04:03And then it wasn't quite clear when I played the recording.
04:08Don't worry, I've got a memory like an elephant.
04:09But it sounded like you'd said you'd never do that shit again.
04:19What could you have meant?
04:22No idea, because I've never said it.
04:25The machine wants fattling.
04:28It's fine with her.
04:53It's fine.
05:03Hello.
05:04He's had to call round.
05:07I did, didn't I?
05:09So, here we are.
05:11Right, well, I'm a bit busy at the moment, but, er, well, yeah, come in for a minute.
05:20Oh, it was next, Rick.
05:23Er, right.
05:29Good heavens.
05:30What a pigsty.
05:31Well, he's not here that much.
05:34Is this how you leave all the places you stay?
05:36Not that we ever know where you do stay, but to turn your mother's home into a squat?
05:43Quite right, Beryl.
05:44The drutters might be gone, but I know she's still up there, looking down,
05:49and she would expect the same standard of behaviour as when she was alive.
05:52I should think so.
05:54So, why did you want us round?
05:57I get letters every day, you know, people asking for help, you know, brain scanners,
06:02hostels for the homeless, day centres for the mentally handicapped,
06:05and it's all work I want to do, but I need help.
06:08What kind of help?
06:09Well, you know, admin accounts, all the stuff you're good at, and I'm not.
06:12You know, if you good people help me organise my life,
06:16then I can spend more time playing the good Samaritan,
06:18which I know is what the Duchess would want.
06:23Well, if it's for charity, I suppose we can hardly say no.
06:27PHONE RINGS
06:28One second.
06:38You're new specs, Mr Savile.
06:40I'm Susan.
06:42You rang and asked for them to be brought to your house?
06:45Yes, yes, I did.
06:47By me, especially.
06:48The manager said.
06:49Indeed, I did.
06:51So, entranced was I, um,
06:54by your charms when you were in that room
06:56and shone that little torch into my eyes.
06:57It's called an ophthalmoscope, Mr Savile.
07:00Ophthalmoscope, right.
07:01Got a little shiver down my spine just hearing you say that.
07:03And call me Jimmy, Susan.
07:07Um, anyway, I'm all out of milk,
07:11and could you move to the corner shop,
07:13just down the road on the right,
07:15and then come back and get the goggles?
07:17Oh, of course.
07:20Good girl.
07:21I've seen a bit.
07:29Otter off, Hunter.
07:31You don't have to start straight away.
07:33That's good, because we can't.
07:35You'd be my little guardian angels.
07:37I won't go that far.
07:38But if we can help you help others, Sav,
07:41then we will.
07:42Right.
07:43Great, that's it.
07:46Well, thank you.
07:53Okay.
07:55All right.
08:22Well, not quite enough for a tin bath
08:24for us both to bathe in,
08:25but that'll do for a brew.
08:27Enter Jimmy Savile HQ.
08:29Don't mind the mess.
08:30The cleaners have let me down.
08:31Kitchen's best.
08:32Just through there.
08:41After your mother's death,
08:43apart from stopping,
08:44the rumours grew.
08:45We're back on rumours again.
08:46About your behaviour with girls.
08:49What are you doing?
08:51Stop!
08:51Just do what the women do.
08:53What are you a virgin?
08:53Get off!
08:54It's what I call S.O.S.
08:57Same old shit.
08:59Hey, can you find the doors locked?
09:00The doors locked.
09:01Let me out!
09:02Yeah?
09:02I'll tell the police!
09:03No!
09:03Sit down!
09:05Gossip.
09:06Blooms full of hot air.
09:08Prick them and there's an out there.
09:10Which is why I was always able to make them disappear.
09:14Now,
09:17that didn't happen.
09:21What?
09:22Whatever you may have thought just happened.
09:25Didn't happen.
09:29Have you heard of Savile's Travels?
09:32Of course I have.
09:34Right, well, as it happens,
09:35I'm doing a recording of one from Leeds today.
09:41And I'd like you to do a little interview with me
09:44and then you can go.
09:46But the rumours didn't go away, did they?
09:50Only in the minds of a few naysayers and killjoys.
09:54I was on an upward trajectory.
09:56Becoming an increasingly powerful figure in broadcasting.
09:59Not powerful.
10:00Not powerful.
10:01Trusted and respected.
10:03Nobody who mattered believed them rumours.
10:06Otherwise,
10:06why would the BBC have offered me the show I did next?
10:11Here I am in the city of my birth.
10:14Talking to the lovely Susan.
10:16Susan, tell me,
10:17what do you do for the job?
10:19Training up tundress.
10:21Really?
10:22Brains as well as beauty?
