never been given words as kid .We knew without saying and we just hoped all other kid were on the radar .That because kids had no phones but we had some kind of link anyhow .Also he was more of my mother's generation and she knew he was a wrong un.It got more noticed in the 1980s when he started to rub shoulders with certain people .My mother always said he was up to no good and never had been .No one spoke about him because he would land them in hot water through the courts. He made that very clear don't ever mess with him .Was he as bad as painted I don't know perhaps he was .These people hide in plain sight .
Netflix has a documentary.
He was like Krusty the Clown.
It's horrible how he got away with this for so long, it's scary how he can basically admit it by saying "I'm feared in every girls school in this country" and still get away with it
Its unbelivable the devil in plain sight
That creature should never be referred to as “Sir” ever again.
Nice one mate, really interesting. Loving the new thumbnails and camera angles too. Moving on up x x
Much appreciated, sir gold
What really upset me was that one of the main victims ''Blamed herself''.... But as a child, what could she have done? Children , especially in that era ''Respected'' adults much more, and were disempowered.
Savile was detested by my Mum who found him ''distasteful'' in the 1970's.
It's really common for child victims of any form of abuse to blame themselves, when the truth is that they were not the ones with the control, nor the maturity or experience to know the difference. It always makes me sad to see child victims blame themselves.
@@frostedsilver Very true-the abusers also try and guilt trip their victims and threaten them into ''not telling''..especially in that era when abuse and paedophilia wasn't spoken about as much.
In my experience I had little boundaries, not a lot of confidence and didn’t know how to say - no I don’t want this. Or to prioritise taking care of myself over the boyfriend I had at the time. It was always in the mens favour. And this lack of awareness was exactly at the worst time, throughout my early teens to my mid thirties. Mistaking passion and drama for love.
Perhaps seeing healthy love growing up prevents this, I don’t know. It’s just a huge shame that many young women struggle to know how to be safe. It has to be a priority to teach girls to speak up and protect themselves.
Thank you for your time & very informative analysis. I'm a retired RMN (trained in 1979) who worked in psychiatric hospitals for 30 years including a spell at Ashworth Hospital. I would likely have assesed him to be a communal narcissist or cluster B personality . I feel that your diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder fits too. None of the diagnostic tools we have are perfect, but im glad I came to a very similar conclusion to you.
The culture and the times completely helped him get away with his crimes. I grew up in the 60s and 70s and there was a strange authoritarian patriarchal style that was acceptable. In other words an older man or a priest or a father or grandfather could act flirty and strange toward younger women or children and everybody would sort of laugh it off this was part of that era. When you talk about Weinstein and all these other people this is much more further forward into the me too movement about 40 years.
That patriarchal style mixed with the vogue for libertinism sounds like a recipe for disaster.
That went on into the 1980s and beyond.
I've no idea why the rest of the country didn't pick this up. My family referred to him as "The Nonce" since the 1980s. This man was protected throughout his life by men who, for their own reasons, knew didn't want him exposed.
IKR. You see him, in a documentary, literally rolling his eyes after he got junk drawed by Harris
My favorite psychiatric RUclipsr!
I just came across this after watching the Netflix doc. You say he didn't have any involvement in other types of crime but there were rumours about beatings of people some of which he admitted in the newspapers without admitting anything specific which he was pretty good at.
Indeed
And necrophillia
Pat Brown a criminal profiler also did her take on Savile, she is on RUclips as well. She thinks that in many cases there isn't any concrete proof for some of his crimes. That is her take.
Edwina Currie knew what she did associating and approving Savile and she know it despite downplaying it. No sympathy for Currie.
Exactly 💯 all if not 99%of these celebrities would stay quite about sexual abuse
I've noticed that predators will groom a whole community, and it's not unusual for their behaviour to be dismissed as "oh, that's just so-and-so,..."
That's something we can all watch out for. If people dismiss creepy behaviour as "oh, that's just them". Red flag. It doesn't always mean somebody is up to something bad, but it IS something to watch out for.
You mentioned the Louis Theroux interview. I’d love for you to examine Savilles’ non-sexual “grooming” of Louis.
He was a mummies boy. With a ego as big as a planet( Jupiter) . He could manipulate people .
