01:00But representing them all in a special way are those for which he is most well known.
01:06Stoke Mandeville Hospital leads General Infirmary and Broadmoor to name but a tiny few.
01:18Today, Jimmy lies at the front of this cathedral, where in former years he had remained discreetly hidden at the
01:27back
01:28in order not to disturb people's prayers or distract their attention from what was taking place at this altar.
01:52When I heard it died, you know what, I think I was actually pleased that that horrible specimen was dead.
01:59But then on the other hand, I also thought, he's got away with it.
02:04It was good riddance, but it's also that he got away with something that was appalling.
02:15I feel that, you know, as old as I am now, I would have danced on his grave.
02:24He identified the people and he picked and he chose, like any paedophile, the grooms, his captive audience.
02:31And I think that really is where he got his buzz from.
02:35And for a Roman Catholic to be doing that in sight of God's eyes, he must have felt empowered.
02:42And that that was okay.
02:43If you can do that in front of God, that's okay.
02:45He groomed the whole nation.
03:16I don't know.
03:17I don't know.
03:43Now then, Dr. Wordsmith, you tell me exactly what it is you want, and I'll see if I can help
03:48you.
03:51I want to tell the story of your life.
04:00Why would you want to do that?
04:02As I said, Nicole, you're a very famous and intriguing man.
04:08I'm also a very boring man.
04:12There's no hidden depths to me, no secrets.
04:15What you see with me is what you get.
04:19Well, I can't just believe that.
04:22To write this book, I need to know about the man behind the image.
04:25Don't have an image. There's only one Jimmy Savile and you're looking at him,
04:28so I don't know how you think you're going to write the kind of book you have in mind.
04:33Then why let me come all this way if you don't want to do this?
04:35I'm not saying there isn't a story. There is.
04:39And although I'm still in rude health, as a gentleman of a certain age,
04:43who occasionally feels the hand of the big phone on his shoulder,
04:47perhaps now is the time to tell all.
04:49But why should I tell also you, a Johnny from London, whom I've never set eyes on before?
04:58Well, I've set eyes on you.
05:00When?
05:01As a kid, the audience at Jim will fix it.
05:05I was a massive fan.
05:07You were millions more.
05:08And I've followed your career ever since, so you could call it an absolute obsession.
05:16I really do want to write this book, Jimmy.
05:19I can see that.
05:20And since you bought me this excellent snout, rolled on the thighs of Cuban maidens,
05:26then why don't we give it a go?
05:29But it has to be the truth or there's no point.
05:31I know no other way.
05:33And I can ask anything, no go areas.
05:35Ask away. I'm ready to tell all.
05:38Where do you want to start?
05:40At the beginning, your childhood.
05:42Didn't have one.
05:43Next question.
06:04I suppose you want to hear the story of my overnight success.
06:08Hey, Daniel.
06:09Well, my overnight success took 20 years.
06:14Achieved by hard work and following the guiding light of the Duchess,
06:19who brought me up in the Catholic faith.
06:22Are you still practicing?
06:24Do you still go to confession and mass?
06:27That's a private matter between me and the big fella.
06:30Don't think you'll find any great secret that'll be the key to my life,
06:34my probing that area.
06:36If you think that, you can think again.
06:37Just trying to understand what makes Jimmy Savile tick.
06:40What makes me tick is very simple.
06:43Fon, Fon, Fon.
07:10Fon, Fon.
07:12My goodness, I've got you well trained.
07:22Problem, Sav?
07:23Father to you, Raymond.
07:24You can call me Sav when your balls rock.
07:26Sorry, Father.
07:27The tank's caught that twat trying to get in the back of you.
07:29Right.
07:30Take over.
07:31Thanks.
07:31Stop.
07:47You're getting a bit confused, young fella.
07:50Why would you keep mistaking the back door, which is staff only,
07:54with the front door, where you have to pay?
07:56You must have flu of the brain.
07:57Luckily, Dr Savile's got a cure.
07:59I'll leave it to my palet to administer it.
08:25I'll leave it to my palet to administer it.
08:30So that's the teardrops with I'm Gonna Steal Your Boyfriend.
08:34Well, that's as if your boyfriends get stoned.
08:36Yours truly here is always ready to watch.
08:40Sorted, that's Smooch time.
