00:00Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three.
00:09Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Top of the Pops.
00:30Hi, ladies and gentlemen, thank you.
00:33Just on the left.
00:38Hi, girls.
00:45So, there you have it, guys and gals.
00:47This is Number One, Two Little Boys.
00:49Thank you very much for watching.
00:50Don't forget, same time next week for another Top of the Pops.
00:53Whoo!
01:07Oh, another day, another dollar, Nick Buyermaster.
01:11I wasn't sure Joe Cockle was going to get on the stage and loan off.
01:14Oh, dear, oh, dear. What, has he been at the Licorice Allsorts again?
01:18You've covered brilliantly, though.
01:20Well, at your service.
01:23I mean, it's only an idea of this stuff.
01:25Goodness me!
01:26Let me get through that.
01:27What's going on?
01:28Oh, dear, oh, dear.
01:29We'll talk about that.
01:30Goodness me!
01:32Where's the fire?
01:34Oh, now then, now then.
01:35Now then, now then.
01:36What could you beautiful young ladies possibly want?
01:39I hope you're not looking for Mark Boland's naughty dressing room,
01:42because that's a bit further down.
01:43The girls were hoping for a little chat to get autographs.
01:46Well, I'm very happy to oblige only if your mothers are happy for you
01:50to enter a gentleman's boudoir.
01:52Of course we are.
01:52Yeah, of course.
01:54Then so am I.
01:55We can go for a drink and come back later and get them, Jimmy.
01:58Why don't you do just that,
01:59while I have an enchanting soiree with these fair milkers?
02:05Sorry, ladies, could you give me one moment?
02:12I said I'd call you.
02:13Why?
02:14I know you did.
02:17I knew you'd drive me back to the hotel, piss off back to Manchester,
02:19and look after the club, then fetch me London Sunday.
02:23I can't.
02:24Why not?
02:26I've so much on.
02:28What, some poxy bird?
02:30You'll have to drive yourself.
02:31I don't have to do anything.
02:33I don't see why I should spend my whole life as your gopher.
02:36Because you know which side your bread's buttered.
02:38Because without me you'd been out.
02:40Roof over your head, work.
02:42I could find work.
02:42Oh, yeah, who with?
02:44Maybe if you did a word from me you'd be out on your arse.
02:49Am I right?
02:50Yeah.
02:52Sorry.
02:54Sorry, father.
02:57Sorry, father.
03:00Well, yeah, I'm gonna promise.
03:04Alright then, on your way.
03:06Take the coke, not the train, it's cheaper.
03:08Thanks.
03:20Oh.
03:21Where's your pals?
03:23Their mums thought you were busy.
03:25Yeah.
03:26Where's your mum?
03:27Came on me own.
03:29Yeah?
03:30So, you up for a bit of fun?
03:34Right, well, you've got your autographs, so run along.
03:36Don't go anywhere.
03:38Night, Jimmy.
03:39Yeah, night, night, choir master.
03:41And, uh, remember me in your prayers.
03:44Oh, I will, you.
03:47So, the night is ours.
03:50The bright lights await.
04:10Okay.
04:12Don't do the dolly.
04:14Don't do the dolly.
04:22So, er, how come your mum didn't come along with you tonight?
04:26We don't really get along.
04:28No.
04:31It's not exactly the Ritz, but it's got everything we need.
04:35What do you mean, everything we need?
04:42I think I'd like to go home.
04:44Where's home?
04:45What do you want them to do?
04:47Oh, I'll do it, but I'll get your taxi afterwards.
04:49After what?
04:50They're up to us.
04:52I want to go now, please.
04:54Hey, hey, hey, listen, listen.
04:55Every princess is nervous on a wedding night, but there's no need.
04:59We won't say it long.
05:00Please, I don't want to.
05:04If you're stuck with me, they'll only make it worse.
05:07Now, come on.
05:08Maybe we'll give you a seat.
05:09It's just this.
05:24Or maybe we'll give you a seat.
05:24Someone's who will never hear you.
05:25Is that her?
05:27She said, sorry.
05:27She said, I'm drunk, she said, sorry.
05:32You don't even need in someone's hands.
05:32No, you don't need her.
05:40And the side is the type of gr & Familie.
05:53I don't know.
06:10I don't think at the time it occurred to me that he was an old man in a young environment.
06:17But subsequent to me having the meeting, or whatever you might want to call it, in my twenties, that's when
06:24it became his, yeah, it's like a dirty old man, trying to mix with young people.
06:29He fooled everyone. He had adults eating out of his hand. He just had, he had the persona about him,
06:40you know. Everyone wanted to be associated with him.
06:45And he just had that aura about him. Everybody loved him. You know, he was the star of the day.