Did he groom Louis Theroux ? I'm not so sure . Theroux's approach is very much low key and ordinary, allowing his guests to paint their own canvas . Sure, he didn't uncover his 'activities' but I recall watching the documentary at the time and just took a dislike to Savile . So Theroux at least highlighted Savile as an unpleasant individual.
@@johnburrows3385 Good points, though I would certainly credit Theroux with uncovering Savile's activities at least little bit (without being able to fully call him out) as he brought up the rumour of Savile being a paedophile. It was the first I'd heard about it and unforgettable.
He definitely was a leech. One of the nhs reports has testimony from a witness who observed that he never paid for anything. In the louis theroux doc they eat at a chip shop where he boasts that he gets the food for free because there's a picture of him in the shop window
Read In Plain Sight by Dan Davies - it's a comprehensive insight into his life, crimes and personality
When I heard you refer to "Jim'll fix it" as "Jim Will Fix It" my blood ran cold.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Not in a position to be able to diagnose, but I'd speculate he was on the dark tetrad, sub clinical elements of narcissism, psychopathy, machiavellianism and sadism.
Very true insights
@@micgarn3331 triad
It's a misconception that he was hiding in plain sight. A LOT of people knew what he was. The reason he was never taken down was because of what he knew about those in the upper echelons of society. Politicians and royalty were all involved and still are. If savile was put on the perch he would have sung like a canary and a lot of high profile people would be sank with him. That's why he was afforded protection.
Not what you know, but who you know.
I am so excited to have found you! I am here and have subscribed to your channel after watching your chat with Mr. Black from Disturbing Truth. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from and hearing what you had to say on that video!!! So, here I am ready to binge on all of your content!!! ♥️ from Texas, USA!
welcome. enjoy my videos
one of most disturbing men in British history how this man was aloud to rise to the top is shocking a stain on all of Britain particularly the BBC and the establishment and royal family they covered up for him.
The Netflix show, “A British Horror Story” is worth watching. However, the second part of the documentary, which deals largely with his crimes, is heavily sanitized. He was much, much worse than the Netflix portrayal.
I saw this a couple of days ago. Have to say, I thought it was a bit dull. 3/4 of it focused on his background and only really talked about the abuse at the very end.
Joseph Gerrain: l agree the Netflix documentary somehow side-stepped Alot of the issues about Jimmy Savile / as though the establishment & the Beeb know they have to admit his wrongdoings, but don't want to press the point or go into too much detail.
@@APsychForSoreMinds There was one story in there that made me question the integrity of the story by its sheer audacity - I don't doubt his crmes, but this story: this woman claimed Saviie had his fingers in her mouth and the other fingers up her p****, in church, in front of a whole bunch of people, in the middle of the day when she was in her early teens - this made NO sense to me, and I think she was making it up
Yeah I always heard he liked to dittle dead bodies
I think the Netflix documentary served as: 1) an introduction to JS for Americans, as most of us have no idea who he was, and 2) a simple recap of the things they had at least some evidence for, based on the particular witnesses and investigators they talked to. TBH I was left mind blown and confused by it until I started looking at other documentaries and understanding that he had dirt on other people and probably procured children for them.
I think it's malignant narcissism, caused by his mother. Far too good to be true, and a lot of times these types cause suspicions, but people are afraid to say anything.
Stay Euthymic! That's a good one. And original. Perfect for your area of expertise. New subscriber. It's your third video that I've watched. But subscribed on the first one. True that levity would not have been appropriate in this video but I look forward to hearing your sense of humor as well as more of your learned opinions.
Awesome! Thank you!
“His mother didn’t work ...”
With seven children, a husband, and a household she never stopped working!
She was an unsalaried worker, without a union, a set wage, or probably annual leave.
Men don’t seem to get that pregnancy, birth, and maintaining a household are work.
Hey Doc...WONDERFUL to see you with your own channel,you just popped up on my feed!....fascinating stuff!...love your vibe and analysis of madness!🇦🇺😎🇦🇺
I find it weird that anyone found him charming. I have never seen him behave in an appealing way. Totally creepy and sleezy. The type of jokes ... ugh. Yes the culture has changed but still his type of persona so gross.
