    To take such a role is a thankless task, but my God Coogan crushed it. He committed fully to it, which could not have been easy, but he has set the bar to a new high. A remarkable performance.

      Savile wasn't particularly funny as a man, and was also not a comedian. I suspect he was much like Coogan's performance. The way he brandishes his charity work to fend off the BBC official seems to have been one of the methods with which he held off awkward questions and enquiries.

I'm so suspicious of any public figure who invests so very much of their time, and public image, to loud boisterous in your face charity work. Doing charity, and having foundations, simply comes with the territory for every wealthy celebrity. however those like Savile, Bill Cosby, Jerry Lewis whom make it an integral part of their 'image' always seem to be using it as a smokescreen. Any wealthy celebrity can do charity work, but seldom do many base a large portion of their career on it.

    Steve Coogan did an excellent portrayal of Jimmy Saville. One of the worst things we can do - is hide and not be open regarding these issues.

What is almost worse, is that complaints were made, consistently, and either ignored, dismissed and JS enacted threats. Sexual abuse was an industrial scale. Lessons have to be learnt and enacted.

    What we must realise is that NOT ALL BBC staff/workers/etc are to blame for this situation. But obviously the ones that were involved in the cover-up of this needs to be held accountable for. Also what about other tv channels, don't you think in the past that ITV may have had SOME ( not all) people behaving in the same way and getting away with it? Nobody should get away with this behaviour and we need to let people be aware of things happening, even some of the victims want people to see this, look out for behaviour signs of anyone they've met or will meet and not to be afraid to tell someone about it. Parents need to be aware so they can tell their kids that if they're in a situation with a person they feel uncomfortable with to say something so they can get help and feel safe .

    Apparently he had a strained relationship with his mother, in an interview he was asked if she'd ever told him she loved him and he said no, she never believed in "modern" things like outward shows of affection and that it was a "stupid question" to ask him. It's clear how this emotional abuse would have damaged him as a child, and we don't know what else she may have done, if he was abused by her or anyone else, eventually turning him into what he became. After she died, he stayed with her body lying in its coffin at her flat for five days, later describing it as "the best five days of his life." Given his history of abuse, of children in his power and even of dead bodies at Broadmoor morgue, I wonder if he did anything sexual to her corpse? It's possible, since necrophiliacs often get off on the sense of power they have over someone in the act of violating their corpse, I've heard. But at 0:50, I don't know how accurate that is, did he ever literally say his public persona was "an act" even to her? Also, at 4:54 consider how political correctness is aimed at making people rethink such toxic behaviour, and to prevent it from being normalized or laughed off as just harmless, because Savile and others clearly used "harmless" banter as cover for what is clearly predatory and exploitative behaviour, and the really shocking thing is it was just regarded as"normal" or laddish behaviour of ordinary men. Any time somebody complains about political correctness or feminism trying to make everything serious or spoil harmless fun, consider what some people like him can get away with when harassment and groping is considered normal, and in a climate that allows that idea to develop. Political correctness is essential for making sure things like that don't happen and guys like him can't get away with whatever they want.

      The people who run the BBC now are not the same people who ran it in the 70s/80s when Savile was in his prime. It's like blaming Rishi Sunak (who was only born in 1980) for Thatcher's close relationship with him.
      It would be easy to use the BBC, Margaret Thatcher, Leeds General Infirmary or whoever as a scapegoat but the reality is that back then, society as a whole had a relaxed attitude towards pervy old men like him. The Sun had no qualms about getting 16-year-old girls to get their tits out on page 3 and even more recently, the likes of Charlotte Church were ogled by tabloids and was subjected to a public 'countdown to consent'. So next time you hear some old boomer romanticising the good old days, just remember it's those days which allowed people like Savile to flourish

    • @johnmc3862
      @johnmc3862 10 месяцев назад

      The protection is exaggerated. Savile would sue anyone who threatened him, individuals, the tabloids, even the BBC. The tabloids would have had a field day if they could prove anything.
      He also had charity work and royal friends to fall back on. The BBC would be shooting themselves in the foot.

    After a few years the Savile scandal stopped feeling like something that actually happened, as far as I was concerned, and instead gained an increasing aura of unreality, rather like an adult fairy tale told to terrify people. I’m afraid The Reckoning reinforced that feel of fantasy for me, as it included details that were admitted fiction, such as Savile dressing as a jester to molest a hospital patient, or his “confession” scene. There was nothing to implicate him in a TOTP dancer’s suicide either, as she’d left a diary in which she claimed to have slept with a different DJ, although the veracity of this diary has been questioned (apparently she’d also claimed to have had sex with Rock Hudson, who was gay!) Whatever the truth of the Savile scandal, this serial wasn’t it.

      I’m sure a lot of celebrities got closer to their fans than was appropriate and took advantage of their status, but I’m not convinced Savile was the worst of them … or that he could’ve molested children with adults close by, as their distress would’ve been obvious afterwards.