06:56I think he was an extremely clever man. If he had any, there was no talent. But I think he
07:04was probably one of the biggest manipulators of people to rise to the status that he did.
07:15Anybody important, he would put himself in the middle of that. Now, you could look at that in two ways
07:22and say, okay, then, did he just do that to groom more people, for more access to more vulnerable people?
07:31I think three quarters of him, that was the intent. I think the other quarter was he, in his own
07:39sick mind, believed that if he'd done enough good, it would weigh out the bad.
08:28I think the other quarter was he, in his own sick mind, believed that if he'd done enough, he'd done
08:31enough for him to be able to get out of his way to get out of his way to get
08:31out of his way to get out of his way to get out of his way to get out of
08:31his way.
08:59Are we going to write this book?
09:01Or not, Dr. Werthesmith?
09:12Top of the morning to you, Daniel.
09:14And to you, Jimmy.
09:16How are you feeling?
09:17As often as possible. You look a bit worse for wear.
09:20Yeah, I am.
09:22Now you know why I don't drink.
09:23Brisk run to the headland and back.
09:25Showered, shat, shaved.
09:26Ready to rumble.
09:30No, what's this?
09:32Scarborough breakfast, tuck in.
09:35Where were we?
09:36Birth of Top of the Pops.
09:39Ah.
09:41As Wordsworth said,
09:44bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be young was very heaven.
09:50You were well into your middle age by then.
09:55Age is just a number when you're having fun.
09:59But what happened, Daniel, was I made the mistake of letting people see just how much fun I was having.
10:10Ah, greetings, fellow scribes.
10:13Keep those Remingtons clacking.
10:15Deadlines away.
10:16And I don't just mean ye olde cock opening at 12 noon.
10:20Edit, my good friend.
10:21All right, Jimmy.
10:22What have you got for me this week?
10:23A cheery piece about how youngsters should be kind to old codgers and for my Jimmy from the pulpit, Nib.
10:33A quote from Psalm 37, verse 4.
10:35Delight thyself in the Lord thy God, and he shall bring thee the desires of thy heart.
10:42Good, thanks.
10:43Terms as per, repaid in full, within seven days, etc.
10:48Thanks.
10:50I'll get this to bed.
10:55How's, how's things in the world of hackdom?
10:58Er, yeah, good, thanks.
11:02Any, any, er, big scoops in the off-in?
11:08Er, yeah, actually.
11:11We're just about to run a story alleging that someone at number ten is a Soviet spy.
11:16Well, and has the gentleman in question been informed?
11:24I'm sure he will be.
11:26In time to prevent publication, were it to be untrue?
11:29I'm sure we wouldn't run such a story if we weren't confident we had hard evidence.
11:37Well, you'd need to be, because if said gentleman believed he were being maligned,
11:43he'd likely pick up the phone to Mr Legal Eagle and instruct him to take you to the cleaners.
11:48And who would blame him?
12:05What you have to understand, Daniel, is the more a man like me tries to spread fun and happiness,
12:12the more you get naysayers trying to stop you.
12:17How would they try and stop you?
12:19By making up stories about things that didn't happen.
12:23Gentleman meets damsel.
12:24They frolic merrily.
12:26Everyone goes home happy.
12:27Where's the story in that?
12:31Well, the story would be if the frolicking wasn't merry, but inappropriate.
12:37Because the damsels were young and vulnerable.
12:41Never happened.
12:42Some people might think there's no smoke without fire.
12:46Look at that cigar.
12:47Do you see smoke?
12:48Yeah.
12:49Do you see fire?
12:52No.
12:52There, free science lesson.
12:55But sometimes there is smoke where there's fire.
13:00You see, you're being negative, whereas I stay positive.
13:05Well, in order to protect myself, I had to keep my eye out to make sure that the naysayers didn't
13:11stop me from doing nice, happy things.
13:40Hello, BBC. How can I help?
13:41I'd like to speak to someone in charge, please.
13:44In charge of what, dear?
13:46Top of the Pops.
13:47Is it about tickets? You have to write in for those.
13:49No, it's about a very serious personal matter.
13:51You see, all she ever wanted was to be on the telly.
13:54It's urgent.
14:11Science.
14:40No carrier thing.
14:41There's definitely no heart there whatsoever.
14:44You must have left it in San Francisco.
14:45One of that dirty weekends of Kylie when we were in the disco, eh?
14:49Get this man a new heart pronto.
14:52Sav, how's Trix?
14:54Tickety-boo, as ever.
14:56Doctor News Hound.
14:57Good.
14:58So, what have you got for me?
14:59Marathon.
15:00Week Saturday.
15:01Kiddy's Cancer Charity.
15:02Starting and finishing in Roundy Park.
15:05There'll be a Bino afterwards.
