Jimmy Saville is still alive...

He was on the 1976 TOTP last week introducing Eddie and the Hot Rods, insisting that they should go to number one. Bless him, for once!

Is Jimmy Hill still alive?????

That's a chin scratcher.

When Saville does go I'm sure he'll be happy where he ends up. I've heard he loves the dead.

JH xD.

well.. supposedly not now.

"But Gary has not sold 'em, has not tried to sell 'em, not tried to show them in public or anything like that. It were for his own gratification. "Whether it was right or wrong is, of course, it's up to him as a person. But they didn't do anything wrong but they are then demonised."
"If you said to that copper, what's Gary Glitter done wrong? Well nothing really. He's just sat at home watching dodgy films."

I bet whoever bought his underpants at auction is feeling a bit sick.

Ewww

On the other hand, I don't think these allegations are much of a shock to anyone are they? I mean it *is* shocking that these things are said to have happened how and where they did, but all the same, I don't think anyone would underestimate the man's creepiness.

Good piece by Suzanne Moore on the whole mess surrounding Savile and seventies guys' idea of "fun": http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/oct/03/liking-young-girls-not-preference-perversion

Jesus Christ. No longer sure if this guy was real or if David Peace made him up.

Sorry, that's crass.

Also funny, true

The whole of seventies Britain is now beginning to look like David Peace made it up!

Sorry, that's crass.

no, that's exactly what i've been thinking too.

^ display name is very distracting

Well my phrasing was clumsy at least - he was obviously a very real and dangerous guy.

Anyhow, some of the fallout:

I was a bit surprised at all this because I'd heard that necrophilia rumour for so long - a bit jarring to put him into a different (& more real, hurtful) category of foulness.

I mean, how long ago was that Irvine Welsh story? 1994? 1995?

1996, fwiw

More shocked now by the jewish query than the necrophiliac one.

There's also this Have I Got News For You 'outtake', which I always assumed was fake:

http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/rogerb/jokes/HIGNFY.txt

would be an excellent fake if so

Private Eye is going to have an absolute fucking field day with all this by the way.

That transcript is fucking great...shame that HIGNFY is a bit wank these days.

yeah I just remembered that HIGN thing, it's from like 2001 but iirc was pretty swiftly debunked at the time

yeah pretty sure that hignfy transcript is fake

easily.

is it pedantic to wish Sun readers knew the difference between paedophiles and ephebophiles?

By their own standards, the Sun was for many years the UK's biggest publisher of paedophile porn.

Not all that funny, but you do have to admire the speed people work at these days.

xpost true tale..

back whenever, they did a page 3 series for girls *on* their 16th birthday.

Until someone pointed out that all of their models must have done their sessions before they were 'legal' then.

They shut the series immediately.

also, who is crepey groper of liz kershaw?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/oct/06/dj-liz-kershaw-routinely-groped-bbc

Janet Street-Porter has said publicly that they all knew about it in 1987 when she started at the BBC but she was too junior to do anything about it.

Krishnan Guru-Murphy has just dropped her in it by pointing out she was commissioning editor for youth programming, so not exactly junior and in fact gave him his first job at the Beeb in 1987 hosting a teenage discussion panel. The guest? Jingle Jangle Jewellery Jim himself.

x-post.

Curious to read paedophilia described as a "pet hate".

groper of Liz? the Ha!ry C0rnf14ke?

Sandi Toksvig says that apparently her groper is now dead. Don't know about Liz Kerahsw though, unlike her stalker brother.