10:24I...
10:25I wouldn't say that.
10:26And tell me,
10:28what kind of hobbies outside work do?
10:30What do you enjoy doing?
10:32Well,
10:33I like baking cakes.
10:35Cool.
10:36One day you'll make a lovely wife
10:37for some lucky young man.
10:40What's so brilliant
10:41is you can hear the girl's nervous,
10:43but with that
10:44avuncular manner,
10:45you soon win her trust.
10:46No one doubts Jimmy's got away with young people.
10:48Which brings us to the purpose of this meeting.
10:50Roger and I have been developing a new show.
10:54Where Top of the Pops was aimed at teens,
10:57kids will be the key to this.
10:58Simple premise.
11:00Basically,
11:01we ask the public to write in
11:03asking us to make a wish
11:04come true for either themselves
11:06or someone they know.
11:08Might be a boy wanting to fly a helicopter
11:10or a girl wanting to sing a duet
11:12with her favourite pop star.
11:14Paraplegic wanting to scale Ben Nevis
11:16in a wheelchair.
11:17Exactly, exactly.
11:18You've got it.
11:19So, our idea would be
11:20to have the presenter sat there
11:21in a special chair.
11:23Wave the magic wand.
11:25Got it.
11:25So,
11:26when do I start?
11:27Well, job's not necessarily yours, Jimmy.
11:30Do you mind me asking
11:31who else is in the running?
11:32Um,
11:34Monty Modlin.
11:35Oh,
11:35oh dear old Monty.
11:37And he's very interested in the job
11:38and he's already suggested a super title.
11:40Monty'll Fix It.
11:42Perfect.
11:43If it was being presented
11:44by Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery
11:46of Allemane.
11:47Jimmy'll Fix It does have quite a ring too.
11:50Still wrong.
11:51What would you suggest?
11:53Jim'll Fix It.
11:54One syllable shorter.
11:55Much catchier.
11:57Jim'll Fix It.
11:58You're right.
12:00Jim sounds like your favourite uncle.
12:02You don't have kids, do you?
12:04I don't.
12:05Because where there are kids,
12:06there's usually a wife
12:07and where there's a wife,
12:08there's strife.
12:10You do like children.
12:11Love them.
12:12Love them.
12:12I can give them a squeeze
12:13and hand them back.
12:14Don't forget though,
12:15in my various voluntary roles,
12:17I brought a great deal of sunshine
12:18into the lives of children.
12:20Indeed.
12:20Indeed.
12:23Give us a minute,
12:23will you, Roger?
12:24Yeah.
12:32Look, I've no doubt
12:33you're the best man for the job, Jimmy.
12:35I have no doubt either, King Billy,
12:37given that my success
12:38is the reason you're sitting in that chair.
12:40Why wouldn't you put me
12:40in the Fix It chair?
12:44There's a matter
12:44I need to raise first.
12:46I'll save your blushes
12:47by doing it for you.
12:48The matter of the young lady
12:49committed suicide.
12:50Of course.
12:52There was an investigation.
12:54And very impressed I was
12:55by the diligence
12:56with which my loaded friend
12:58carried out,
12:58even though I knew
12:59I would be exonerated.
13:01I do need an absolute assurance
13:03from you
13:04that you have no skeletons
13:05hiding in the closet.
13:06I swear
13:07on my mother's grave.
13:16Come in.
13:25Anna.
13:27I just wanted to let you know...
13:29I've heard.
13:29You've given it to Savile.
13:31Look,
13:32I know you don't like him.
13:34He's a rude,
13:35arrogant man.
13:37There are women
13:38in this building
13:39who make sure
13:40they are never alone with him.
13:43None of them
13:43have told me that.
13:44Oh, come on.
13:46You must have heard
13:47the rumours.
13:48About what?
13:49His behaviour
13:50with teenage girls.
13:52I haven't heard
13:53any rumours.
13:54Douglas Muggeridge
13:55has heard them.
13:56And if Radio 1
13:57has heard them,
13:58why haven't you?
13:58Did Douglas
13:59investigate these rumours?
14:00Yes.
14:01Admittedly,
14:02nothing conclusive
14:03was found.
14:04There you are.
14:05But what about
14:05the girl
14:06who committed suicide?
14:08All investigated
14:09by the lawyer.
14:11And do you
14:12consider that
14:13to be the end
14:14of the matter?
14:15He found no evidence
14:17to justify the allegations.
14:19The investigation
14:20looked right across
14:21the BBC
14:22and he did say
14:23that such
14:24is the labyrinthine
14:25nature of TV centre
14:26and the dressing room area
14:27that it was
14:28inevitable.
