My friend lived in the west end as a child, she remembers how the kids disliked Jimmy Saville and used to tease him even pull his hair when they saw him, apparently he was quite horrible and shoved them away when they asked for autographs, only nice in front of the cameras. They banned Johnny Rottens interview, which is so telling and beyond disgusting that they let him get away with it.

He was in a cycling club with my grandad in West Yorkshire. Birds of a feather.....

I watched the Netflix Jimmy Savile documentary with a blend of curiosity, trepidation, and utter revulsion. That he got away with his many sexual crimes for so long speaks to his narcissistic sense of entitlement and the public's irrational fascination with the plasticized world of celebrities and entertainment. Hero worship surely comes to mind.

I was a nurse at one of the hospitals when he was a porter there , I was a new member of this particular ward in 1985,I was told by a colleague that Jimmy Saville sometimes came onto the ward and said he was a lovely man and so funny, 'I looked at her horrified',and without thinking I said 'he won't be coming near my patients'(I was caring for very sick children at the time).I also had 3 young sons when he was making Jim I'll Fix It on TV, I would not allow my children to watch this programme,'he was creepy'.I wasnt even taking a psychology degree,but my gut told me there was something really bad about that man.When it came out what he'd been doing after he died, I was not at all surprised,my husband at the time then said you were right about Saville.Neither was or am a psychic then or now. As an after tag ,I would not let my children watch on TV either Rolf Harris or Gary Glitter, same reasons as above comment.

It was an amazing documentary. Well worth a watch to those of you who haven't seen it.

New to your channel. Love what I've seen so far. I think JS is one of the few horrific monsters that actually looks like a horrific monster. (and people were still fooled🤬)

Just subscribed to Shawn’s channel. Some excellent content over there. I’m going to watch the documentary then come back to watch your video. I watch all your videos. Excellent context Dr Das. I do not watch Dr Grande anymore either. Never knew he wasn’t a Psychology Dr. My partner is a masters of psychology. He enjoys your videos too! Keep up the great work.

Over here in Germany Jimmy Savile has never been as famous or popular as he has been in the UK, but I knew his face, name and "persona" and of course I knew "Top of the Pops". But I hadn't fully understood HOW popular and well connected he has been before his crimes became public after his death. It puzzles me how he could get away with all the horrible stuff he has done to other people. When I learned that he even had "free acess" to hospitals and psych wards, I couldn't believe it at first. And he did it hidden in plain sight...for decades. He truely groomed the entire British society, from working class teens all the way up to the royals. It's a pretty unique case, though Michael Jackson probably did something similiar, but on a global scale. But if he did, MJ didn't have as many victims as "the creepy old cigar muncher". Over 400 people were molested and/or sexually assaulted by Savile.. What a monstrous criminal this guy has been.

Unfortunately Netflix documentaries have a tendency to shy away from sharing all the ugly details in case of backlash or frivolous law suit I assume. It’s a shame, but at least in this documentary they didn’t blame an owl…. But if you get your own series, I would 100% watch every episode!

Who on earth gave JS permission to wander around Broadmoor and Stoke Mandeville needs to be brought to account too

The insulation JS built around his blatant offending is astounding! It also reminded me of the more recent and even more disturbing Ian Watkins from the Lost Prophets. It’s so difficult to wrap my head around how these offenders operate in plain view and manipulate others into assisting them.

Even as a kid I always thought Jimmy savile had an eerie creep factor.

and there was also Rolf Harris, Stuart Hall and God knows how many Radio 1 DJs. Perhaps that was the culture of the day: I’ve made it to the top and this is my entitlement (though I must admit that Savile always gave me the creeps).

I'm hooked on your presentations now!

I don't think the BBC were being naive at all.

I love the picture with the super heros, the flowers, and the dino too! 😋 Great video!

Great vid, Dr Das. Would be great to see some of your analysis on historical shuckers n jivers like: King Charles 1st, Oliver Cromwell or Lee Harvey Oswald. Cheers!

I just watched the Netfilx docudrama. Mr. Savile did more for his country and the people of Britton than any politician . I find it appalling that a witch hunt was started by envious individuals with prudish sexual hangups. I wish I could have known the gentleman. He was certainly better than anyone here in the states.

He looked horrible.How could he become so popular it boggles the mind.And who would let children near him regardless of what you knew didn't know.Imagine him in the streets and not famous, an ordinary bloke, I doubt parents would let the kids to be near that person.

Thanks for this analysis. The documentary was informative and very disturbing. Hopefully no more like him.

Compare him to George Michael. No-one knew until after he died how charitable he was.

I am 73 years old but could never watch Savile on top of the pops or on TV when I was in my teens he gave the creeps even then he looked at girls as if he was undressing them even on to

Can you do a video about psychanalysists? Would love to get your take on it

I also found that a British horror story was limited and boring, especially considering how much material there is on him already. Instead really liked Louis Theroux’s doc where he reflects about his personal experience with saville & includes victim’s witnesses.

Great thank you

Great stuff love the videos. Here's a task, do an in depth analysis of Lee Harvey Oswald.

Just like the Royal family they dont pay for anything . Charles returned his Tesla because they wanted him to take out a lease

It was OK. Nothing new. Bit long. I think Shaun is capitalizing on the fact a new Saville drama will be coming out soon. Interest will peak and he'll get views.