15:06Rash band, young lady in tutus, all that bollocks.
15:09I'll give you some bullshit for an exclusive.
15:11I'll be there.
15:12Yeah.
15:13And the BBC have tapped me up to do religious programmes.
15:15Why not?
15:15You're a man of God.
15:16Why not, indeed.
15:18Yeah.
15:18I even suggested a new show for them.
15:21Savills Travels.
15:22I travel up and down the country, interviewing folk, playing the requests.
15:25Perfect, that for a nomad like you.
15:27Yeah.
15:27You, er, said you had a favour to ask.
15:31Yeah.
15:34Yeah, you've not heard about, er, any hacks, er, sniffing down my personal life, have you?
15:41No, I haven't.
15:43Why?
15:44Don't let it sit the sense.
15:46Not that I'm concerned, with a sweet F.A. to find, as you well know.
15:50As well I know, Sam.
15:52Just keep your ear to the ground.
15:55Well, buddy, I've done with you already.
15:57You look like a new man.
15:58Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
16:11We're going to discuss the biggest lead decision to ban the song Je t'aime, moi non plus by Jane
16:17Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg, despite it having got to number one.
16:21A decision supported by many, including my good friend Mary Whitehouse, and the Pope, on the grounds that it is
16:28inappropriate listening for the youth of today.
16:34What on earth is that?
16:35My new home from home, mother. And, er, fish and chips. Why?
16:47They made homosexuals legal. And abortion. As if the Pope hadn't got enough on this plate without you criticising him.
16:55I didn't, mother. I just pointed out that a lot of young people disagree with him. That's the point.
17:01The show the BBC wanted to help young people, you know, understand, make sense of the modern world.
17:09With Jimmy Savile, you see, on telly and in the papers, that's just an act.
17:15I still don't think it's a respectable act. I mean, why are you wandering the country sleeping in this thing?
17:20Well, don't spend my hard-earned on hotels.
17:24Well, it's odd. I doubt I'm the only one that thinks so.
17:30I'll get you an ice cream.
17:43Hey, Mr Giacanelli. Look who's here.
17:47Sav!
17:48Mio amico. I didn't know you were in town.
17:51Yeah, just showing the Duchess a new set of wheels. She loves it.
17:55Bloody hell. Versatile.
17:58Now, I come bearing gifts.
18:02There you go. That should help drum up trade.
18:04Not half.
18:06Kids come in here all the time asking to meet you. Girls especially.
18:10Sadly, this now being the Duchess's home, I'm on my best behaviour.
18:15Pity.
18:17Anyway.
18:19Here you go, Sav.
18:21On the house is ever.
18:24Give my love to the Duchess.
18:26Grazie, amico. Arrivederci.
18:28There you go.
18:35There we go. Scarborough's finest.
18:45You know there's talk about him.
18:48What talk?
18:49Peter Giacanelli.
18:52Boys.
18:54Oh, good mistake.
18:55Whatever next?
18:57You don't believe it then?
18:59The mayor of Scarborough?
19:00Who dispenses ice cream shaped happiness to countless thousands.
19:05And that's what the local gossip's come up with.
19:08I hope you don't believe that, Mother.
19:11Well, it's a Christian duty to think the best of people.
19:23You don't believe it if someone came up with some malicious tittle-tattle about me, would you?
19:33Why would they?
19:34No reason. No reason at all, Mother.
20:12Well, the man went through to the hospital.
20:20What do you mean?
20:24Bloody hell, mate. Bit of not.
20:26Yeah, I did.
20:27I might have a company.
20:30Apologies. Bill wants to see us. It's urgent.
20:48So, er, what's all this about, then?
20:51It's probably this investigation into standards of behaviour at the BBC.
20:55Not that old bollocks.
21:00Greetings, King Billy.
21:02And congratulations on your elevation.
21:04No-one mourned the passing of Mr. Stone more than Ike,
21:08but I can't think of a better man to fill his shoes.
21:10Thanks, Jimmy. But, er...
21:12I've much more important matters to discuss.
21:16Right. How can we help?
21:19With this, I hope.
21:22Name of Sarah.
21:23She was found dead on her bedroom floor by her mother a few weeks ago.
21:26She'd taken an overdose.
21:28Transpired, she attended the recording of several Top of the Pops.
21:32Good God.
21:35She left a suicide note in which she referred to having sex
21:38with a disc jockey she met on the show.
21:40Yeah.
21:40Mother was horrified and contacted the BBC,
21:42and now she's gone to the press.
21:45Yeah.
21:48I have to ask this, Jimmy,
21:50as I'll be asking all the presenters of Top of the Pops.
21:56Did you know her?
22:00Never laid eyes on her.
22:03Poor lass.
22:05But this is the sea we find ourselves swimming in, gents.