14:29Some immoral behaviour
14:30would occur.
14:31And that's
14:32supposed to be
14:32an excuse.
14:33That immoral behaviour
14:35is ultimately
14:36your responsibility,
14:38Bill.
14:38Which is why
14:39I've taken steps
14:39to deal with it.
14:40Admission to TV centre
14:41is now strictly
14:43ticket only.
14:44There's now much
14:45greater vigilance
14:46to keep out
14:47under-16s.
14:48Does that include
14:48girls who climb over walls
14:50to get into the back
14:51of the building?
14:52And the girls
14:53in the BBC club
14:54plied with drinks
14:55by pop stars
14:56and staff
14:57who we employ.
14:59Entrance to the BBC club
15:00has been tightened up.
15:02Anna, I'm doing my best
15:04but I can't work miracles.
15:06And anyway,
15:07this show's going to be
15:08centred on kids
15:08not teens.
15:10They'll be working
15:10as a teen
15:11making sure
15:12they're properly
15:12looked after.
15:13You can't possibly
15:14believe this man
15:15has any real
15:16empathy with children.
15:18All I know
15:19is Jimmy Savile
15:20is a brilliant talent
15:21and we have to
15:22look after the talent.
15:23And all I know
15:24is a man like that
15:26has no place
15:27working at the BBC.
15:29That's my decision, Anna.
15:31Not yours.
15:34Mr. Corwin?
15:35Hello.
15:36Ten.
15:37Nine.
15:37Eight.
15:39Seven.
15:40Six.
15:41Five.
15:42Four.
15:42Three.
15:51Six.
15:51Six.
15:52Six.
15:53Six.
15:54Six.
15:55Six.
15:55Good evening,
15:56one and all
15:57and welcome to
15:58the very first edition
16:00of Jim'll Fix It,
16:02a brand new show
16:03where yours truly
16:04makes dreams come true.
16:06It's a tough job
16:07but someone's got to do it.
16:09Tonight, we have a young boy
16:11who wants to swim
16:11with dolphins
16:12and last but not least,
16:14three teenage gals
16:15who are desperate
16:16to meet the Osmonds.
16:18Suddenly,
16:19it all made sense.
16:21Everything I'd done before
16:22had been preparing me
16:23to sitting in that throne
16:25and seeing kiddies' faces
16:26light up
16:27as I made the dreams
16:28come true.
16:29It wasn't my impression
16:30when I attended
16:31a recording age nine
16:32seeing all the production crew
16:33urging kids to grin
16:35when they went up to see me.
16:36They didn't need any urging.
16:39And when you went on camera,
16:40you just seemed sort of
16:41distant and cold.
16:43It's called professionalism.
16:44I just felt like
16:45I was seeing another side to you.
16:46You've not been listening,
16:47have you?
16:47There's only one side to me
16:49and he's talking to you now
16:50and he's thinking to himself,
16:52I hope I didn't misjudge
16:53Dr. Wordsmith.
16:54I hope he's not like
16:55some of his fellow scribes
16:56always wanting to lift
16:57the toilet lid
16:58to see what's lurking
16:59in the pan
17:00because without the case,
17:01I might tell him
17:02to sling his up.
17:03I just want this book
17:04to paint a rounded portrait.
17:05Then let's have no more talk
17:07of kiddies being urged to grin.
17:09I brought joy
17:11into innocent lives.
17:12That's all.
17:15Oh, minibus.
17:17Yes.
17:18Hang on, hang on,
17:19come back.
17:20They're not going to go
17:20without you, are they?
17:22Can't be a scruff
17:23if you're going on the telly
17:23to meet Jimmy Savile.
17:25Right.
17:29Perfect.
17:30Go on.
17:30Bye.
17:31Oh, Kevin, Kevin,
17:33hang on.
17:33The tie.
17:34Right, remember,
17:35make sure you give this
17:36to a grown-up
17:37to give to Jimmy.
17:39Bye.
17:40Bye.
17:41Have fun.
17:52Now, all that remains
17:53is for me to give you
17:54lovely boys
17:55your Jim Will Fix It badge,
17:56but there's quite a few of you,
17:58so I can't give you all
18:00one each.
18:01Instead, I've had a ginormous one
18:03made for all of you.
18:05So if you all stand up here now
18:06and they...
18:07Now, you just steady that
18:09young men
18:09and pass that ribbon
18:11down that way.
18:11Pass it around your shoulder.
18:13That's a good lad.
18:14Same.
18:14Put it around your shoulders
18:15and then come for...
18:17Oh, there's a young one there.
18:18There we go.
18:18That's the one.
18:19There.
