I always thought Savile at most possibly slept with a couple of slightly underage girls..bearing in mind he had very long time girlfriends and never sought publicity over it..and he's entire persona was an act.
I only met Jimmy once in the foyer of Broadcasting House when he came down to collect a record I was promoting..a ten minute chat..warm and friendly..and later I thought..
"you really are just a very down to earth and your whole image is just a very good crafted one of sort of wacky over-the-top which the public reacts to and loves in the way they like eccentric characters" (despite the re-writing of recent history that Savile was a freak.
which makes me think..to be an English eccentric these days is courting danger. I always think of the 2 MPs I met and was reasonably friendly with..
Leo Abse &
Norman St John Stevas..both incredibly charming and friendly men who if alive today would probably be in jail just for dressing strangely and being "odd".