In answer to your question why did Saville do so much volunteering and fund raising for charity? All the documentaries I've seen give the information that Saville was born into and raised a Roman Catholic. Many people nowadays have no religious beliefs but in Christian belief, Protestant Churches teach that belief and acceptance of Christ's sacrifice alone brings salvation of the soul. In contrast, the Roman Catholic Church also places great emphasis on GOOD DEEDS. In the Medievel play 'Everyman' his good deeds come to him and say ""Everyman I will go with thee and be thy guide". The character Everyman means all men and Good Deeds stands for acts of charity, kindness etc that humans make on their journey from birth to death. In Catholic belief, your good deeds are used at your judgement by God when he determines whether you are admitted to Heaven or consigned to Hell. There is also an old Catholic folk saying "God says, take what you want, and PAY for it". Jimmy Saville seems to have absorbed his Roman Catholic upbringing and tried to twist its teachings into loopholes to avoid his final damnation. Saville himself spoke to interviewers and said that he hoped he had done enough good in the world to outweigh any evil deeds and he mentioned a ledger with his good deeds and his bad deeds measured against each other and he would be admitted to Heaven because the good outweighed the bad. He then went on and made jokes about threatening violence to get in. He always got away with revealing his real intentions and beliefs by mixing them with jokes and absurdity. I think I've seen two interviews where he referred to his good deeds and going to Heaven. So his Roman Catholic upbringing and his knighting by the Pope where his charity work and volunteering was acknowledged and rewarded by God's representative on Earth (if you are a Roman Catholic) meant a great deal to him. The knighthood from the Queen and Prince Charles's friendship was Social Advancement and acceptance and solidified his place in the Establishment: but the Pope's knighthood went higher for him and fed into his need for forgiveness and hope of ultimate salvation. He was also found with his arms and fingers crossed when his body was discovered; so he had prepared his body to emphasise his hope that he would be allowed into Heaven. Saville spent his life trying to buy his way into Heaven. He used those good works, charitable deeds and £40million raised to "pay" for his abuses and the more abuse and sins he committed, the more he worked to offset his crimes.

Hi do you use the DSM-5 over there... I assume you're in the UK? I guess psychopath isn't on official list of diagnoses anymore? It's a criteria of sorts under antisocial personality. I'm not particularly in agreement with that.

Fascinating, thanks

Psychiatric issues are your forte, but I was thinking that him having a medical condition he should have been using eye protection with gel gtts and padding and taping eyes for mucous membranes protection. I have never heard of this character but listening I immediately jumped to gang initiation because it’s not only encouraging but the worsening offense is the best defense in joining the team.

I haven't seen the Untouchable video yet. But your comment on Jimmy doing charity work to get closer to people was quite interesting. In the Netflix version, they suggested that he did charity work to balance out the bad he had done, because he was a Catholic and in effect, wanted to guarantee himself a space in heaven. Bit like saying, 'well, here is a rape that I did, but raising a million for charity counteracts that...'. Do you think that is wrong then?

A friendly warning mate, be wary calling Attwood a "home boy" although he does produce some great well researched content and also has a clourful past. There are a fair few nefarious moments in his life that even he refuses to talk about, hiding in plain sight, as you said.

Isn’t that Shawn documentary on for 3 hours ?

I’m always wary of charming men.

I wonder if Jimmy Savile had magical powers?

Is this documentary available in America? I saw the Netflix and had never heard of him.

How do you know that underage girls are drinking in a bar? Unless you ask them for proof of age you do not know their age.

You did a great job on Decca Heggie NOT 55 pages later I don’t think you seen that coming Dr ?

Shaun Attwood is the best

I think that you may have got wrong the purpose of Savile doing so much charity work. I don't think it was so people in power trusted him and thought he was a great guy. With charity work, a lot of the money raised doesn't go to those people in need. One hopes that a good proportion of it does, but the reality is that charity work is an industry which employs people. Sure, it is an industry that probably exploits a lot of volunteer workers at a low level, but managers and directors of charities don't typically work for free, I'm fairly sure! So, Savile was helping to pump money through the charity industry. The government would presumably be taking tax from that industry. Therefore, I think that people in power knew that Savile had a dodgy side (they may or may not have known the full extent of it), but they simply turned a blind eye because Savile was pretty much literally pushing money into their pockets, money raised from charity fundraising. The section of society that manages, directs and governs things tends to stick together as one mutually back scratching community, so even those who didn't directly benefit financially from Savile's charity work still had reason to turn a blind eye, because they probably socialised with someone who did directly benefit, or at least saw Savile as a good thing from the point of view of that community as a whole. Nobody bites the hand that feeds them, so people turn a blind eye to the dodgy dealings of the hand that feeds them!

Cld u pls try to look less handsome ?? Baggy jumper and a funny hat and wig maybe !!?! Trying to concentrate on what ur saying and distracted by what a fine fit guy u are !!!! Love ur content though so will have a cold 🚿 shower and carry on watching !!! Lol 👌♥️

As soon as you mentioned Attwood I switched off

I find Shaun Attwood doesn’t engage an audience or have much credibility like Neil Samworth or Marvin Herbert. Surprised Dr is engaging his content. Bit of a step down from working with ICMAP

I'm surprised, considering your profession, that you've unquestionably accepted some of the details in the KZfaq documentary, which at points comes across as merely anecdotal. Your material remains interesting nevertheless.

Dude, turn your phone off when you record a video. All of your videos seem to be peppered with notifications!

Why the dinosaur??

Sorrbut who cares!

This would be good if it didn't have this guy presenting it.

Do joe biden

Deffo, like attracks like!!!✌️😉👍

I,d luv to talk to u about my bpd and how and when it was triggered in my childhood! I,ve got empathy though, through having bad experiences myself, thats one trate i havent got, lack of empathy. 😉✌️😉✌️👍