18:20There it is.
18:21So, that's all
18:22for tonight.
18:24Don't forget to tune in
18:25to Jimmy Will Fix It.
18:26Same time next week
18:27to make more dreams
18:28come true.
18:31You're a matter
18:32So when I started it
18:34Nothing matters
18:35and now you're a part of it
18:38Now you've done it
18:39Jimmy speaks before you
18:42Well done, everyone.
18:43Great.
18:44There's some biscuits there.
18:45Come on, do help yourself.
19:02Now then, now then
19:03young man
19:05I believe
19:06this came from you
19:08Yeah
19:09Well, what a splendid surprise
19:12I've got a surprise for you
19:13I never gave a general fix-it badge
19:15to Earl Pack
19:17But
19:18what if I give you
19:20your very own
19:22Oh, yeah
19:23Yeah, please
19:24Yeah
19:25Well, you follow me
19:26You follow me
19:59Excited?
20:01Well, if you want that badge, I want you to do just one more thing.
20:47I don't know.
20:48It's our little secret, you know, it's getting one more upset, doesn't it?
20:52Oh, there he is.
20:54I've been looking for you, you little rascal.
20:56Kevin, you had us been for a minute.
20:59All I bonded off, got lost in the woods.
21:02Luckily Uncle Jim found him before the big bad bull.
21:11Hi! How'd it go?
21:14Great.
21:14Well, come on, sit down. Tell me about it.
21:18Did he like the tie? Of course he liked the tie.
21:23Look at that.
21:26Wow, that's amazing.
21:45Bless me, Father. It is six months since my last confession.
21:50And what sins do you want to confess?
21:54Selfishness.
21:58What was this selfish act?
22:00There's a calf in Oakley called the Tradesman's, and the owner wouldn't let me pay.
22:09And I, er...
22:11I didn't try to.
22:14Even though Double Egg and Chips is only a pound, and I knew he was skint.
22:22So, er, why do you think you did it?
22:27Er, childhood.
22:29Parents struggled to put food on the table.
22:33So this father giving away three egg and chips, do you think he got pleasure out of it?
22:40No question, Father.
22:42And you didn't like to take away that pleasure?
22:45I know myself how much pleasure I get from doing things for other people.
22:51This is perhaps not a great sin.
22:56Anything else?
23:00Not for myself, Father.
23:03But, um...
23:06I have a pal who struggles with the sins of the flesh.
23:13And he wanted some advice.
23:15Is this friend a Catholic?
23:17He is.
23:19But...
23:20I think he just wanted to get things straight in his mind.
23:24What things, exactly?
23:28Well, he's a single man.
23:31But he sometimes gets tempted.
23:34Oh, so a Saint Paul...
23:37I mean, temptation isn't of itself necessarily a sin.
23:42What if he gives in to it?
23:45How?
23:47Well, then...
23:50Forcing himself upon someone.
23:54A young person.
23:58A child, even.
24:05That would be a mortal sin.
24:10Opposing he did lots of good things to try and make up for it.
24:17Would there still be a chance he could go to heaven?
24:26The catechism is clear.
24:29Any sin can be forgiven.
24:34If he made a confession.
24:36To kill him.
24:40But...
24:43You must...
24:44Urge him,
24:47If he has done anything like you have described,
24:51To give himself up to the authorities.
25:02I want to make sure he understands that father.
25:21Bloody priceless, hey Sam.
25:27Dream maker to the nation. King Jimmy.
25:32I'd settle for sir.
25:34They wouldn't be able to touch you then, would they?
25:35I mean, I know you've got other ways of killing stories,
25:38but who put a knight in the realm in court?
25:42It's not the only reason I want it.
25:45Power and the glory to who, eh?
25:47I never thought I'd get this far, so...
25:51Why not see if I can get all the way to the fucking top?
25:54No, I know.
25:55I know you've done it.
25:59Jim has fixed it for you.
26:02And you, and you.
26:04There must be something that you always want to do.
26:08The one thing that you always wanted to.
26:12Now you've done it.
26:13Jim has fixed it for you.
26:16And you, and you, and you, and you.
26:25Good heavens, Jimmy Savile.
26:28Mom, at your service.
26:30I heard the Tories were in sound.
26:31I came to pay my humble respects.
26:34May I?
26:35Indeed you may.
26:37Oh, goodness.
26:38I do believe I may have kissed the hand of a future prime minister.
26:42Well, we hope so.
26:43I didn't know you lived in Scarborough, Jim.
26:45I have many homes, none closer to my heart.
26:48Sea, sand, and ice cream par excellence
26:51as served by my very good friend the mayor.
26:53You must draw one.