22:10Top of the Pops is a national phenomenon.
22:13Young people, especially girls, are obsessed with it.
22:17Er, that's why we're in the tabloids.
22:22If I had the slightest inkling that any DJ had had a relationship with an underage girl,
22:27I would have been in here to report it.
22:28Underage girls shouldn't even be attending the show.
22:30Yeah.
22:31We do our best to prevent that.
22:33How?
22:33Well, if they look young, we ask them.
22:36Er, if they lie, what can we do?
22:39I mean, the whole building is a rabbit warrant.
22:42It is.
22:42It's impossible to keep tabs on...
22:43Yes, it is.
22:45...who they are, what they're doing.
22:50And there's the bigger question, er, did it happen?
22:56Why do you say that?
22:58Because of my insight into the mind of youth.
23:01Don't forget the BBC asked me to front, er, Speakeasy.
23:04Mm.
23:05And it's a sad fact that a lot of these young girls, so obsessed with fame,
23:09they don't know truth from fantasy.
23:12They lie about their age to get on the show,
23:14and then they lie about their encounters with their pop heroes
23:17to impress their friends.
23:19But they claim he's here the girl had sex with a DJ, not a pop star.
23:22Well, some DJs now achieve the same status as pop stars.
23:27Due in a large part of the gentleman sitting beside me.
23:29With the result that, er, sadly, we too become, you know,
23:33the focus of the teenage fantasies.
23:35I hear you, Jimmy.
23:37But we need to get to the bottom of this.
23:39I expect nothing less.
23:40A lawyer's already looking at DJs and producers
23:42taking favours to play records and so on.
23:45They're going to want to look at this too.
23:48Very wise decision, one which I fully support.
23:51And I know we, er, we will do everything in our power
23:56to, er, assist him.
23:58Mm. Absolutely.
24:03Good.
24:08Good.
24:10Yeah.
24:20The charity work, why do you put so much time and effort into that?
24:25Two reasons.
24:27One, as a tribute to the Duchess who set me on the path as a young lad
24:32by making me help out in church jumble sales.
24:35And two, as I said to His Holiness the Pope when I escorted him round Yorkshire,
24:40if I can bring a little bit of sunshine into the lives of those in need,
24:43then I bring it into my own.
24:46It's just that some people have suggested there could be an ulterior motive.
24:50What ulterior motive might that be?
24:52That such relentless work for charity...
24:54That has raised tens of millions...
24:56...could be motivated by a desire to compensate for a darker side.
25:01Now, I'm not making any accusations, I'm just simply asking you the question.
25:04Yeah, and I'm simply answering it. It's fucking bullshit.
25:08And anyone who says that is a cunt.
25:18Jimmy!
25:19I can't believe it!
25:21The Beach Boys play in this hospital.
25:23People live on it sunshine with the world and his wife turning up.
25:26Bletchy Theatre only holds 200.
25:28That's why it's patients and staff only.
25:30That's why we've been keeping it hush-hush, Graham.
25:33We'll get you a front row seat, buddy.
25:36You're a bloody saint, Jimmy!
25:37Well, not yet, pal, but, you know, feel free to put him over the Pope.
25:45Where's Charles?
25:46Er, he's in the hall just checking everything's ready for concert.
25:50Er, he's a bit of an old fusspot, isn't he?
25:53No, he's not. He just likes to do things right.
25:56I don't believe we've met.
25:58Beryl.
25:58Oh.
25:59And I think he's been very good about this.
26:02About what?
26:02You're coming back to hospital when he said he didn't want you.
26:05Flirting with nurses and carrying on and scaring patients.
26:09Don't flirt with the nurses, darling.
26:11If anything, it's the other way round.
26:12And I've never frightened anyone in my life.
26:15And Charles didn't have much choice.
26:17Prime Minister Wilson has asked me to front the
26:19I'm back in Britain campaign.
26:21Which means asking celebrities to, er, do some voluntary work.
26:25Hence my two days a month here working as a porter.
26:29And I brought the Beach Boys.
26:32Hmm.
26:32Well, Charles is pleased about that anyway.
26:35There's a letter here for you.
26:37Can you read it?
26:39I need specs.
26:42Why do people write to you here?
26:45Well, I'm a nomad, you see.
26:47So they write to me wherever they think they can find me.
26:53How come Charles told you he'd banned me?
26:56Mind your own.
26:58Do I detect more than a mere professional relationship?
27:02Detect what you like.
27:04Is it a patient from Broadmoor Hospital asking if you'll open a fete?
27:08Yeah, I get all sorts of, er, crackpot requests.
27:13Hiya, love.
27:19Hey, um...
27:22See you tonight.
27:23Right, see you tonight.
27:29Batting above your average there, pal.