One thing i found shocking in the doc is that he "didnt live in the image of god" but "made his view of god in the image of himself". Does that mean he consciously or subconsiously sees himself as god? Crazy..
common trait of narcissism- a one man religion
@@noklarok totally agree. Took the words out of my mouth in fact.
There are members of the establishment still around today, that should be held accountable for the access that he was given to vulnerable people. Broadmoor for example, just blows my mind. The MP Edwina Curry, was responsible for placing him there, and not knowing that he was a serial sex offender, is no excuse for doing something so utterly irresponsible. There will be people in the BBC, the police and in health management that should not be allowed to just plead ignorance.
I've been curious the difference between psychopaths and borderline personality disorder, so thank you for touching on that.
Just listened to his Radio 4 interview "in the psychiatrist's chair" along with many red flags he says he has no emotions, how on earth did he never face punishment? Fascinating guy.
What I find ultimately frightening is the fact that many, many people knew what he was doing yet allowed it to continue. It's like looking at WWll photos of German military staff, both male and female, standing laughing and smiling as if it were a summer's day and they had nothing but fun and games all day before going home to play with their kids - after slaughtering and mutilating thousands.
the banality of evil...
Very interesting. Really enjoy your content.
Just wanted to offer a suggestion (and say this with love) - all moms work. I know what you meant but maybe say ‘his mom didn’t work outside the home’?
Might seem like a small thing but it’s kind of important. 😉
Hi, this is the first time watching your channel. Really good. I am a first year Forensic Psych. student in Australia. Looking a Jimmy Saville through the lens of the DSM-5 it seems to me he meets the criteria for psychopath, the fact that he was able to avoid certain scrutiny, ( via friends in high places), and that his financial situations were as they were, (i.e. very rich) enables him to be excluded from certain criteria in the DSM-5, but overall he meets the minimum requirements for pyscopathy... You thoughts? if any... Cheers Simp70
Exactly. Not a sociopath but definitely a psychopath, aka on the Antisocial Personality Disorder spectrum
2nd year FP student. I would say ASPD as a provisional dx & consider a paraphilia as a comorbidity (pedophilia or situational sex offender)
I’d love to hear your views on Anthony Ferrira, a particularly vicious individual that after serving 20 years in prison for one of the most violent and despicable attacks on a woman in Brixton circa 1992 and was paroled via the DSPD unit at the trust I worked for at that time. I’m from south east London and remember this case well when it happened as it was just so horrific…. Horrific doesn’t even cover it. Merlyn Nuttall (The lady involved) published a book “It could have been you”. Excellent read but just so disturbing.
On one of the documentaries, one of Savile's nephews said and his friends ran away to London and ended up at Kings Cross. There they were 'befriended' by some men who took them back to their flat. He obviously never mentioned his famous uncle. A few days later, who should turn up but 'uncle Jimmy'. The nephew was confused to see him there and it seemed Savile was a bit surprised. Savile then took the boys in and invited them to 'parties' where they talked to a lot of children, and priests were bringing in young people for the men in the bedrooms.
I saw that, and it seriously freaked me out, the nephew thought, if Jimmy had not turned up, he wouldn't have escaped....and fears the fate of other kids there. How screwed up is that????
The nephew Guy Marsden made that up because he didn't get a penny from the inheritance and it was to cover his own tracks, it was proven.
@@summer8941proven where?
Hey I think your channel is great and spot on 👍I think people should talk more about why Jimmy Saville situation was covered up 🤷♂️ so many people knew but? Said nothing .. why? To save there own career. I left the Royal Navy with severe mental health issues and the things I have been through , witnessed and experienced is crazy! It is so sad the people above and in power pick in the most vulnerable people in life. Anyway Dr your channel is so important way way more than you think or believe.

I agree ☝️
@@APsychForSoreMinds hi again. what does Fanalam mean ? Thanks
In the documentary the dialogue between Jimmy and his mother where they 'discussed' him being unexpected (as many children were back then).I felt this was quite telling and had a little part to play .... perhaps it didn't suit his narcissistic mindset. On a side note ... as you were discussing Jimmy's mother you mentioned she didn't 'work'. I'm sure you meant well but this is quite demeaning to women who stay at home to mind their children. Jimmy's mother had 7 children and I'm sure she worked harder than many women ... she just never got paid.