26:54Well, I shall.
26:55But can I just say how much I love Jim Will Fix It.
26:59Dennis and I are huge fans.
27:01Last week, madam, we'll get you everywhere.
27:03And I told you do an awful lot for charity.
27:06A call for help.
27:07I'm there.
27:08Well, I wish you well in your work.
27:11And I in yours.
27:12But may I make a cheeky request?
27:14Oh, I'd like a cheeky request.
27:16I sometimes get requests from kiddies wanting me to fix it
27:20for them to meet the prime minister.
27:22Do you think that might be possible?
27:24Of course.
27:25But you must first fix it for me to be a PM.
27:28Then I shall work my magic powers.
27:30Well, it was lovely to meet you.
27:34Come on.
27:36Come on.
27:36Well, you know, we just need to meet you.
27:51The wind ripped the roof off.
27:53The rain did the rest.
27:55Biblical.
27:57just coming into downing street now here comes the prime ministerial rover bearing now mrs thatcher
28:05i would just like to remember some words of saint francis of assisi which i think are really just
28:12particularly apt at the moment where there is discord may we bring harmony where there is
28:20error may we bring truth where there is doubt may we bring faith and where there is despair may we
28:27bring hope
28:41we're all ready for you mr sally splendid these lead up
28:52so
29:00so
29:03so
29:04so
30:05you're aware they've asked me to head of a campaign to have it completely rebuilt jolly good for you
30:11the architects have come up with an estimate of 10 million i was hoping the government might chip in
30:18you do realize the labor government left this country's finances in a terrible state
30:24i warned mr callan that the pot would be empty the way he was carrying on he let himself be
30:30bullied by the unions ran up a mountain of debt strikes rubbish on the streets a terrible mess no
30:37question and i'm afraid some of the blame rests with mr heath when he capitulated to the miners
30:44well now if you show a minor weakness he will have you for breakfast and i should know i was
30:48one
30:49really
30:51hearts of lions but give them an inch to the tech a yard

30:57well uh humble origins
30:59uh and we know
31:01money doesn't grow on trees
31:03so i hope you'll understand why my government can't help financially
31:07and i do think it's vital
31:10people learn to help themselves
31:12which is why i'm determined to raise this money by hook or by crook
31:16then i'll strike a bargain with you jimmy
31:18if you did somehow raise the funds for the building
31:22i'll try and find the money to run it

33:49Father asked me to do the collection plate.
33:58Through your goodness, we have this bread to offer,
34:02which earth had given and human hands have made.
34:05It will become for us the bread of life.
34:12By the mystery of this water and wine,
34:15may we come to share in the divinity of Christ,
34:19who humbled himself to share in our humanity.
34:24Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation.
34:27Through your goodness, we have this wine to offer,
34:31fruit of the vine and work of human hands,
34:34it will become our spiritual ring.
34:38Actually, thank God for never.
35:15I want to ask you a question.
35:16I want to ask you about the knighthood.
35:18Never courted, never sought.
35:21Well, I find that hard to believe.
35:24I take it you're not a religious man, Dr Wordsmith?
35:28No.
35:29Well, I think that's why we've probably got this ulterior motive problem.
35:34Jesus said it's more blessed to give than to receive.
35:37That's all I did.
35:38Come on, Jimmy. I've been reading about this.
35:41I've been thinking about it.
35:42Yeah, I mean, St Matthew said,
35:45give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven.
35:48Now, doesn't that imply that charity is never purely selfless,
35:52that the giver will always get something out of it?
35:54And you want that something to be sinister.
35:57Surely you can see why I'm pressing the point that he...
35:59As I said to my good friend, Pope John Paul II...
36:03Yeah.
36:03Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others
36:05can't keep it from their own.
36:07And he said, spot on, Jimmy.
36:09The more happy I made other people, the happier I was.
36:21Sam?
36:22Are you all right?
36:27What's all this?
36:29Your periods haven't started, have they?
36:33Uh...
36:34No.
36:36And why?
36:40Sam, why?
36:43To try and stop him.
36:45Getting in.
36:49Oh.
36:51You poor thing.
36:59Look.
37:00Whatever was happening to you at home,
37:02it can't happen here, can it?
37:05You're safe with us in hospital, aren't you?
37:07You couldn't be safer.
37:13Sam?
37:15What is it, hmm?
37:18Is there something else?
37:31So, come on.
37:32Cheer up.
37:34Give me those.
37:36Why don't you go to the day room and see what's on the telly?
37:40Can't.
37:40I've got chapel.
37:43The priest expects me.
37:45Well, you go to chapel then.
37:47Stop worrying.
