I guess his retirement pension, just wasn't enough to live on & JS didn't leave anything for him in his frozen will! Plus, I don't recall hearing Wilf De'Ath being mentioned by Jimmy Saville since 1969. |

Ah Winnie you've fallen for that old lie "the *** did not pay any fee for this appearance"... or interview or whatever. Or "a sum was paid to charity..." Never mentioned are the "expenses" (often several thousand) for a great story. |

Appearance fee??? Wake up, Grandad - it's rare to get paid for any TV appearance these days. £80-ish quid for a Radio 4 interview, that's about it. |

this business of the "10 year old".
I find it difficult to believe on any basis.
Where did she come from ? where were her parents ? She stayed overnight ?
Times may have been different in the 60s but not that different...anyone who found a 10 year old girl in someone's flat would not ignore it..especially on the idiotic basis Savile was an "ex-boxer, wrestler"
It just isn't credible nor is this bloke.
I have a theory : he would have been paid an appearance fee, even if just 'expenses" (a favourite way of the media claiming "no money was paid etc")
a day out in London all expenses paid, even in the dubious company of MWT for a 75 year old potless OAP who has enjoyed past good times (at other's expense) to stitch up a dead DJ probably seemed a lark at the time.
Perhaps our actress remembered his as a thoroughly ghastly creature (not "Britain's most famous reprobate"  as his biog claims) and decided to stitch him up.....and he got what he deserved.
I truly believes if mankind survives JK's predicted demise, the whole Savile Affair will become a University subject. much like the Dreyfus Case....as the defining point when the Mass Media went bonkers. |

He was just interviewed on local TV in his grungy Cherry Hinton flat, full of bonhomie, expressing his amazement that he could have been arrested. Great journalism from the ocal Beeb hacks, who mentioned his BBC connections but failed to mention his criminal past. Keep up the pathetic self-flagellation, BBC! |