27:31Won't mind giving a smacked arse myself.
27:33Hey, bless her lad.
27:35Beryl's a very nice person.
27:37Oh, yeah?
27:38How do you meet her?
27:39She works in canteen.
27:42So, what, your eyes met across the meatballs, eh?
27:44Love at first bite.
27:46We're in a serious relationship, if that's what you...
27:48And there was me thinking you'd be a bachelor boy forever, Charles, like me.
27:53Oh, well, anyway, I, er...
27:55I wish you both much happiness.
27:58Thanks, Sal.
27:59Anyway, the all's all set.
28:02We just need the beach boys.
28:04Well, ah, they'll be at Tut Queen's Hotel,
28:07trying to make sense of what a Yorkshire accent.
28:10Up and I'll go fetch him.
28:14Hello.
28:16Yes.
28:18Yes, he is.
28:20Aye.
28:22Aye, he's with me now.
28:24Yeah, all right.
28:26It's for you.
28:26Someone called Albie.
28:28I'll, I'll see you in the hall.
28:29Right.
28:33Albie.
28:34Your sixth sense wasn't wrong, Sav.
28:37They are digging into your personal life.
28:40And it's the paper you write for.
28:42Fucking hell.
28:43You don't sound surprised.
28:45They're just outraged, that's all.
28:48How close do you think they are to running it?
28:50It's not imminent, according to my source,
28:52but I guess with that piece in the news of the screws
28:55about that lass topping herself.
28:56That was bollocks, Albie.
28:59Yeah, but they'd not want to be scooped.
29:02Well, Gerry Lee Lewis married a 13-year-old.
29:05Can't imagine David Bowie checks birth certificates.
29:08John Peel has that bloody school girl of the year thing on his show
29:11and you are no one getting in the neck.
29:14Go on, Gerry.
29:15Go on, Gerry.
29:16Go.
29:47I'm going to admire the chap.
29:50Yeah, I suppose him having mental problems,
29:52he wouldn't have thought there was anything odd in inviting me.
29:56Really?
29:59Of course.
30:41Oh, yes, I recognize him.
30:43So, for what do we owe this honor?
30:46One of the shows I do for the BBC is called Savile's Travels,
30:50where I wander the highways and byways of the country,
30:53talking to people about their lives.
31:06Now, are your sweets getting smaller?
31:09Because I think some of them are.
31:12Well, no.
31:14How is there a spec?
31:15Yeah, the family loved them,
31:16so he thought he'd try anisee balls and humbugs
31:19and then he thought, well, why not open a little shop?
31:21And the rest is history.
31:46Where is it?
31:48Well, click every trick.
32:07Jimmy!
32:08Sir Arlowe.
32:09Good to see you.
32:10You too, great man of Fleet Street.
32:12Pop up everywhere these days.
32:13If there's a worthy cause, I'll be there.
32:16And inspiration for those columns?
32:17I'm told yours are the most read in the paper.
32:21Responsible things.
32:22Ha, ha.
32:23Tens of thousands of extra sales.
32:25I know the paper is thrilled to have you on board.
32:29And long may it continue, I hope.
32:32Why wouldn't it?
32:34You haven't had offers from others.
32:36I'm never sure of offers, Sir Arlowe.
32:39Well, I'm sure the paper would more than match them.
32:41Very good to know.
32:43And, uh, needless to say, I would like to stay.
32:46And, uh, the editorial staff are very supportive.
32:50I'd like to think so.
32:51You don't sound quite sure.
32:53I'd like to think that they would support me
32:55if my reputation came under attack.
32:58Why shouldn't they?
33:00Well, there are certain elements in Fleet Street
33:02who love to shoot down public figures
33:04based on little more than idle gossip.
33:07True, but, uh, the paper you write for
33:11prides itself on dealing with facts, not gossip.
33:15And long may it continue, I hope.
33:26Morning, scribes.
33:28Slow news day.
33:37Eddie, my good friend.
33:39A lot of glum faces out there.
33:42Everything okay?
33:44Yeah, yeah, fine, thanks.
33:47I'd like to think they'd have to, uh,
33:48spike a major story or anything.
33:50Well, if we did, it would be my problem, wouldn't it?
33:53Not yours.
33:54Indeed it would.
33:58Today's piece,
34:00Broadmoor and Mental Illness.
34:03Pulpit Nib, Isaiah,
34:05learn to do good.
34:07Seek justice,
34:08correct oppression.
34:10Terms as per.
34:14Your contract
34:16has been renewed for another year.
34:20Well, who am I to argue?
34:43How'd it go?
34:44I answered every question as honestly as I could,
34:47and he still didn't seem satisfied.
34:49Tenacious bugger.
34:51Never met a lawyer who wasn't.
