This was a major scandal that shows how big stars could do horrible things and nobody did a thing. Even when it was a fairly open secret. I mean, Harvey Weinstein was well known for some of the shit he pulled, but saying anything would derail or destroy a career.BBC Jimmy Savile drama branded ‘disgusting’ and sparks hypocrisy accusations

I don't know how Savile's victims feel about this. If they keep it realistic, it could offer incredible insight into how celebrity and power can protect evil...
Is BBC airing it? kind of covering the same ground as when they employed him. Don't know what's to be gained by doing it to death. Except money. Guy was the most undisguised cunt to grace the British Isles. Didn't try to hide it. Royal family loved him. Everybody was covering for him. Nobody held accountable. Usual story. Everybody could see he was bent.
R. Kelly got convicted today, but all thus after his career dried up.
Regular rules and laws are only for REGULAR people.
John Lydon, AKA, Johnny Rotten, outed Jimmy Savile on the BBC in 1978. He told the reporter interviewing him that no one would believe him and that his segment would not be aired.
He was right. He also got banned by the BBC for his unsavoury comments about Jimmy Savile
Here's a short video that actually includes that segment from 1978.

If you can't tell a story out of consideration for the victims, you are going to have to stop covering wars altogether. This cancel culture shit is really getting out of hand.
Also, DUH, if you don't want to have credibility problems, don't go around calling yourself Johnny Rotten

Haven't seen it, but if someone is going to do something like this it should concentrate on the people around him. Those who knew and let it go on, those who aided and abetted. We know that Saville, Epstein, and others like them, were complete fuckwads, and also that they didn't do it alone. Don't examine the person, examine the culture that allowed it.