It should say something like " ...she didn't go out to work..."
Neither do I, but I have three children, we homeschool, I cook from scratch, I make all the appointments for my family, and drive them to them, take care of everyone when they're poorly, clean the house, sew for extra money, and all that jazz; if I did those things for the public it would be considered working, and I'd get a lot of money ❤️😄❤️
@@hellybelle5 Exactly ... If you were working outside the home you'd have to pay someone to do all that.
Yes, I thought so too: Should have been "She didn't work outside the home." This may not seem the most important part of the video, but it is actually part of the culture that devalues women to say "She didn't work."
On your side note, I'm sure no ill will was meant by the comment, only a reality then of the times. Even today unless you are a high earner, if you have 3 or more children it doesn't pay to go to work. I remember well when my mother got her 1st washing machine a twin tub, imagine today not having a dishwasher? My mother contributed inside the home. Later when I became a single parent also with 3 boys, I know what is meant by a woman's (in my case man's) work is never done.
@@peterperigoe9231 I know he meant no I'll with the comment but I just want to stand up for women of that time who were very hard workers 👍
The "sir" part really hurt. I'm not even english but the fact that a guy like that could be knighted is revolting and disgusting.
That documentary was chilling and made me feel so uncomfortable having grown up with Savile as the cheeky TV personality but knowing something was off. Totally agree with the creation of a caricature to hide in plain sight because he was so so blatant. Plus Broadmoor keys! Wtf?! I couldn't believe he had access. So many ppl in power complicit in this national gaslighting
Saviles two brothers also had sexual impropriety allegations leveled at them by victims as well.
Nice video Sohom, I prefer it when you're more serious coz your jokes are normally terrible... are you gonna psychoanalyse Rolf Harris next?
Perhaps.
Can you guess what it is yet?
Great commentary as usual, I will never understand how he got the keys to Broadmoor,but hiding in plain sight certainly sums him up. He must've had some serious dirt on people in high places.👍
If he had a key to Broadmoor then other unsavoury people have keys and other unsavoury people are handing them out.
someone must know who gave Saville those keys to Broadmoor.
You explain it all so well and it's interesting.
I really don't know what goes through the minds of people like savile, but I can tell you now I'm certain that there was one thought that flashed though his mind at one point or another. "I can't believe they havent stopped me. I can't believe that I'm getting away with this"
I can't agree, sorry. He came across as one of the most arrogant people I've seen, and I think he KNEW that he had the backing of many other paedophiles in positions of power - politicians, royalty, police etc. He knew no-one could touch him.
@@wendydee3007 fair enough. I still reckon that thought went through his head at least once though.
I live in St Albans , Herts . UK . My next door neighbour has exactly the same mindset as Savile. However he is into harassing people non-stop..... by any means necessary .
My mum was in hospital in Leeds in the 80s for a broken when Jimmy Saville was doing his rounds. He always gave her the creeps, but looking back on things she didnt think he was alone in what he was doing, as when she was leaving the hospital a porter came up to her & made crass comments about being the one to cut her knickers off in A&E. He didnt, so she always found it a vile thing to say. Apparently a lot of the nurses though of him(Jimmy) as a pest & as constantly being in the way. Im so glad you collaborated on Spideys channel & I got to check out yours!
Properly his elite friends adviced him to sue he was.well and truly protected by very elite people it was digusting
I met Savile who was staying in the same hotel in Fort William while on my honeymoon. Apparently he was an honourary member of a Scottish clan. He struck me as being very arrogant and there was just something about him that gave me and my wife chills. I wasn't surprised when his true character was revealed after his death, and like many others, couldn't understand why he hadn't been caught while he was alive.
The fact you used 'Sir' when introducing that sod makes me gag.
He doesn't deserve that honor.
agreed. You'll have to take it up with the Queen, though
Your opinion, but he is allowed that title.
They knew about Saville at Stoke Mandeville hospital in the eighties . Nobody spoke out or came forward .
Dr. Das, the standards of the time do not turn lewd behavior to superficial charm. The observers or victims might not have spoken but it doesn’t mean they mistook one for the other.