08:43Guys and gals, if the midnight hour approaches, so grab a partner.
08:48Don't be particularly fussy about where you grab them, because it's the last dance.
08:51That's right, it's Smooch time.
08:54And the Smooch song tonight is Al-Hazan with Hello Heartbreak.
08:59Here we sit, one cigarette between us.
09:08Oh, dear ladies, no partners?
09:10Sad, isn't it?
09:11Oh, it's a tragedy. Two beauties like you.
09:15You're not offering to dance with us, are you?
09:17No, I can't join another dance floor. I'd lose me aura.
09:20What's an aura?
09:22It's a mysterious, God-given quality.
09:25Jesus Christ had one, Elvis has one, as do a few of the pop stars.
09:30You're not a pop star, though.
09:32You're just a DJ who runs a mack club.
09:34We've met Philip Yore.
09:36Well, I've met Elvis.
09:38If you were.
09:39As sure as I'm standing here, and he gave me a little bit of his aura.
09:43Fancy coming back to mine after?
09:45And I'll tell you all about Elvis.
10:12You should be paying me for this apprenticeship, pal.
10:15You should be paying me for this apprenticeship, pal.
10:18Oh, ladies, ladies.
10:21Now, I've got a question for you.
10:22Have you ever been in a Rolls Royce?
10:25Have we yet?
10:26Well, the good news is that there's plenty of room for the fearers in the back.
10:32Oh, hello.
10:36I'll deal with this. Another time. Another time.
10:40How can I help you, officer?
10:43This lad says you'll banter. Give him a pasting.
10:46The bastard smacks seven shades out of me.
10:49I think the young lad's confused.
10:50You told him to. All right, and you know you did.
10:52All I know, officer, is sometimes we have no choice but to eject gents who get a bit leery.
10:58And in so doing, it can happen that their heads collide with a door on the way out.
11:02And I humbly suggest that's what's happened on this occasion.
11:04This is such shit.
11:06Thing is, son, it's your word against Mr Savile.
11:09Yeah, and you'll take his.
11:10Because he's got you in his pocket.
11:13Twat.
11:18Sorry about that.
11:20Always happy to help, officer.
11:21To be fair, we don't stand any nonsense down at Brutal Street, Nick, either.
11:25Well, they don't call it Brutal Street for now, do they?
11:28Night, Jimmy.
11:29Night, night.
11:32What you've got to understand, Daniel, is I worked hard, but I played hard.
11:37You're talking about girls?
11:39The fair sex, God bless them.
11:42And there were always plenty available?
11:45Always.
11:46You've got to remember, I was king of club land.
11:48Hmm.
11:49I brought the swinging 60s to the north of England before anyone thought of it.
11:53And had I not been a gentleman, a lot of those young girls could have been in moral danger.
12:00How do you mean?
12:01I'm talking about scruples, Dr Wordsmith, as given to me by the Dutch.
12:06And if a young girl wanted a dalliance, I made sure it was all above board.
12:11As opposed to, what, exploitative, non-consensual?
12:16You're using long words.
12:18There are rumours that there's another side to you, Jimmy.
12:23And what rumours might those be?
12:25Your taste for young women.
12:27It's girls.
12:28There you go again, you see.
12:30I said, there is no side to me.
12:32The rumours are cobblers.
12:33It was all good, clean fun.
12:47What?
12:49Father.
12:51They're here.
12:58You really have met them then.
12:59Oh, aye.
13:01I found myself in the offices of Decker in London.
13:03They said, we've got this gold disc for Elvis for It's Now or Never.
13:07How do we get it to him?
13:08Before you know it, I'm on a plane to L.A.
13:11Found him on a Hollywood film set.
13:13True gent.
13:13I took the record and he danced the boss and over around the studio just for me.
13:17What the story?
13:18Well, when opportunity knocks, don't hesitate.
13:23That's my motto.
13:25Blag anything you, can't you, father?
13:26Oh, aye.
13:27Is he really your son?
13:29Adopted.
13:30Yeah, away from Stray.
13:31I found him under the archers in Piccadilly.
13:33Crying for his mammy.
13:35I don't know what to believe in you two.
13:38Where are the walls black?
13:40I told him to paint them black.
13:43Why?
13:44It's so dark.
13:50How's your tea anyway?
