    It is clearly intended for an international audience and for UK viewers too young to remember when Savile was a fixture on the airwaves. And, as an overview of the scandalous licence he was given to prey on vulnerable young people, it is horrifically thorough.

    I found the second of this two-parter the more compelling. Part one feels like an extended curtain-raiser.

    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.