The parallels with Brand are terrifying - now we know Brand hasn't been charged as of this writing BUT the fact he's been enabled by the BBC and other media companies surely speaks volumes. Esp. could he have been stopped and what protections are in place to stop that happening again.
I called him out on line on nothing other than my feeling of what he was. A few weeks later it all came out
Here by way of The Disturbing Truth. Great interview! Looking forward to your content.
I believe things are changing but I can't help but be a bit pessimistic and think that there will always be people abusing their power. At least certain people are being held accountable now though.
It's the human way. Give any group of people a certain amount of power and they will abuse it, happened all throughout history and is even happening now. It's almost as if power currupts people or something.....
The BBC protected him since the 70s.The man was a monster.What does power have to do with necrophelia?
The dead person isn't even allowed an opinion on what's being done to them. For some perps, submission/surrender of the victim's will isn't enough.
Control and Power are drugs for them
This is very interesting, thanks. Could you do a psychoanalysis of Boris Johnson? When I worked in a prison healthcare team we had training on personality disorders. The trainers consistently used Johnson as a great example of anti social personality disorder.

I really enjoyed this especially your description of using his wackiness clothes hair ect as almost a reflection of his real weirdness.
To add when he talks on an interview about how he thinks of himself as not clever but tricky he said so many things almost admitting how manipulative he was
You asked our views on the changes that might, or might not, have taken place during/since the 70's and 80's.
I am born in the mid 60's and grew up in Denmark. Perhaps some of you know, that child pornography was legal in Denmark for 11 years and during the 70's. Denmark and Holland were the world's largest producers and distributers of child-pornography.
I remember the sexualisation that took place at the time. Most of my generation will remember our fathers buying a pornographic magazine called "Rapport", they did little to hide it. And especially the men talked about it a lot. TV also started to show porn-movies late at night. Free love, free sex. No bras and topless sunbathing on the beach. Nakedness was stuffed down our troths.
Today I am a sexologist and healer. Actually, a great combination.
I have met so many people who had their boundaries exceeded and suffered sexual abuse at the time. And the most amazing element is, that a lot of them, have never talked about it or done anything about it, simply because they thought that it was ok. Perhaps not normal but something that had to be endured. Therefore, I am not surprised that a predator like Savile could get away with what he did and be so open about it.
I just finished watching the Netflix documentary and the Ch 5 documentary, and your analysis is well done. His nephew - not the one brought up on charges - is briefly interviewed in the Ch 5 documentary, and from his story, it sounds like Savile ran in circles with very powerful and high profile people who were part of a ring that abused very young children. So, this could explain why Savile was able to get "keys" and connections, and was so arrogant, etc. - he was protected because he knew too much? In the Ch 5 documentary, they actually show him sexually abusing a young girl on TV while presenting. It is chilling as he does it - the camera person realizes what is happening and starts zooming in on him so as to exclude the girl squirming from the shot. Also, I wonder about his relationship with his mother as a child - sexual or sadistically physically abused by her? He talks about spending 5 days alone with her body after she died. There are no words.
When he said in the Louis interview that if people kept saying things he'd take them all down, but then after he died, there wasn't any evidence of anything about anyone else, you know how high the power goes, they got rid of it all, and threw him under the bus to throw the blame off themselves.
He obviously thought doing good deeds would cancel out the abuse and that's how he justified his behavior.
I doubt that, I think he saw all his charity work as a smokescreen, I dont think he thought he had to atone for the abuse.
I think he didnt care one bit about the suffering and pain he caused.
You said his mother didn't work, but had 7 children, so mate don't perpetuate the fallacy that motherhood is not a full-time job.
men will never get it..if they can't do it it doesn't matter
There are a LOT of parallels between this situation and the Second Mile/Jerry Sandusky scandal here in the States.
I happened upon your channel this evening, watched this and have bow subscribed.
Yesterday, I watched the Netflix documentaries about Savile and what now disturbs me the most is that the Netflix programmes led me to conclude that, over the course of life, Jimmy Savile did more good than harm.
welcome, fam.
