the scale of complicity around this is quite staggering.

Dear Jan Moir, have you not fucked off yet, you snivelling excuse for a human being?

P.S. it is easy to understand why those who
were molested by Savile are now coming
forward to speak out. One understands how
the domino effect of others gives courage,
how there is comfort in a crowd.
I have less sympathy with celebrities such as
Sandi Toksvig and Liz Kershaw, now loudly
claiming long-ago molestations and abuse at
the BBC. Hardly shrinking violets, they did
nothing about it at the time and still do not
name their tormentors. What’s the point?

I thought they *did* do something at the time...

It's Jan Moir - she'll have no truck with your 'facts' and 'reading comprehension' and such.

did a few stories on this and my boss had a word after one and joked about me picking the pic that made him look most like a stereotypical paedo. had to explain that every single pic of him looks like this.

Yeah when I clicked on this thread I assumed it was a comedian dressed as some sort of bizarre character but then I realized that was just the way he really looked.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 12 October 2012 21:25 (eleven years ago) link

i wonder if it's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Adamson who played Len Fairclough on coronation street? It's the right era and I don't know if there were any other UK soaps at that time.

awww i thought we had a nice bit of libel there but it turns out the cunt has carked it

Nilmar Honorato da Silva, Friday, 12 October 2012 21:48 (eleven years ago) link

do we a have a 'libel the dead' thread

Nilmar Honorato da Silva, Friday, 12 October 2012 21:49 (eleven years ago) link

i remember that court case with peter adamson.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 12 October 2012 21:56 (eleven years ago) link

and so do i.

jed_, Friday, 12 October 2012 21:56 (eleven years ago) link

I got the impression from that article it wasn't an established soap star but a tv star who appeared in one. Suggesting a short stint or perhaps even a cameo.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 12 October 2012 21:59 (eleven years ago) link

i can think of one huge star from the mid 70s saville/glitter who went on to appear in eastenders

singer he was

Professor Giff (NickB), Friday, 12 October 2012 22:00 (eleven years ago) link

mid 70s saville/glitter *era*

Professor Giff (NickB), Friday, 12 October 2012 22:00 (eleven years ago) link

we talking green cross code here?

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 12 October 2012 22:01 (eleven years ago) link

marc bolan it is

Nilmar Honorato da Silva, Friday, 12 October 2012 22:02 (eleven years ago) link

if this spreads from the BBC to pop/rock stars of the 70s for underage sex there's gonna be noone left with a reputation.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 12 October 2012 22:03 (eleven years ago) link

All the soaps have had famous 70s tv stars or pop stars in them. Almost all of them will be libelled until the truth comes out.

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 12 October 2012 22:06 (eleven years ago) link

we talking green cross code here?

i can't figure this one out, are you talking about the darth vader guy?

Professor Giff (NickB), Friday, 12 October 2012 22:18 (eleven years ago) link

cos i must have missed his big hits in the 70s

Professor Giff (NickB), Friday, 12 October 2012 22:19 (eleven years ago) link

I would say he's talking about The Man With The Glove.

~ (Matt #2), Friday, 12 October 2012 22:23 (eleven years ago) link

and wig and a tv star wife

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 12 October 2012 22:28 (eleven years ago) link

and not darth vader

Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 12 October 2012 22:29 (eleven years ago) link

Read that as 'soap stars have had' and was all, "Well, yes."

Ned Raggett, Friday, 12 October 2012 22:33 (eleven years ago) link

I would say he's talking about The Man With The Glove.

oh right! was thinking of someone else, didn't know that glove guy had been in soaps until now, eeek

Professor Giff (NickB), Friday, 12 October 2012 22:39 (eleven years ago) link

I actually used to live 5 doors along in the same street as Mr Glove and his Glamorous Soap Star Wife, and I never saw any noncing going on. I did see some pretty shocking syrup action going on, mind.

it's not Dav1d £ssEx ffs. they would not describe him as a soap star. plus it would really taint my regular listenings to "rock on", so, NO.

jed_, Friday, 12 October 2012 23:06 (eleven years ago) link

actually they don't describe him as a soap star so it's possible. but i hope it's not him.

jed_, Friday, 12 October 2012 23:09 (eleven years ago) link

you should try listening to "i'm the leader of the gang (i am)"

Professor Giff (NickB), Friday, 12 October 2012 23:10 (eleven years ago) link

There's another glove, and twitter searches are a bit creepy:

***** ******** came to my kids school for the gold awards, disappointed he wasn't wearing his leather glove!

stet, Friday, 12 October 2012 23:11 (eleven years ago) link

Now they're saying Jeremy Beadle may have had a small hand in it.

~ (Matt #2), Friday, 12 October 2012 23:13 (eleven years ago) link

xp Ha! That's the glove i assumed people were talking about. Not that there have ever been rumours about him, iirc.

Go Narine, Go! (ShariVari), Friday, 12 October 2012 23:14 (eleven years ago) link

Mike Reid's dead, right? We can libel him if we want.

was praying the other night that Noel Edmonds gets outed

thread lock holiday (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 13 October 2012 08:05 (eleven years ago) link

Dear Jesus,

Please please please please fix it for me for Noel Edmonds to be outed as a nonce.

a great poke for Jet Set Willy (snoball), Saturday, 13 October 2012 08:08 (eleven years ago) link

(ftr I think it's incredibly unlikely - out of all the DJs on that 1977 Radio Times cover, Edmonds is the least nonce-like. A huge womanising creep, yes, but not a pedo.)

"LEN STOLE MY SUNSHINE" = a headline that can be used if this story gets another airing

back then there was Crossroads and Emmerdale Farm

If it was Peter Adamson they would just publish his name since he was dead

Algerian Goalkeeper, Saturday, 13 October 2012 08:35 (eleven years ago) link

They might want more than one source for the stories, though, even with a dead star like Adamson or TV-comedian-turned-soap-actor-and-close-friend-of-Freddie-Starr Mike Read.

Go Narine, Go! (ShariVari), Saturday, 13 October 2012 10:17 (eleven years ago) link

Reid. Not Mike Read, obviously.