37:51Lord, we pray for those who are hungry,
37:54and for all those charities who work to alleviate hunger and poverty,
37:58both here at home and across the world.
38:00Lord, hear us.
38:02Lord, graciously hear us.
38:04We pray for children and young people everywhere,
38:07especially those who are in care or otherwise vulnerable.
38:11Lord, graciously hear us.
38:14Lord, help us to be understanding and forgiving of all those we encounter.
38:19Lord, hear us.
38:21Lord, graciously hear us.
38:25Lord, graciously tell us about the
38:58Oh, my God.
39:23Oh, my God.
40:10Merry Christmas, Jimmy.
40:11Same to you, Jeeves.
40:13Pop those under the tree, if you're so kind.
40:16You'll find her in the kitchen.
40:21Merry Christmas, one and all.
40:22Jimmy, welcome.
40:24Merry Christmas.
40:25Now, I know you don't touch alcohol, so this is orange juice.
40:31Good health, ma'am.
40:33Please don't mad me, Jimmy.
40:34I'm not royalty.
40:35Well, you are to me.
40:36And I'm more than happy to provide some fun
40:39at the court of Queen Maggie.
40:41Flattery will get you everywhere.
40:43But do you know what?
40:43I think that every Maggie needs a Jimmy.
40:46Quite right.
40:48This is Robert Armstrong, my cabinet secretary.
40:51She's the man in my life who makes everything possible.
40:55Or impossible.
40:56I think she's doing the wrong thing.
40:57Well, season's greeting's good, sir.
40:59And you?
41:00Robert's only popped in for a sherry.
41:03Heading off to see my family, Shorten.
41:05Dennis has taken the other guests for a stroll.
41:09May I ask who they are?
41:11My speechwriter, Ronnie Miller, and three others,
41:14who are bachelors like yourself, Jimmy.
41:16I hate to think of you poor chap spending Christmas alone.
41:20Deeply touched.
41:21Anyway, it gives us a chance to catch up.
41:23It's been such a busy year.
41:25What with the Pope's visit...
41:27Oh, yes, well, I acted as his native guide in Yorkshire.
41:30It was a great morale booster.
41:33As was the Falklands.
41:35It wasn't a decision I took lightly, but it had to be done.
41:40No question.
41:41And when people say to me,
41:43what about those 300 men who died when we sank the Belgrano?
41:47I say, Maggie had no choice.
41:53But tell me about Stoke Mandeville.
41:56I'm hearing amazing things about the appeal.
41:59Amazing indeed.
42:01Another half a million, and we're there.
42:02Building work is already underway.
42:05Extraordinary.
42:07Well, I'm going to find that half a million for you.
42:10Oh, my word.
42:12And, as promised, the money to run it.
42:15Well, what a Christmas present.
42:17And, by the way, I'm sure your astonishing personal contribution
42:21will be recognized.
42:23No, I don't do it for the glory.
42:25But it's exactly that selfless public service
42:28that our honours system is for.
42:30Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to find those men.
42:42Well, you've got an OBE, haven't you?
42:45I'm proud of it.
42:51Okay, guys, I'm sitting down here like this.
42:53Oh!
42:54Nine, six, seven, six, five, four, three.
42:59Prime Minister Karl is approaching.
43:01Thank you very much.
43:03Glad to serve you very much.
43:06With all our fingers crossed,
43:08we're helping the British public respond a little bit.
43:11One letter, and now you're a part of it.
43:14Now you've done it.
43:16Tim has fixed it for you, and you, and you.
43:21There must be something that you always want to do.
43:25The one thing that you always want to do.
43:29Now you've done it.
43:31Tim has fixed it for you, and you, and you.
43:38I hope I hope I won't be my boyfriend.
43:41Get back for you!
43:42Back on all.

44:47any Tom Dick or Harry in here you know see that from the Pope Knight of St.
