Beloved? Ugh! As a young teens, when this creep visited my school and convinced our heartache we 11 to 16 year olds should do a charity cross country run with him through Roundhay Park, we girls realised what he was like and decided to run in groups at the speed of the slowest in each group. Just as well. Creepy Jim tried his hardest to herd the prettiest girl in each group to run with him solo. Our teachers never believed us when we said we didn't trust him, but we knew what he was. My father had met him previously and also felt he was a "wrong un." He arranged for several friends to be around the park along the route to intervene if necessary. I'm 70 now.and have been a teacher for decades, what Creepy taught me was to accept the gut feelings of children. Kids are often less naive than adults. It was obvious this was a horrible man. I am certain many people in power knew exactly who and what he was. If kids who met him briefly realised, how could they, as adults who knew him well have missed his disgusting innuendos and not have realised what a dangerous and depraved individual he was?

when my wife was training as a chef in the 90's, she was doing some silver service waitressing for the special Olympics at the Mountbatten centre, here in Portsmouth, and was 19 when she met Saville, when they had the wait staff line up to meet him. From what she's told me, he walked his way down the line being all schmoozy, with the other waitresses until he got to my wife. She cut him a look that basically told him "don't you even DARE speak or even look at me". He quickly moved on. I think it's telling that it's almost like so many people at the beeb seem to know, to the point that John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) of the sex pistols got banned from BBC radio because he was outspoken enough to say that Saville was up to "all kinds of sordid things, and in short tried to warn people that Saville was a paedophile. As much as I dislike Lydon, I love the fact that Saville was at the top of his "people I want to kill" list Saville was an evil piece of filth.

I didn't think to go to the lengths of reading his book, either, so I hope you take a good rest to put it behind you for a bit. My girlfriend grew up in Leeds with her mum a nurse in the hospital there. The amount of anecdotes or stories of things people had seen or heard or had a vague sense of. I think people often look on Savile and act like it's from some other time now. Like the suffering he caused affected people from some different reality that's long gone, but so, so much of it is still felt by so many people today. Whilst I too have a lot of issues with the recent drama I do commend them for including interviews from the survivors.

They didn't deserve the fear and pain. While they did evil things as they grew up, there are still people who feel like that over similar situations. We need to support the children of now, not just because they deserve it, but because those kids could hurt others if they don't have support.

its not much of a consolation but the reason Jimmy was asked about a wrestling career is because he fancied himself a wrestler and in 1971 got in the ring with a wrestler named "The Exotic" Adrian Street. Wrestling is "fake" but on this night Adrian was in no mood for the mockery of his business (I dont believe many knew how awful he was at this point). The bell rang and Adrian clocked Savile in the face. In wrestling fans in the know refere to this as a "shoot" as in move or strike thrown to intentionally harm outside the realm of "working" a wrestling match. Adrian proceded to beat the tar out of Savile. and yes. it is all on youtube. feel free to search and enjoy. Adrian has also talked about the incident in interview. RIP Adrian Street 1940-2023

As a survivor who will never fully come to terms with what happened to me, I offer my thanks to thoughtful people like yourself for highlighting which was and still is an endemic problem in society, in this instance in the media. Often people fail to acknowledge the obvious dark side of so-called "pick up artists" and that they are basically rapists, thank you for including this in your video. I couldn't watch The Reckoning beyond the first 15 minutes, so I'm also grateful to yourself and other KZfaqrs for taking that hit and to Steve Coogan and the team behind the drama for his sensitive portrayal of that monster, and for giving victims a voice. Sadly victims are often forgotten in the glare and speculation surrounding high profile crimes, perpetrated by people like Saville. So here's to all the innocents who suffered and are suffering and here's hoping we find lasting peace and a greater understanding of how we can identify and even prevent further suffering and deal with people like Saville appropriately and swiftly. No one should be above the law, but that's perhaps a story for another day. We can all do our bit, I started by bringing up my son's with the help of their father to respect other people, and I can see that at work in their lives now, the cycle is broken ❤

I watched this with great interest as I was a child of the Savile era, but not just that my dad worked with him at Bradford Pit in Manchester. So, when I was young, if he came on TV, or Cyril Smith, my dad would say "get that paedophile off TV," followed by him getting up and switching channels. I never knew what the word meant and it kind of left me. I remember the several times I watched the Manchester Marathon and he’d grab girls at the side of the road, I thought it was odd behaviour. One Day I was working away in Aylesbury, I was in a restaurant called Carlos's and I heard 2 voices, one I thought I had heard before, but I didn’t turn around to look, when he passed my table he looked over and said, “You are in the company of somebody famous.” I realised who it was and ignored him, this angered him so much he spent all the time moaning to his friend that I had not acknowledged him. When I left I looked across and flipped a ‘V’ at him. After his death I remember the fuss given to him, almost like a state funeral that narked me as being a republican. I hate pomp and circumstances like that. In the summer of 2015 I saw a play at the Park Theatre in London called ‘An Audience With Jimmy Savile’ by Jonathan Maitland, containing research from the book 'In Plain Sight' by Dan Davies, Savile was played by Alistair McGowan and the portrait was so scary, but the most upsetting thing was at the end the number of people sat in their seats crying, I had a lump in my throat and intended to go to a bar after the show before hitting my hotel, I couldn’t do it, I just wanted to lie down.

