Jimmy Saville is still alive...

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.

ooh, never went to court apparently. forgot. didn't work much after that tbf.

The four page comic story, illustrated by John McCrea, is about sexual abuse within the family, which is still where abuse is most prevalent.

this can't be stressed enough tbh while we're all having a laugh and the press are playing "boo the pantomime villains" as per

Watched that ITV doc last night. There's a section where a local newspaper journalist goes to interview him at his home. A young girl arrives, Savile takes her into the bedroom for 10m, comes out, has a wash.

The hack says: "I left then, even though I hadn't even got a story."

Uh, I can sense the inkling of a story there, mate.

over 75,000 people have now come forward? incredible.

Savile gets the defender he deserves:
http://www.spiked-online.com/site/article/12973/

I like how Spiked's layout makes it look like BO'N has changed his byline photo to one of Savile, like a forum avatar. unless that is what he's done?

we are all Jimmy Savile to an extent

my extent stops short of fondling comatose children tbf but the point stands

the guess-a-nonce thing particularly shit when it turns into the smirk-at-famous-gay-people game

yeah there's a tiny leap in a lot of wankers' brains between homo and nonce

"fuck the Criminal Justice Act"

disgusting beast finally discredited in the eyes of a formerly adoring public and rightly taken to task for his crimes standing next to Jimmy Savile etc

DLT, to nobody's surprise:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/9608676/Dave-Lee-Travis-allegedly-groped-women-in-his-BBC-studio.html

surely not the hairy cuntflake

Telegraph seems to be doing a lot of the running with these stories, they are like pigs in shit with this stuff

pace HIGNFY, reeeeeeally uncomfortable w/how this story is being used as stick with which to beat the BBC

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/oct/19/jimmy-savile-met-criminal-investigation

Up to 200 victims, unprecedented scale, says Scotland Yard.

WHY ARE WE ONLY DOING THIS NOW HE'S DEAD?!

He got away with it his whole life.

To clarify, I'm not aainst theis investigation in any way, the victims deserve and need acknowledgement and closure and help if they want it, I just find it frustrating that he wont get punished, and seemed to live his dirty, nasty, exploitative life safe in the knowledge that he never, ever would. How did this happen?