I see what your saying
Great insights there-thank you. Another fascinating insight about Savile came from an interview he did years ago with an Irish celebrity psychiatrist Dr. Anthony Clare. In the interview he mentioned on two occasions that he always kept his car serviced and kept it in tip top condition. Dr. Clare in his brilliant analysis said that this referred to Saviles anxiety about having a proper functioning car in the event of a quick getaway if ever uncovered. Just goes to show as Freud mentioned that there’s no such thing as a mental or verbal accident.
Thank you for your work, excellent content 👏
My pleasure!
Do not underestimate how Savile intimidated people. His combination of high intelligence, physical presence and connections were all tools to frighten those around .
Would love to more about his family and how the dynamics may have played a role in his personality. I recently watched the Netflix doc on his crimes and I seem to recall he was the youngest of seven children. Are there any living relatives and have they spoken out?
I was sent here by Spidey and don't regret it. I'm absolutely loving this channel. The only thing I find distracting is how it looks like he reaches for the phone/camera after each sentence. This is the first of his videos I've watched so maybe it's an anomaly. Love the content though.
We don't really have any information about his childhood behaviour other than his own accounts -- who knows what he might have done that hasn't been revealed?
Thank you. This was brilliant. I am hoping I am able to buy your book stateside.
A recent documentary revealed Jimmy Savile had a serious head/ brain injury as a very young child and was not expected to survive, I wonder whether this influenced his psyche and what he became. Reportedly Fred West's personality also changed and became aggressive after a head injury as a young man.
Oh puleeeeezzzzz, with the f.in excuses!!!!!!!!!🙄🙄🙄🙄🤮
Same with Henry VIII I gather. Jousting injuries
So what was rosemary wests excuse then??????🙄🙄🙄
Oh dear, cant answer it can you🙄
Brilliant! This is really interesting thanks. I am a CPN in an EIP team.
Forensic issues and risk are always a real learning point.
Fascinating analysis; really well presented.
Glad it was helpful!
The culture in the 70s was such that low level abuse was not really even seen as abuse - look at the Carry On films - Sid James character in most of those was basically a sex pest, or an aspiring one at least, but he and the films were also a national institution, and dearly beloved by the public.
Seine Greueltaten durfte er ungehindert 50 J. ausführen. Nicht nur in den 70ern.
@@das_loewenmaeulchen Kein Beweis
There has been no mention of Saville's father - what is the story there?
Good episode Dr Das. What a hideous person. I prefer this type of more substantial assessment rather than the jokey episodes - just my personal preferance! Thanks for covering this case.
The pleasure was all mine
WOW..I could listen to you Dr... all day long..beats housework😅....very knowledgeable and easy to listen to..im 65 and have had an interest in true crimes since a team..knew about blow flies from my 80's crime mags..😮.. ty for your content
I think you are attributing a lot of getaway skill to him when it’s really the enablers that did it. They are the real criminals. They knew he was a monster and they made him, then released him upon society deliberately. Blaming him for everything is inaccurate. Many people conspired to shuttle him along
I agree with you. For example, why did the BBC decide to not to air the Newsnight report into Saville's activities? People who have worked for the BBC have stated that any attempt to draw attention to Saville and his behaviour was immediately squashed by the upper management of the corporation, and there seems to me to be ample evidence to suggest that senior people within the BBC knew about Saville, and chose not to do anything about it.
@@keithp6689probably even engaged in these sadistic acts together. So much bonding 🤮🤢🤢 these ppl are beyond wicked...
@@raymondmancillas9120 I think you're absolutely right, sad to say it. People have spoken out about the so-called "culture" of the BBC, and it seems to be riddled with perverts.
Bigfoot, I mean Shaun told me to subscribe. Love your analysis on his channel.
I can’t believe you don’t have him down as a psychopath. He definitely leeched off others and known not to pay for things not that that’s the key issue. Against the psychopath checklist as you reeled off,he must come out as not just psychopathic but about as pure as they get surely. We also don’t know enough about his early life to say he wasn’t deviant then. Interesting account but don’t entirely agree.
Narcissists are leeches too
I agree. Having s....x with the amount of unwilling people that he did....including dead bodies. If that doesn't make you a psychopath then nothing does.