I've taken an interest in this particular unmasking of what was a truly prolific predator in our midst. However, I'm not in any way surprised by how this guy was able to hoodwink and gaslight the public for so long, only to have his absolutely monstrous crimes uncovered after his death. The period during which he was A) at the height of his popularity and power and B) committing his crimes against his victims (crimes committed not with near-impunity, but with absolute impunity), that era was rife with the kind of abuse of a celebrities' position of influence and power. It was endemic to the system. What mystifies me is that we haven't uncovered even more of these predators, because they were not so much a bug in the system as it existed then, they were a feature. These scumbags were an integral component of the celebrity culture that prevailed at that time...and to some extent, still does prevail. Jimmy Savile is merely one of far, far too many who were (and remain) just like him.

Personality disorders aren't something you are born with, it's something you get because of trauma and abuse as a child. MENTAL ILL PEOPLE AREN'T "BORN EVIL". It's not his mental illness that made him a predator, it's him not acting to be better. Narcissists, psychopaths, sociopaths, antisocials, they can all be good members of society who don't hurt others. Their brain work differently because it has been harmed in its early development. People do evil because they want to and do not work on themselves. Thinking that evil is born and that evil can only be done by mental ill people will blind you to your own faults and the faults of the people you care about. I'm mental ill, and because I am, everyone excuse my mother's abuse toward me. I have never hurt anyone, I just work differently, but I had to hear again and again how hard it must have been for my mother to raise me and I should think about how it affected her instead of me. It doesn't matter how hard it is for me to survive in a world not made for my brain, because her feelings, as someone seen as mentally healthy, is more important than my well-being. I wasn't born this way (I was still born neurodivergent, the reason why the abuse got worse toward me than my siblings), my mother made me this way, but it's use against me, as if it's my fault I'm being treated this way and I never deserved the same motherly love other children get. Putting mental ill people in those boxes of "evil" lead to treating all of us as inferiors and to children like me, who are raised by parents that refused to show them love because "you are a monster and you will kill us all" (My mother's own words)
@mikesmithz9 ай бұрын
While I agree the majority of personality disorders are created by the environment you are raised in, that's not always the case, some people are born damaged..."evil" if you will. From Twin studies we can see how much of an impact the environment has on people and its not as much as you would think - it seems people are born "broken" and it's the environment that triggers the genes to activate. This is why people can have the same upbringing yet become radically different people. I'm a narcissist - I don't believe my upbringing caused this disorder. My environment may have triggered the genes to cause it, but I was born with narcissism all ready there waiting to be activated. Twin studies are fascinating, they show just how much of our personality is way beyond our (or our environment's) control- IQ, sexuality, personality and a million other things are hard wired from birth. They either stay hidden or they wait to get triggered by our environment.

I’m so glad they gave actual victims screen time too, it broke my heart. I’ve had nightmares about this man for years despite not watching him as a kid (he died when I was like 8, and I know it’s different but I think my version of him is KZfaqrs I loved who were exposed for being predators) but all the things I’d heard about him were enough to give me an idea. The topic triggers me a lot due to past trauma but honestly I think it triggers pretty much everyone because it’s so horrific to think of how it could happen. Hidden in plain sight sort of thing. I’m also glad that the series I watched really pointed out the casual misogyny and creepy comments and actions that were brushed away as ‘oh that’s just what he’s like’. And I’m glad they showed how he used religion as a sort of guise too, and how he was close with mayors, powerful religious people, royals, prime ministers, famous people, and used it all to his advantage to abuse people and then threaten them and gaslight them to try to make them remain silent. It makes me feel ill to think about it but at the same time I feel like I want to know about it if that makes sense

These days she's baffled by how many of these kinds of allegations took everyone by surprise when the creeps were literally out here writing songs about it. I guess props to Abba.

I can understand just how vulnerable you are when there’s such a huge power imbalance between victim and perpetrator, and my heart goes out to everyone who was hurt by him and his friends who helped him cover it up. The fact that he visited the Yorkshire Ripper in prison was a surprise to me, that alone should be a huge red flag, who would voluntarily want to have regular chats with one of the most vile murderers?