13:53Weak.
13:55Them tea leaves have only been used twice before.
13:58Have they?
13:59Yeah, I was feeling generous.
14:01Anyway, you've had your tea.
14:04Has about a bit of friendliness.
14:07What do you mean?
14:12Why don't I show you?
14:28So, er, been to church today?
14:31It being Sunday.
14:34No.
14:35Not religious then?
14:38No.
14:39I am.
14:40Very.
14:43Would you like me to teach you how to pray?
14:48Why don't you come over here?
14:55Come on.
15:06Kneel down.
15:07There's a good girl.
15:18Runs together.
15:19Not that.
15:27What a vision.
15:30You could be a nun.
15:34I bet you've done some very un-nun-like things, haven't you?
15:37Eh?
15:40What do you mean?
15:42You know what I mean.
16:07You're all right?
16:07No!
16:10I'm not.
16:12What did he do?
16:14I don't want to talk about it.
16:17We should never have come here.
16:21You won't tell anyone.
16:23Of course not.
16:26Let's just get out of here.
16:27Come on.
16:28Come on.
16:49But why?
16:51It's not as if you don't stand out enough in this city already.
16:54There's a whole world beyond Manchester, son.
16:56And, er, a lot of people live and die in it.
17:01Not ever being noticed.
17:25I thought Manchester was grim.
17:27These is a shithole.
17:28The prodigal son returns.
17:32The prodigal son returns.
17:32This is a privilege.
17:33I don't make a habit of introducing people to the Duchess.
17:48Mother?
17:52What have you done now?
17:54Professional raisers, mother.
17:56How are you, my darling?
17:57You've given me palpitations.
17:59You'll be the death of me.
18:00Nonsense, mother.
18:00You'll live forever.
18:04Who's this?
18:06Jimmy's little helper.
18:21People will think you're a pansy.
18:24Like the old joke, isn't it?
18:26A fella says to his pal,
18:27my mother made me homosexual.
18:30And the pal says,
18:30if I give her some wool, will she make me one?
18:33That's not funny.
18:35People are talking about you.
18:41What's he up to?
18:43I say, I wish I knew.
18:46Tell me you've taken over as manager down at the Mecca.
18:49All you do is clown around and speak in a silly voice.
18:55This lovely ballroom, proper dancing.
18:57Joe Loss, Victor Sylvester.
19:00Now it's just youngsters cavorting to heaven knows what
19:03racket.
19:04They love him, Mrs. Savile.
19:09He's old enough to be the father.
19:11What business of teenagers is?
19:14My business with young people, mother,
19:16is to sprinkle some stardust into their lectured lives.
19:20And he's the best in the business.
19:22That was an unsolicited testimonial.
19:24You should see him up there,
19:26spinning those records.
19:28I've no wish to.
19:29He was the first person who thought of getting people to dance to records.
19:32So he says,
19:33I'd divide everything he tells you by two if I were you.
19:36And he's on Radio Luxembourg.
19:39Never listened.
19:40Wouldn't know how.
19:42We can sort that out.
19:46Look at that.
19:47Pulled us off batteries.
19:48You can check it anywhere.
19:50And have tuned it so you can listen to my show.
19:52I'm quite happy with the BBC.
19:55But I'm not on the BBC, mother.
19:57And nor will you ever be.
19:59As if they put a man with a common Yorkshire accent on the BBC.
20:03Look what you've turned into.
20:06Why couldn't you have done something worthwhile with your life,
20:09like Charles Hulligan?
20:10Become a squaddy.
20:11Sent to the colonies.
20:13Taking orders from other people all day.
20:15He's been invalided out.
20:17He's at the infirmary now.
20:19Head porter.
20:22And it's still not too late to do something with your life.
20:45Have you ever wanted to steal a kiss?
20:48Have you ever wanted to try?
20:51But you let her get you scared to do.
20:55You got some...
20:56Oh, you're close!
20:57Jimmy!
20:57Jimmy!
20:58Jimmy!
20:59Oh, no.
21:00Steady, I'm steady.
21:01I need you to do my consultation.
21:02Jimmy!
21:06You're all looking forward to an afternoon of top hits,
21:08fun and excitement.
21:10A vision.
21:11A vision.
21:13Look at this.
21:14Such beauty.
