Googling reveals that Jimmy Saville hosted Top of the Pops. Why is it strange for him to have posed with Elvis?
― jaymc, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:31 (fifteen years ago)
Well, Elvis never did Top of the Pops, having only been in the UK once. Is probably not that strange a photo, but Savile himself is v.v.v. strange, so anything involving him at all has insta-weird overtones.
