Fascinating..I like Coogan...hopefully they'll include the (now deceased) "victim" who said Savile abused her at a ToTP recording (getting the location wrong as so many did) and said it scarred her for life to the point she could never ever watch the BBC again but was actually photographed in front of her toy Dalek collection including a life size one  |

Reply to GM - There was a lady many decades ago who was saying she was SJS's mum. She was on the same bus as my Mum one day and was talking about how he never calls etc and my Mum piped up and said "hello Mum, don't you recognise me....? If you're Jimmy Savile's Mum you're also mine" She got off at the next stop.
We've had all sorts over my lifetime, it sounds incredible (even to me) but we'd laugh at some of the rediculous stories of him being somewhere when we were him 100s of miles away. Lies, impersonations, exaggerations were part of our lives decades before he died. Sad thing is they were all innocent and amusing at the time, but now.......
Owning a Donkey (long story) was my favourite story, aparently someone has photos of it walking with him around Leeds. When asked "what happened to your Donkey?" he politely answered "he died" his fiend asked "I didn't know you had a donkey?" he replied "Ive never had one but she's gone away happy" |

I fear your brother in law is making up a story Green Man, or he was mistaken with the many SJS fancy dress outfits that were worn at Leeds Utd matches. He never ever attended a football match.
I can't say everything is lies, but this is and goes to prove how much "hear say" there is out there.
I'd fill a book there are so many and with concrete evidence. Alas, it doesn't fit anyone's narrative does it?
You're probably right but I wasn't there. Personally I don't care if Jim was a football fan or not.
One of my closest work mates was a spitting image of Shakin' Stevens back in the 80s, he was mistaken for him numerous times. People even approached him for autographs or Polaroid snaps.
Wasn't there some bloke back in the 90s who was lookalike of Gazza and became a bit of celebrity ?
Sadly neither could carry a note in a bucket.  |

Jeff Pope said in an 2014 interview “I love that you can tell a really fascinating story but if you can end it with a caption that reminds the audience that all actually happened, it is suddenly so much more interesting and poignant."
However, no one really knows what happened with JS. Nor is Anna Raccoon’s forensic research that debunked the Duncroft Approved School allegations widely known.

They cut out brief clips of him innocently introducing acts on Top of the pops in case it "triggers" his "victims" yet they are presumably ok with watching a "reconstruction" of the alleged abuse?
How can that be? 
Follow the money Honey! A successful drama they can sell abroad as part of the money-making end of the BBC. Cutting JS from TOTP virtue signals and costs them nothing.
Except their reputation. |