44:55Columbus that's why I got in previous members include Darwin Dickens
45:05Disraeli Duke of Wellington who parked his ass in in this very spot I sometimes
45:13like to think of the Duchess up there looking down on me thinking what an
45:18extraordinary journey my little boy made indeed you were talking last time about
45:24not seeking the knighthood which was perhaps just as well because there was a
45:29time when the possibility was slipping by wasn't there please elaborate well you'd
45:35rebuilt Stoke Mandeville found extraordinary national acclaim but by the late 80s
45:40there was still no letter from the Honours Committee and your career was on the
45:45slide used to me that's the word Smith please elaborate I was hoping you'd do that
45:51I can't because it wasn't
46:01tonight I'm joined by a showbiz legend the man who's been spinning records for over 25 years
46:06Jimmy Savile
46:11how would you react as a Roman Catholic yes to if one of your partners became
46:21yeah don't you believe you you put God in somewhat of a dilemma yes there's Jimmy Savile
46:25the good man that give money to charity that helps young children and there's Jimmy Savile
46:30who flies in the face of everything that's written in the New Testament about
46:33sexual promiscuity
46:34swats
46:48well then then you'll show me the debit side and I'll say hang about and I'll show him
46:51the credit side and it does that mean anything and if he said that means no
47:05I don't care how I come across all right
47:16in one of your tabloid articles you describe having sex in your passion wagon how do you
47:21reconcile that with your Roman Catholic faith
47:25well I thought this was going to be a bit of fun but then
47:30that's his dirty
47:32it's work
47:3420 years ago I would have knocked him about
47:36what have you got for me
47:40it's him
47:41Robert Armstrong that's his cabinet secretary
47:44it seems she's put you up for her knighthood three times
47:48he's blocked it each time
47:49he's a cunt
47:50I knew he didn't like me but he's got a happy knighthood
47:53I can't have one
47:55no reason but he's got Maggie's ear
47:57wants to save her embarrassment
48:01about what?
48:02seems to be to do with stuff you've said and written over the years
48:06what stuff?
48:07about encounters with young women of which you've claimed to have many
48:11he once spoke of being feared in every girl's school in Britain
48:15that was a fucking joke
48:17well Armstrong didn't find it funny
48:19I've just published this
48:22advice for young people on how to avoid perverts
48:25I help children
48:27I want that nicer
48:30well Thatcher's the only way to that
48:31Sal
48:35have you got anything for me?
48:39wouldn't mind a bacon roll as it happens
48:43have the rest of that
48:46they put an extra ration on

49:05well thank goodness
49:06I've been trying to find you
49:07and so has someone else
49:09greetings ma'am
49:10Jimmy dear
49:12how are you?
49:13fighting fit ma'am
49:14good
49:14because I'm calling to ask for help
49:18anything at all
49:19I'm at your service
49:20it's Broadmoor
49:22the place is in chaos
49:23management have lost control
49:25I'm told the prison officers union
49:28are practically running the place
49:29and the patients think that
49:31every day is April Fool's Day
49:34none of this is news to me
49:36I've seen many things
49:37as entertainment's officer
49:38that concern me
49:40well that makes me even more sure
49:42that we're doing the right thing
49:44and what's that?
49:45the management and board
49:46have been suspended
49:47the Department of Health
49:49is setting up a task force
49:51and they feel sure
49:53that with that can-do attitude
49:55and Yorkshire common sense
49:57you can help turn the place round
50:00it will be an honour
50:02and a privilege
50:03thank you so much Jimmy
50:05I won't forget this
50:11Robert
50:11my advice remains the same
50:13Prime Minister
50:15questions and rumours about the man persist
50:17but you never explain what those questions or rumours are
50:21surely if there was anything in them
50:23the BBC
50:24Stoke Mandeville
50:25and others would have taken action
50:28hmm
50:29unless like us
50:30they had
50:30more pressing things to deal with
50:34I'm getting sick and tired of this Robert
50:38earlier today
50:39earlier today
50:39Health Secretary Edwina Curry
50:41arrived at 10 Downing Street
50:42to discuss the situation at Broadmoor
50:44with cabinet colleagues
50:46if anybody was so basically unhappy here
50:50that they didn't like it
50:52then they should hand their notice in and leave
50:54then they should hand their notice in and leave
50:56the gloves are coming off
50:57what do you mean?
50:59I didn't get sent here by the Prime Minister just to fuck about
51:02that's all you've ever done before are you?
51:04what do you mean?
51:05inviting press in to photograph you with Ripper and Ronnie Cray
51:08that's to show the public the work we do here at Broadmoor
51:11hmm
51:13not because you're addicted to publicity and love nothing more than blowing smoke up your own arse
51:17you see that's the sort of attitude that's got to change
51:20how are you going to do that Jimmy?
