hedda	Dan Davies writes a heartfelt piece for the Gronaid as the TV show is about to launch about his complicated relationship with Savile hinting he could see a darkness there yet skillfully ignores his pieces published on his death about Savile and his "heart of gold".
robbiex	If the accuser said that everyone laughed because it was the 70s and it was what people did, then why single out Saville, if apparently, this was common behaviour. The producer of the show, then went on to explain that Saville was a conman who started out in Manchester (he started in Leeds), then went on to work in Hospitals (No mention that he volunteered in hospitals without payment)
JK2006	"Stella" on BBC Brekkie, one of Savile's "victims", says everybody laughed in the 70s because that was the way people behaved then but then says "nobody listened". If nobody listened, how come "everybody laughed"? And not one question about this. Have people really become so stupid? Not doubting Stella's account (whatever it is); just wondering about balance and common sense. When did humanity decide media tells the truth? And when did TV shows get away with one sided caricatures instead of balance?

Very true. When an arm around your shoulder can either be a signal that you have copped off, or an unwanted assault depending on how you feel, facts don't matter.