34:54Good luck, anyway.
34:56Only nobody doesn't need good luck.
35:01Good afternoon.
35:05Mr Stewart is, uh, quite right,
35:08uh, when he says Top of the Pops
35:10is the biggest show
35:11on TV.
35:13Numerous presenters,
35:15producers,
35:16uh, production staff,
35:17uh, whose names I couldn't even begin to tell you.
35:20So, you know,
35:21he can't be held responsible for
35:22everything that goes on,
35:24nor can I.
35:26You can tell me what you've seen.
35:29Just young people
35:30having fun, fun, fun.
35:32You've never seen
35:34inappropriate behaviour by staff?
35:36Not once.
35:38Touching,
35:40fondling,
35:41any sexual activity
35:43in dressing rooms,
35:44as it said.
35:44Never.
35:48Did you ever meet
35:49Sarah,
35:51the girl who killed herself?
35:52To the best of my recollection,
35:54no.
35:55To the best of your recollection?
35:57Yes.
36:00Does this
36:01assist with your recollection?
36:03It was taken just after
36:05the end of the show in question.
36:08If I had a pound
36:09for every pretty girl
36:11who stood next to me
36:12in the studio...
36:13Look again
36:13at where your right hand is.
36:17It's on her back.
36:18Her back
36:19or her bottom?
36:27Her lower back.
36:30You've an odd idea
36:31of human anatomy,
36:33Mr. Savile.
36:34Perhaps they taught that
36:35at the public school
36:36you went to.
36:37They didn't at mine.
36:43I'm going to ask
36:44bluntly,
36:47did you have
36:48sexual intercourse
36:49with her?
36:50Bluntly,
36:51no.
36:52Have you ever
36:53had sexual contact
36:55of any kind
36:56on BBC premises?
36:57As God is my witness,
36:59no.
37:00Have you ever
37:01been out
37:01with girls you've met
37:02on the programme?
37:04Girls,
37:04no.
37:05Young ladies,
37:06yes.
37:06I'm quite open about it.
37:08But what I say is
37:09get your folks
37:10to invite me round
37:11for tea.
37:11Then if romance
37:12blossoms
37:13between myself
37:14and the young lady
37:15later,
37:16everyone's happy.
37:20I know you are
37:22an eminent chap
37:23and I don't mean
37:23to tell you your job,
37:25but you need to have
37:26a think
37:26about who it is
37:27you're talking to.
37:29I'm talking
37:30to a disc chockey
37:31and a practising
37:32Roman Catholic.
37:33Your religion
37:34is of no relevance.
37:35It is to the BBC
37:36or they wouldn't have
37:37made me present
37:38a religious programme.
37:39I'm a bachelor,
37:41I don't deny it,
37:42and I've got an eye
37:43for a pretty lady.
37:44But underage girls,
37:47Jimmy Savile,
37:48admired by Mary Whitehouse,
37:49founding member
37:50of Lord Longford's
37:51Commission on Pornography,
37:52who does extensive
37:53charity work
37:54for Broadmoor,
37:55and Stoke Mandeville,
37:57any of whom
37:57will be more than happy,
37:59I'm sure,
37:59to provide you
38:00with a character reference.
38:05That's not to say
38:06I don't think
38:07it's quite right
38:08that the BBC
38:09asked you
38:10to establish the truth.
38:21Well, he was an even
38:22bigger arsehole
38:23than I expected.
38:24Oh, yes, yes,
38:25yes.
38:26What's that?
38:27The girls' inquest
38:29was today.
38:37But we've done
38:38nothing wrong.
38:39Agreed.
38:41Agreed.
38:42Agreed.
38:43Yes, we've all seen
38:44a bit of harmless flirting
38:46around the studio,
38:47but in the end,
38:48pop music's about sex,
38:49isn't it?
38:49TV audiences,
38:51TV audiences,
38:51they want to see
38:51girls in short skirts
38:53flaunting themselves
38:54for their pop era,
38:55and that's what we gave them,
38:56for God's sake.
38:57They wanted fun.
38:58We gave them fun.
39:00Exactly.
39:06I know you're a ladies' man,
39:07Jimmy.
39:10Underage.
39:12You'd never do that.
39:14Well, you've answered
39:15your own question,
39:17Johnny.
39:18Quite.
39:22Without you,
39:23the show would never
39:23even have got off the ground.
39:25I don't think the BBC
39:26even know how lucky
39:27they are to have you.
39:37Well, they better
39:39bloody hard,
39:40Quiremaster.
39:44Yes.
40:02I don't think the BBC
40:03would never be.
40:03Yes.
40:04Yes.
40:05No?
40:12No?
40:13No?
40:15No?
40:46You see, Dr. Wordsmith, people say things about me with no evidence.
