Jimmy Saville is still alive...

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.

who is the 4th tv star?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/9603136/High-profile-soap-star-linked-to-sex-abuse-claims-at-BBC-as-scandal-over-Jimmy-Savile-grows.html

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

do we a have a 'libel the dead' thread

i remember that court case with peter adamson.

and so do i.

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.

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

singer he was

mid 70s saville/glitter *era*

we talking green cross code here?

marc bolan it is

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.

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.

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

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

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

and wig and a tv star wife

and not darth vader

All the soaps have had famous 70s tv stars or pop stars in them

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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

Have I Got News For You; very interesting tonight.

come on, timmy mallet, no trial needed, if savile is the entertainment paed jesus then mallet is saint peter.

was praying the other night that Noel Edmonds gets outed

Dear Jesus,

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

(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.)

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.

"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

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.

Reid. Not Mike Read, obviously.

And HIGNFY, back on form I thought last night. Needs to be like that more often.

back then there was Crossroads and
Emmerdale Farm

Doesn't need to be back anywhere, this new story isn't about Savile back then, it's about the BBC covering up for one of their stars, so unlikely to be anyone from an itv soap.

I find this guess-who's-a-nonce game a bit distasteful though.

Agreed.

Peter "Is it true if you take your finger out I'll sink" Adamson was a convicted nonce tbf

also it's fair game speculating about people as long as they're cunts anyway

He won his court case did he not?

Good friend of mine, in 2003, wrote a 4 page cartoon story for UNICEF on child abuse, for use in schools.

Guess what he called it.