51:22Dr Savile to you
51:23you're not a proper doctor
51:25I've completed an initial assessment and I've come to the conclusion
51:29you lot
51:30I've been fiddling your expenses
51:32letting relatives use accommodation designated for staff only
51:35and generally taking the piss
51:37bollocks
51:39this place has been underfunded and understaffed for years
51:43and now they've put a lunatic in charge
51:46who for reasons only known to himself
51:48seems to spend most of his time hanging around women's block
51:51you are an arsehole pal
51:54but what you'll find is
51:56I'm an even bigger one
51:58I was regularly in touch with Maggie
52:00with progress reports
52:02she was delighted
52:05and maybe she wasn't paying proper attention though
52:10Jim fixes it for 60 psychos to go free
52:13news of the world
52:14not true
52:15not true
52:16and I sued them
52:17you once gave a press conference
52:19where you said you wanted male and female patients to mix
52:23so and I quote
52:25they can fall in love
52:26isn't that a pretty eccentric approach to mental illness
52:30pure common sense Dr Wordsman
52:34you have some other interesting views
52:37you once said of psychopaths
52:41there's no point asking them what they did on that dark night
52:43because it wasn't them that did it
52:45it was someone using their body
52:47what on earth do you mean by that
52:49I sense the toilet lid being lifted
52:52perhaps it's time I looked under yours Dr Wordsmith
52:55what do you mean
52:56you're having trouble with Mrs Wordsmith aren't you
53:00if you must know I have split up with my girlfriend
53:03yes
53:03now can we please move on
53:05I'm looking at a man in turmoil
53:08whereas you
53:09are looking at a man who's always been at ease with himself
53:22all I did was put a hand on some spotty who's arse
53:26the little twat goes home tells his dad I'd propositioned him
53:29dad takes the lad to the police
53:31the next thing I know the police are at the door
53:35I don't know what else might come out
53:41if the cops are coming after me
53:43they're nowhere close
53:45they might come after you
53:46you won't say out about me will you
53:49no I wouldn't have a swear
53:52but you're always saying
53:54you've got friends in the police
53:56I wonder could you put in a word
53:59I can't Peter I can't
54:01it'll only make things worse
54:03you best be on your way mate
54:21okay
54:22hi Maury
54:23oh hello Jimmy
54:25hi guys and girls
54:26can you help blind me
54:28there you are
54:29nice up

54:31what are you doing there
54:32best cotton chips in town you once told us
54:35We're about to own her, if you fancy it.
54:36Yeah, no, I mean, what are you doing in Scarborough?
54:39We're house-upting.
54:41Here, why?
54:43Tell him, Charles.
54:45Well, we've, er, we've news for yourself.
54:48I'm retiring.
54:50What do you mean?
54:51He's retiring.
54:53After years of hard graft, he deserves a rest,
54:55and we've always fancied living in Scarborough.
54:58Fucking hell.
54:59Hey, language.
55:02Can't have you here.
55:03Who's going to look after stuff for me and leave?
55:04You can still manage your life.
55:06Organise your fundraising in North.
55:08I don't want you in Scarborough.
55:10Why not?
55:11Because I come here to relax.
55:15I don't know what you get up to here,
55:17or in any of the other places you spend your time,
55:20not to mention where you park that van up.
55:22Why are you so concerned to keep everything separate?
55:25It's to be on, Beryl.
55:26No, it needs saying.
55:27Why all the secrecy?
55:30Anyway, like it or not, we're moving here.
55:33We've just put an offering on a lovely little place.
55:38You see now, Charles, why I never got married?
55:45Let me guess.
55:47You're knocking on the door of middle age,
55:48you split up with Mrs. Wordsmith,
55:50and you're living out of cardboard boxes.
55:51This is really boring.
55:54I've told you I'm going through a tough time,
55:56and that's all you need to know.
55:57Well, you want to know everything about my life.
55:59I thought that's what we agreed.
56:01We agreed.
56:01Nothing, pal.
56:03Let's ever see how it goes.
56:04When it's over,
56:06you can sling your hook.
56:08What do you mean?
56:09To paraphrase what the Tories said to Maggie,
56:12when her sign was up,
56:13you can fuck off.
56:35Run from me, Jimmy.
56:43You might be able to hide forever.
57:08A few moments ago,
57:09Mrs. Thatcher's government
57:10won an overwhelming vote of confidence
57:12in the Commons.
57:13But for the Prime Minister
57:15of the last 11 years,
57:16it was a pyrrhic victory.
57:18Tonight, the key to 10 Downing Street
57:20lies in the hands of her party.
57:22She led them to victory three times,
57:24then they turned on her.
57:27Ladies and gentlemen,
57:29we're leaving Downing Street
57:30for the last time
57:32after 11 and a half wonderful years,
57:35and we're very happy
57:36to relieve the United Kingdom
57:39in a really, very much better state
57:42and then we came here
57:43in a really a half years ago.
57:45But then the Iron Lady's composure
57:47almost broke.
57:48Watch her face
57:49as she reaches her car.
58:04And the deeper things
58:04and so we're getting down.
58:05Let's see.
58:05All right.
58:20We're gonna have time for a great day.
58:20to do with a good day.
58:20We're gonna have time for this