40:55That don't mean I don't have to be wary.
40:59I mean, they couldn't find any evidence against Jesus, but they still crucified him.
41:06You see, I never let the suspicious minds and naysayers get under my skin.
41:15I just focused on spreading sunshine and giving people a lovely time.
41:23Hey, don't roll your eyes.
41:25I knew I was succeeding.
41:28Everywhere I travelled, and I travelled everywhere, people told me, they'd go, oh, there's Jimmy being Jimmy.
41:38Look at what he does for people.
41:40Now, Libby, tell me how you ended up in a wheelchair.
41:46I dived in the shallow end of a pool.
41:49Right.
41:49And you got more than a headache?
41:50I did.
41:52Now, you broke your back, you ended up paralysed, you've had six operations.
41:57But I've not given up hope of walking one day.
42:00Right, but before you came to Stoke Mandeville, you had given up.
42:03I had, Jimmy, and I never dreamt I'd meet you here.
42:06Well, the pleasure is all mine.
42:07The pleasure is all mine.
42:08Now, how would you find the staff here?
42:10Brilliant.
42:11Because I'm told the physios put you on the parallel bars every day, and they're kind, but they're quite strict.
42:17They are.
42:18Do they ever smack your bottom?
42:21I wouldn't feel it if they did.
42:22Oh, right, so you wouldn't mind?
42:23Probably not.
42:25Right, now, and have you got a boyfriend?
42:28We split up after the accident.
42:31Well, let's hope you find another.
42:32If anyone will have me.
42:33Oh, I'm sure someone will have you.
42:39Time to choose your record, Libby.
42:42What's it to be?
42:48What's your favourite?
43:00I'd like to hear Green Tambourine by the Lemon Piper's, please.
43:08Marvellous choice.
43:33Drop your silver in my tambourine
43:37You're the four men, build a pretty dream
43:42Give me pennies, I don't take anything
43:46Now listen while I play
43:50My green tambourine
43:56Watch the jingle jangle start to shine
44:01Relations of the music that is mine
44:05When you touch the coin, you hear it sing
44:09Now listen while I play
44:14My green tambourine
44:26Victor, my good friend
44:28Locking on for a shift.
44:29Where do you think Charles will want me?
44:30Casualty.
44:31Three RTAs in the last hour.
44:32Going down near now.
44:33All right, okay.
44:33I'll be on in a sec.
44:34I just want a quick favour off Beryl.
44:36Fair enough.
44:37What favour?
44:37Would you be so kind as to read this letter from me?
44:40See an optician?
44:41I keep meaning to.
44:42Too busy doing God's work.
44:47You?
44:47An OBE?
44:48Well, is that what it says?
44:50You know perfectly well it does.
44:52What do you reckon Charles will say to that?
44:54What do you mean?
44:55Well, I mean, he's never likely to get a letter like that, is he?
44:59So what?
45:01But you think, you know, sometimes that you could have done better.
45:03Than Charles?
45:05Better in what way?
45:06Well, you know.
45:08Some women like a fella who's a bit more lead in his mantle.
45:11Hey.
45:12Hey.
45:14I like a man who treats a woman with respect.
45:17Now, you might get away with that with some at nurses,
45:18or God knows I wish they wouldn't let you, but not me.
45:21You stuck-up bitch.
45:23Oh, Sav.
45:26Heard you were short-staffed.
45:27Oh, desperately.
45:28Thanks for coming in.
45:31You all right, love?
45:33Yeah, fine, thanks.
45:34What's this?
45:35Oh.
45:38Oh, damn me.
45:41OBE.
45:43Services to charity.
45:45They don't give those out in conflict package.
45:48Congratulations.
45:50Thanks, pal.
45:51Well done.
45:52Hey, Beryl.
45:54How is it that you must think so?
46:02I'm sorry if you thought I was short with him.
46:05Well, you know, it's a massive credit to him.
46:10It's just that you didn't want him here,
46:11and now you're praising him like the rest.
46:13Oh.
46:14Well, you have to think about what he's done here.
46:17I do.
46:18And I say to the nurses, don't let him do that.
46:22Well, it's just Jimmy being Jimmy.
46:26He's been like that since he went high to a grasshopper,
46:29full of himself.
46:31He bought the Beach Boys and bought it all this, isn't he?
46:34You know, he makes people laugh.
46:37He sits sick and dying.
46:41You know, I've seen people overwhelmed with gratitude.
46:45I know.
46:47And if that were enough to let me like him,
46:50I'd say it.
46:53I don't know.
46:57But I know you do.
47:12It's about to start, Mother.
47:14Come and sit down.
47:17Oh.
47:20And now to Yorkshire for a festive edition of Songs of Praise.
47:25Introduced by a very special presenter.
