The nearly three-hour running time is a measured, relentless march of contemporary footage, present-day interviews with people who worked with or knew him, the investigative journalists who eventually unearthed the evidence behind the rumours – the years and years of rumours – and one of his victims – from the years and years of victims.

It’s frustrating to know that Savile never got his comeuppance while he was alive. At the same time, even documenting his horrors posthumously can serve some honesty to his true legacy. STREAM IT if you’re not worried about being triggered by it. Otherwise, quite obviously, SKIP IT.

Unflinching and brutal but really well done. Important messages for everyone.

It's in the second part that this mini-series picks up the pace in this compelling and disturbing tale of abuse, power & cover-ups.

I recommend watching this with a strong stomach. You can't spell Savile without VILE.
Even through Jimmy Savile had finally be exposed, along with his pals. However, I feel like this is just the tip of the iceberg.
I also recommend checking out Louis Theroux documentary on Savile.