21:18Oh, you're in that.
21:19Oh, you got just what you deserve.
21:22Did she smile at you and you never did know why?
21:27Mmm, cause you never know what you're missing.
21:32Till you try, till you try.
21:35No, you never know what you're missing.
21:38Till you try, till you try.
21:41No, no, you never know what you're missing.
21:43Oh, that's no lie, that's no lie.
21:47So you better listen to what I say.
21:51You want to have a kiss you tonight.
21:53Go ahead and hold her close to you.
21:57Squeeze her before your mind.
22:01And sir?
22:05They said you wanted me?
22:08So go.
22:15This, er, your first visit to Jimmy's Palace of Pleasure, is it?
22:19Yeah.
22:20Thought so.
22:22I was coming with a friend, but she hasn't turned up.
22:27Oh.
22:29All on your own, here, eh?
22:31No matter, sweetheart.
22:34I think you'll, er, you'll have a super time.
22:38We'll throw your ticket first.
22:42I wish I had to know where you girls get your tickets.
23:06What else have you got in your knickers?
23:12I think you'd better show me
23:16Come on
23:19Let's see
23:23Eric, my good friend
23:24Jimmy, good to see you
23:26Yeah, this last lost the ticket
23:29But we found it now, so there you go
23:31Run along and have fun
24:04Run along and have fun
24:14It's Saturday afternoon
24:16And the place is heaving
24:18And with kids
24:20Until six o'clock
24:21Then they go on for a glass of milk and a bedtime story
24:24Then, in the evening
24:25They do it all again for the older ones
24:27This place was dying on its feet
24:30Well, no one bothered to tell this city
24:33That the 1950s are over
24:34Well, you've certainly done that
24:35They love you
24:41You are the man, Jimmy
24:43Everybody's saying it
24:45Now, I know you've got your show at Luxembourg
24:47You've got Irons in the Fire at Decca and elsewhere
24:49But I'm not going to let you go
24:52I want even more of that Saville magic
24:56It's not going to let you do it Everybody's saying it
24:59Yeah I know you've got four
25:00Yeah I know you've got four
25:11All right
25:15No
25:36You're listening to Radio Luxembourg,
25:39the station of the stars and the sprinkler of pop stardust
25:42on all you happy young people.
25:46Good evening, one and all.
25:48This is Jimmy Savile,
25:50the new edition of Teen and Twenty Disc Club.
25:52Now, I'll bet that many of you are listening to this
25:55on your transistor radios underneath your bed floor.
25:58And what better place for a teenager to be
26:00with your good friend Jimmy, the company,
26:02and what better song than
26:04I Could Make You Mine by David Marks and The Marksman.
26:33What sins do you want to confess?
26:35Yes.
26:39I don't know if I love my son.
26:44And why do you have this feeling?
26:49I came along after my other six children.
26:52I know it's wrong, but I didn't want any more.
26:55Well, not again, I said to the doctor.
27:00I think he's always known I felt like that.
27:04It's my fault he's like he is.
27:06He's always looking for attention showing off.
27:11I worry there's some terrible darkness in him.
27:17Has he committed mortal sins?
27:19I don't know, but I worry that he has.
27:23Does he go to confession?
27:26Yes, but I don't think it tells the truth.
27:31If there is such a darkness in him,
27:33it's God who'll have to answer to, not you.
27:37No sin is hidden from him.
27:40At the end of our lives,
27:42we all face a final reckoning.
27:47But a mother should love a child unconditionally,
27:49and I don't.
27:51We all love him perfectly.
27:56I don't think you've committed a sin.
27:58But you must never stop trying to love
28:01or have faith in him.
28:34I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:35I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:36I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:37I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:37I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:39I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:39I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:40I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:40I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:40I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:41I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:42I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:43I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:45I don't think you've committed a sin.
28:59Mr. Hulligan, I presume.
29:01I hear you're the big cheese round here now.
29:04Well, well, well.
29:07How was India?
29:08Oh, beautiful country.
29:10Lovely people.
29:12So how come you ended up back here on Civvy Street?
29:15Got stabbed.
29:17A fella just came up to me in the street and buried an eight-inch blade in me guts.
29:22Was it something you said?
29:23Didn't say a word.
29:24Lost me spleen.
29:26Nearly died.