47:27The Harry Seacom.
47:29Good evening, one and all,
47:30from the church of St. John the Baptist in the wilderness.
47:33Oh, my goodness.
47:34Crag Vale.
47:35A wild and wonderful place in God's own country.
47:39In other words,
47:40doing Songs of Praise.
47:41The land of my birth.
47:42We have a wonderful show tonight,
47:44which reflects on those wonderful Christmas themes of faith,
47:49love, and family,
47:50which every single one of us love to celebrate.
47:53And celebrate tonight, we will.
47:55Whether you be a chimney sweep or a prince,
47:58a dairy maid or a duchess.
48:00Gather round the telly box and join me.
48:03Oh, my God.
48:03I'm so proud of you.
48:03James Saville, your host for what I am sure will be a wonderful fact.
48:07I was going to wait until they announced it on New Year's Day,
48:11but...
48:16James.
48:19Your son, James Saville, OBE.
48:24Oh, the Queen.
48:30Oh.
48:34Oh.
48:37Noel, Noel, Noel.
48:42Noel, Noel.
48:45Who is the Queen of the Queen?
48:53Noel, Noel, Noel.
48:59Noel, Noel, Noel.
49:04That, Daniel, was the happiest day of her life.
49:07And mine.
49:11By one.
49:13By one.
49:15And what was that?
49:17I'm coming to it.
49:26Oh!
49:27Oh!
49:29It's one of the first cars ever rode in one of these Rovers.
49:32Well, I thought it'd be a trip down memory lane, you see.
49:35Behold, Mother, my work.
49:39Who are they?
49:40Who are they?
49:41They are damaged people who deserve all the love and support we can give them.
49:47I don't understand.
49:49They're mental patients.
49:51From Broadwell?
49:52No, from the sister hospital, Rampton.
49:55And I decided to treat them all to a day out at the seaside.
50:00That's lovely, Jim.
50:02How you looking, Rhys?
50:03It's trying to be a good couple, eh?
50:15Yeah, I'm sorry. I just felt like I was getting somewhere.
50:18Felt like I was getting somewhere and, you know, I didn't want to leave.
50:22He's obviously, he's obviously lonely.
50:24He just wants an audience, really, to get things off his chest.
50:27I will. I've said I will.
50:29I'll be back tonight.
50:30Yeah.
50:31Promise.
50:48I sense Mrs. Wordsmith threatening burnt dinners in the doghouse.
50:53Ha.
50:55Not quite.
50:58Tell you, they're brain damaged, wives.
51:01Whereas the love of my life never gave me anything but happiness.
51:25You look more beautiful than ever.
51:40You're all mine now.
51:43I don't want to share you anymore.
51:47Promise.
51:48I won't do it anymore.
51:52I swear, I'm done with it.
51:58I meant it when I said that.
52:00You said what?
52:03When I promised her I wouldn't do any of that shit again.
52:12I swear, Jimmy.
52:15I swear.
52:26I swear.
52:27Let's go.
53:15Hello?
53:17It's Johnny.
53:19That lawyer has sent his report.
53:21And?
53:22We're going to have to tighten up audience supervision.
53:24No young girls wandering around the building.
53:26But he's concluded that instances of immorality are rare.
53:31No further action will be taken over the girl who committed suicide.
53:34He didn't consider the evidence to justify the allegations.
53:37It was like it was all in her imagination.
53:39A sad case blown out of proportion by the papers.
53:42So I'm in the clear.
53:44Well, I think the BBC do know what they've got with you.
53:46Hmm?
53:48Mr. J. Savile, OBE.
53:50Thank you, Choir Master.
54:30Oh, here he is.
54:32What have we got here, then, Peter?
54:34One for the fun palace, chef.
54:36Oh, thank you, Jimmy.
54:37I mean, she's made up, and she's got something she wants to ask you.
54:43And what might that be, young lady?
54:45Ask him.
54:47Can I be one of the girls on top of the pot?
54:50Well, not only will I make sure you're on the telly,
54:53I'll also buy it and move.
54:55How about that?
54:57First, I said you'd show her the amusements.
55:00Yeah, but, you know, not without the mum and dad's permission, eh?
55:03Of course, absolutely.
55:06Then how could I possibly refuse?
55:08Yeah, that's it, yeah.
55:10That way, young lady, lead on.
55:13See you later.
55:16Have fun.
55:17If Jimmy could make some of you, he'd help you.
55:20Oh, oh.
55:22He's so lonely.
55:29Thought we'd be walking.
55:31What?
55:32A princess like you?
55:33What?
55:33Never.
55:46Off we go.
55:48Go.
55:48Go.
55:49Go.
55:50Go.
55:51Go.
56:04Go.
56:09Go.