Your mom calling him a “ dirty old man “ before it had publicly come out that he was in fact a defendant predator reminds me of the story my mom told me about our former neighbor who ended up being arrested for possession of elicit images of minors . I was a toddler then so I don’t remember it , but apparently she always had a feeling about him and would never let him near me . Even before he was actually put on the registry. Good job mom , if only she felt that way about the teacher who she is friends with who sexually harassed me repeatedly. I told her, but my mom just made excuses for that person.

Hey Rachel! I have a video suggestion because I find the topic to be very important. I don't know if you heard about Pandora Gate but basically some of the biggest Polish KZfaqrs have been exposed for doing horrible stuff with their underaged fans. It's a very big thing on Polish KZfaq right now but it would be good if it got more international attention. It's a scary sytuation because when I was the same age as the victims I also used to watch these content creators and I think many other Polish people my age can relate. (ive benn writeing to several youtoubers with a similar style of content because i just think covering this is really important)

What is there left to say about Savile that hasn’t already been said? By the way my own mother changed the channel and called him a pervert too. Turned out, she was right. The BBC knew he was dangerous but they were making too much money out of Savile to get rid of him. By the way, Savile never ran those marathons - he used to run the beginning and the finish, and his driver gave him a lift in the middle.

Im not surprised a book like that would get published. If you listen to the lyrics of a lot of songs from that time seemingly confess a lot of the same things, and they are still played on the radio today. You're not going to get Steven Tyler, Anthony Kiedis or others who are doing the same things calling him out.

A few years ago I heard a song called playing in a large chain music store. It was two rappers, one white. About getting a girl drunk and forcing her to - I phoned to complain. I said, "Would you play that track if it was about a boy?" But that was seen as acceptable in the 2000s.

If you want to continue on entertainment profiles with victims in the likely hundreds look into the late Johnny Kitagawa. It is bad, he had his own huge talent agency and thus got access to potential victims for more than 50 years.

Thank you Rachel for this well thought out video about Jimmy Savile. I'm so glad that you put across the point that it doesn't matter whether abuse happened in 70's/80's or even before then, a child is too young to consent. I was sent to a Boarding School in Surry (I grew up in Care) when I was 12 we had Celebrities visit our school, I had no idea who they were at the time, years later when all this came out about Jimmy Savile I realised that it could so eaily have been my school he visited. I almost wrote to him to Fix it for me to see The Osmonds as I was, and still am, a big fan of them. My heart goes out to everyone who was abused by this man, I know what it's like to be a child have that happen to me, just like with me, someone could have done somethig to help me but choose not to because, I beleive they didn't want to get involved, there's no excusing that. A crime is a crime whenever it happened.

A similar thing happened with Don Bourke, an Australian celebrity gardener. I remember telling my mum (I might have been around 6 or 7) that I didn't like him. Mum dismissed it as he became popular around the same time something pretty bad happened to me. Anyway, 25yrs later, people started coming out about how creepy he was.

For what it's worth, I don't associate him with any particular place or region. For me, the worst aspect of this whole affair is the huge number of people who colluded to facilitate and perpetuate his abuse have avoided answering for what they have done. If anything, they're worse than him because they had the opportunity to stop him. Who are they protecting now? How much abuse are they facilitating?

I definitely think he's objectifying the woman who preyed on him as a coping mechanism in adulthood. It sounds like he rewrites history as an adult to try to be the predator so he doesn't have to be the victim. I have all the sympathy you can have for an abused child for him there and I have no complicated feelings for how he talks about her. But that doesn't excuse his later actions

As someone in the U.S., I have never heard of this man. Thank you, Rachel, for bringing attention to this terrible person and the abuse he inflicted on others. No matter how much time has passed, it is vitally important to discuss the atrocities committed. Thank you so much for this work, it’s so important, and I know it’s not easy. You are incredible!

i was born in 1950. My first memory of Jimmy Saville was in the early 1960s at the "Boy's and Girl's exhibition" , where he had silver/black hair. In the 1980s I remember him being interviewed, and saying "when people find out just how much of a crook I've been, they will be horrified".

Regarding the altruism and charity stuff - a lot of narcissists are actually particularly fond of making grand altruistic gestures. Not only does it provide a perfect cover that convinces others that they're super lovely people which makes their victims more likely to be disbelieved if they ever do come forward, but it also naturally results in them being showered with praise and being told how wonderful they are for doing this, and there's nothing a narcissist loves more than attention and adulation.

Bless people like you. I think I’ve heard of you in the video-essayist sphere before, but this is the first video of yours I’ve seen, and I just want you to know how appreciated you spreading this knowledge is. Having someone else tell me about what’s in a book like that seems to allow a level of separation, at least for me, where I can still feel deep empathy for the victims and rage at the criminal monster, but at less of a mental cost then it seems to do to people who do videos on subjects like this. So I just want to thank you again for being a person strong enough and brave enough to put yourself through something like that to disseminate important knowledge like this. Through people like you, greater numbers can learn of these things that have been hidden for too long, even if they may not have the mental fortitude you do.