29:27He was the uniform he was stabbing, not me personally.
29:30Ah, yeah.
29:31Anyway, you're a disc jockey now, are you?
29:34Among other things.
29:36I believe you've been involved in setting up a hospital radio service.
29:41Were you?
29:41Fine.
29:44Be old.
29:46What?
29:47Aye.
29:48Proving very popular.
29:50Yeah?
29:50Aye.
29:51So, er, how does it work?
29:54Well, er, disc jockey sits here and plays records requested by patients.
30:00So what, they listen to it on headphones?
30:02No, no, just speakers at once.
30:05So what if Aunt Mabel, er, who's sitting on a bedpan, trying to do her business, doesn't
30:12want to do it, to the strains of crying by Roy Orbison?
30:15You need headphones.
30:17We've no money for headphones.
30:18This is all donated.
30:21Who are your disc jockeys?
30:22Well, I do as much as I can, and we're volunteers.
30:25So you'd welcome some professional tips.
30:28Thanks.
30:30But, er, patients like our amateur touch.
30:34Well, you're head porter, I could be your chief cheerer-offer.
30:41Hey, Jimmy, we were at Mecca the other night.
30:43It was wild, mad.
30:45You had us in the palm of your hand, he did.
30:47Yeah, you're the talk of Leeds.
30:49Well, Leeds ain't seen nothing yet, sweetheart, and may I say it, how tres enchanté I am to
30:54meet you, which is like a young lady.
30:58Young lady.
30:59Oh, oh, that's good.
31:01My good friend, er, Charles, was just asking me if I wouldn't mind volunteering here at
31:04the hospital.
31:05Wow, that'd be fab.
31:06I said I'd be delighted.
31:08Well, it's not up to me.
31:09You'd have to have management approval.
31:10Well, if you're happy, they'll be happy.
31:12Now, must crack on.
31:13Stand aside, my good man.
31:15Presumably, young lady, they've got a generous measure of genius.
31:22I'll be your tummy.
31:23I'll be your tummy.
31:41I'll be your tummy.
31:43I'll be your tummy.
31:43I'll be your tummy.
31:44Oz?
31:45How are you?
31:46Champion.
31:47Who's this spot here, a bit?
31:49Little Jeff.
31:49Ray got him in.
31:51Where's Ray?
31:52Southport, I think.
31:53What's he doing in Southport?
31:54Said something about a gig.
31:56Fuck off, nothing.
31:59Evening, guys and gals.
32:01Another chilly old evening in Manchester.
32:03Why don't we set the temperature right up with this?
32:45No milk.
32:54How was last night?
32:57Yeah, good.
32:59The club was buzzing.
33:01Yeah.
33:03How could she take on the door?
33:08Well, erm...
33:10Didn't actually count.
33:13Would have been tricky, wouldn't it?
33:15Being as you weren't there.
33:18I was off for a job in Southport.
33:20I got a top lad in to cover for...
33:22Top lad? I called in.
33:24Place was like a bloody morgue.
33:29I'm off.
33:30Right.
33:31Is that all you can say?
33:33I wasn't expecting flowers, but fuck me.
33:36I did, love.
33:43I had a chance to make a few extra quid.
33:45I pay you to mind the shop.
33:46Yeah?
33:48Peanuts?
33:48Yeah, because you're a bloody monkey.
33:51I'll get some milk.
33:53Oh.
33:54Your man rang.
33:55Told me about a hot water not working.
33:57Didn't know where you were.
33:58In the state she was.
34:00Remember this?
34:01Couple of days ago.
34:02Like you tell me.
34:03Why?
34:04Well, I didn't know where you were either.
34:06Bugger ever does.
34:08You're a cunt, you know that.
34:09In the middle, you're a bitch's in shame.
34:09No self issues.
34:24What the fuck left finish?
34:28Oh, that's not that bad.
34:31I said no.
34:33No abuse issues.
34:36Mother!
34:42Mother!
34:44What happened?
34:46I wanted a bath but the back boiler's broken.
34:53I tried to get hold of you.
34:55Why didn't you call one of me sisters?
35:00Jobs and children.
35:02You know, you can always rely on me, Mother.
35:07I thought I might die if nobody found me.
35:10I can't die. I mustn't.
35:35There's your tea, Jimmy.