Severe illness accident as young child nearly died might have been some TBI
Interesting professional viewpoint on that horrific man, it's jaw droppingly shocking that Saville got keys to a mental hospital and had access to the highest echelons of power and even behaved inappriopriately in public. I grew up with him on TV and used to watch him, my Secondary school even had the headmaster talk about Saville as an inspiration for assembly one morning, I had no idea of his vile behaviour until the allegations came out after his death. It's so important that lessons are learnt and something like this should never happen again.
Makes me question the person who gave the keys to Broadmoor over to him had to be one of his cronies. People like this rarely act alone, they know each other and the money he accrued along with Knighthood and visiting the Palace (hasn't he said Charles was one of his best friends?) and all sorts of high official people make me wonder who all were in the know concerning him and probably in cahoots. He said he "worked deep undercover" and knew everyone in positions of power, he just wasn't charming enough in his little track suits and fried hair to charm the people in power.
WE have seen him charm Thatcher and she charm him.... both abused miners/minors.
I know of someone who runs a film festival in London who abuses women. I reported him to Scotland Yard and other authorities. Neither has he paid his female employees for over 3 years. It's unbelievable how people accept such abuse. I did my part and reported him. This is the only way it will stop.
And yet, their dumb asses stuck around...?
Thanks for your very informative video. It’s interesting that the political journalist, Andrew Neil, who I’m sure knew the rumours about Savile’s aberrant behaviours, tried to challenge him in a televised interview. Savile used his trademark vulgarity and ‘Odd’ behaviour to distract Neil, even going as far to using a banana in a crude way. However, Savile did slip up at one point when he stated that he preferred girls, because women know to much. Unfortunately, nothing came of it and he went on to abuse many other vulnerable people.
@Mary . Is that the one where Savile ate a banana?
@@HuHWhat-yi8cp Yes, that’s the one…it was so gross. Andrew Neil knew exactly what Savile was up to but his hands were tied because Savile had the audience eating out of his hand during that interview.
@Mary. Thank you!
Back in the day I always found him 'strange' and it is frightening how much he was accepted. \My Mum met him and spent a few hours in his company and found him charming, all an act as we know now. Sadly attitudes were very different to young girls as 'groupies' back in the day, thank goodness this has taught us all a lesson.
Things are different now? Lol
Thank you Dr. Das, for another valuable video explaining problem behaviors in Jimmy S. character. I thought he behaved like a chameleon. (great salesman-of himself / excellent reader of people , top level predator as well as a very bright/sharp man) He appeared to me to overwhelm people with his unpredictable gestures , fast talking , wit, clothes , hair etc... (like you explained distractions, as a shock factor or keeping them off balance) ( I had never heard of this guy before i watched a documentary on him today before I watched your video. Just for some background on the guy) I reckon he had a huge ego. iI takes a lot of stimulation / work to feed that monster. He was charismatic and charming a dangerous combo in a person who wants to be deceptive. I noticed that he would make this offhand asides about women and people just blew it off. I really think they thought it was part of his stick. (his performance) His ability to move people was mesmerizing. It is hard to see such evil when all around him it appears he is only helping others. He did a huge amount of good for the forgotten ones in society such as the people with spinel injuries of Great Britain. No matter what he did in his personal life what he did for the organizations he got behind was outstanding. He did do some extremely kind things for others even if it was for selfish reasons. ( you would have never known it and who cares) He created one in.a lifetime moments that really mattered to people. Jim'll fix it was incredibly kind show.
What was he???
To answer your question has things changed toward the treatment of women. I do think the facade of a change in mens (and women's) behavior toward women over time has changed , but men have not changed. ( I don't want men to change what is wrong with men)? You will always have bad apples in both sexes. . I know that when only men are around you tell dirty jokes and sing dirty songs about women (all in jest and for fun not hate) poking fun at each other about women. Some folks just can't take a joke.
Many thanks for all of your comments x
Jocular contempt is, in fact, a type of hate.
He says that he learned standing out gives him power because he used to wrap his work clothes in newpaper when down the mines so when he came up from the pit he was immaculately dressed and it freaked people out.
His mother stayed at home and looked after her husband and seven children. I think that counts as work.
Think he means 'work' as paid employment. I doubt he's suggesting full time parents don't have a heavy workload.
Jimmy Savile always gave me the creeps but I was very young and didn't understand why