35:39The only reason a wife would come in handy.
35:43Making a brew.
35:45I don't need them for my vittles either.
35:47I eat beans or find a calf.
35:50Pretty odd view of women.
35:53Not at all.
35:54I revere the fair sex and often is not there to revere me.
35:58The idea of a wife gives me the shivers.
36:04Why?
36:06Wives are another person cluttering up your life.
36:09Their emotions.
36:12And you've never wanted that kind of commitment?
36:16No.
36:19Have you?
36:21Is there a Mrs. Wordsmith?
36:23There is a woman in my life, yeah.
36:25Don't sound too ecstatic.
36:28I've had hundreds of them in mine.
36:33Women throw themselves at me have to fight them off.
36:36Which is common with many a fella in the pop world.
36:40And you've never wanted children?
36:46An unthinkable encumbrance.
36:49Love and affection?
36:51I get all the love and affection I need from the Duchess.
36:56But she's dead.
36:58Not to me.
36:59She's still what she always was to me.
37:01And what is that?
37:02Guide, mentor, companion, fount of truth and wisdom and best pal.
37:08And what do you think you are to her?
37:13The loving, trusting son I always was.
37:19Look at that.
37:21Father's wedding ring.
37:22I've worn it since he died.
37:26So...
37:28Did you...
37:29Do you consider yourself a sort of husband to the Duchess?
37:42Well, you didn't have an age to any changes here.
37:43I'm sorry.
37:43It doesn't have an age to life in the hippies.
37:44I'm sorry.
37:45I'm not a youngster.
37:45But I'm sorry.
37:54I'm sorry.
38:00You've said that.
38:02I'm sorry.
38:03I'm so sorry.
38:04It's not aé•·, Hopper.

40:06All right. All unpacked. That's why I go for a run and buy us a fish supper.
40:13Mother.
40:15So lovely.
40:19Ah.
40:20Later, your family moved to Leicester where you and your two brothers...
41:09Why did the Sphinx speak in Riddles?
41:13It was to ask a question which a traveller had to answer to be allowed to pass.
41:19You see, you're a traveller to me.
41:24So am I expected to find the answers to your riddles?
41:30What you see is riddles, I see is the truth. You just don't see it.
41:36I'm trying, Jimmy.
41:39And you're keen to continue?
41:40Yeah, for sure.
41:41Good, so am I. Because I have a feeling you and I make a pair.
41:50Why's that?
41:52We're both loners.
41:58Well, how do you know that I'm a loner?
42:00Call it a sixth sense. Just as you're curious about me, I am about you. And I intend to find
42:07out more.
42:09There's not really a lot to know.
42:11That's what I keep saying to you.
42:14And the other thing my sixth sense says is there's something missing in your life.
42:19And you see me as the answer.
42:23Well, this isn't about me.
42:24Don't be shy about it.
42:26I'm your opportunity, aren't I?
42:28You solve the mystery of Jimmy Savile.
42:30Write your book.
42:31Fame and fortune will follow.
42:33And why wouldn't it?
42:34I should know.
42:35I've leapt at every opportunity I've made for myself.
42:38Because I had the balls to do it.
42:51I can't find anywhere to stay.
42:54Pretty tight.
43:01How are you doing?
43:02Getting away from you.
43:03What do you want to do something like that for?
43:05Get out of the way.
43:08We've met before.
43:08Yeah.
43:10Yeah.
43:11I was only trying to give you a cuddle.
43:13Is that why you ran away from work?
43:14Leave me alone.
43:16Stop it.
43:18Stop it.
43:19Get off me.
43:20Stop.
43:22Get off me.
43:38Immediately.
43:38I Ø®
43:38get off me.
43:54You know what?
44:06I go.
44:18Tom.
44:20Tom Sloan, Head of Light Entertainment.
44:23Captain.
44:24Bill Cotton, his assistant head.
44:27Bill.
44:27I've got Anna.
44:29Ian Stone, Head of Grammar Phone.
44:30Delighted.
44:32Well, I must say, I am honoured and humbled
44:34to be entering these hallowed portals.
44:37I must apologise, don't have my whippet with me.
44:39Had to leave him at home up north, but he sends his regards.
44:44Take a seat.
44:48My goodness, my mother could see me now.
44:51When does the bar open?
44:53Like the rest of the BBC, we try and wait till noon.
44:57Well, no matter to me, I'm teetotal.
45:01And can you keep a secret?
45:02Like a priest in a confessional.
45:04Good, because the project we want to discuss is totally hush.
45:08Now, I'm sure you're aware of a new programme on the other side called Ready, Steady, Go.
45:13Presented by the gorgeous brunette Cathy McGowan.
45:16Yeah.
45:17The weekend starts here.
45:18What a great catchphrase.
45:19Got a big audience amongst the young.
45:21There's a feeling here that we need to keep up.
45:24Of course, we've had a stab at a pop show before.
45:26The Six Five Special.
45:27And jukebox jury, of course.
45:31But there's a feeling that show's not quite, um...
45:36With it enough.
45:37With it, yes.
45:39We can't afford to let re-diffusion get ahead.
45:42So, Tom asked me to come up with some ideas.
45:45I brought in Johnny here, one of our top producers.
45:49We just feel that where Ready, Steady, Go is essentially a magazine programme with pop songs and interviews.
45:54Our should be specifically tied to that week's pop chart.
45:57We've got each episode culminating in the song that is top of the hip parade.
46:03An inspirational idea.
46:04Yeah.
46:04Can you guess where we got it from?
46:05I haven't got a clue.
46:06You know perfectly well, Mr Savile.
46:08You are, of course, right, madam.
46:11But modestly forbade me from answering in the affirmative.
46:13Cracking ideas to have a lady present, by the way.
46:16We're talking, obviously, about your show on Luxembourg.
46:20It's the Team 20 Disc Club.
46:21Yeah, we never heard of it.
46:22But the boys were raving about it.
46:24Tune in.
46:24It's brilliant.
46:25Well, unsolicited testimonial.
46:28Obviously, we'll need a presenter.
46:30I would be honoured to be considered.
46:32I should make clear that we are talking to other candidates as well.
46:36Well, may I ask who the other candidates are?
46:40Pete Murray.
46:41Oh, yes.
46:41An absolute gentleman.
46:42Indeed he is.
46:43And a fine disc jockey.
46:45Though I know he was disappointed that he wasn't able to make a success of 6-5 Special,
46:50as I expect with you.
46:53And David Jacobson?
46:55Very popular with the kids, mums.
46:57Less so with the kids.
46:59You must be right the same age as David.
47:02I doubt very much whether David is pals with the Kinks,
47:04whereas I had egg and chips with them last week in a cafe.
47:07Very humble men, the Kinks.
47:09Your point being?
47:11That I have a connection with the youth.
47:14You have children?
47:15Being a Yorkshireman, I didn't fancy the expense.
47:18But they'd trust me and they'd follow me.
47:21Like the Pied Piper.
47:22And they certainly love that zany style.
47:24The question I have to consider is,
47:26is it right for the BBC?
47:29Our mission is to entertain as well as inform and educate.
47:34We have to think carefully about who does our entertaining.
47:37Benny Hill, we love.
47:39The emperor of smut, to some,
47:42but a fine comedian in my book.
47:44And the black and white minstrels.
47:47Again, met them.
47:48Beneath the make-up, lovely people.
47:50But unlike the minstrels and Benny,
47:52I'm not an act.
47:53I'm just me.
47:54I'm Jimmy Savile.
47:56What you see is what you get.
47:59Well, that's, um...
48:01That's good to know.
48:02Thanks for coming in.
48:03Pleasure.
48:04We'll be in touch.
48:06Thanks, ladies, gentlemen.
48:08Good.
48:09I'll see you out, Jimmy.
48:10On we go.
48:20What do you think?
48:21He's our man.
48:22Definitely.
48:25Anna?
48:26All I can say is,
48:28people I know at Radio Luxembourg
48:30have told me the man's an absolute shit.
48:33How so?
48:34Bain, overbearing, untrustworthy.
48:36You've just seen how patronising his attitude to women is.
48:41That's just his show-busy style, Anna.
48:45I wouldn't know.
48:46I don't move in show-busy circles.
48:49But it's your show, not mine.
48:52Personally,
48:54I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.
49:02I'd reallyext why I don't have to kill her.
49:04Bye.
49:04Bye.
49:08Bye.
49:09Bye.
49:15Bye.
