Gary Glitter; Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile walk into a Irish bar and the bar man says: not yewtree again”. 😂😂

Steve Coogan went from voicing Jimmy Savile's puppet in Spitting Image to 30 years later playing him in The Reckoning.

"Rattle rattle jewellery jewellery" became a catchphrase at our school when this came out

[jamesgreen]

Neither the first nor the last time that the puppet was less creepy than the real creep.

The "say everything twice, say everything twice", comment cracks me up.

The spitting image guys were pretty clever about this, They are saying he needs locking up but in such a way as not to get sued.

Wish my Dad had lived to see Saville's disgrace.
Hated him before it was fashionable!

I was at Leeds University from 1989 - 1994 and he was a local celebrity who was much sought after to open things/give prizes, etc, and he would do the collection at the cathedral every Sunday. I don't think anybody had an inkling as to quite what he got up to, he was viewed as a bit of an eccentric national treasure - as indeed were Rolf Harris, Fred Talbot and Stuart Hall. This could be seen at his funeral when the streets of Leeds were closed for the cortege and he was given a guard of honour by the Royal Marines and Help for Heroes. The outpouring of grief on the comments pages of the Daily Express and the Daily Mail, as well as the eulogies from various Tory ministers, can still be seen today, as the internet doesn't forget.

When I was a kid, I genuinely thought that he was a saint, making kids dreams come true; it was like a bit of my childhood died when it became clear just how evil he was.

My memory of Jimmy Savile, as a child of the 80s, was that you knew there was something weird and "off" about him - a man of that age with that hair and those tracksuits - but you thought he had to be OK because he was hanging out with everyone from royalty to government to the BBC to pop stars, and you figured they'd keep their distance if there was even the slightest hint of real wrongness about him.

So you chalked it up as him just being an eccentric oddball of a character - a showbiz type - who was an overall force for good because of all the charity stuff he did.

We had no idea at the time what a manipulative git he was, and that the impressions I've just described - that he was weird but had to be OK really - were exactly what he planned and intended. We were all played.

The only positive about the whole Savile saga is that he made it so much more difficult for anyone else to attempt a similar trick in the future.

"Please do not come and see me you sad man!" 😆

[punklesam]

Well this scene has aged like fine wine 🍷

I miss this show so so much...imagine the material they would have at their disposal nowadays.

[mattwilson]

Unnecessary gestures! Unnecessary...gestures

Hilarious Coogan delivery and timing

[Dead-Ball-Situation]

Despite the controvesry, you have to say this sketch is bloody hilarious.

[jmccallion]

Pity this comedy did not become reality fifty years ago, would have saved a lot of innocent lives and souls!

[Dermot]

Amazing how many people are wise after the event. Look at the footage of his funeral - he certainly did a number on the great British public. Not a single voice raised in protest, thousands lining the streets and filling a cathedral.

[smokey]

"rattle rattle jewelry jewelry" 😂😂😂😂😂

[PeasMinister]

Coogan went from playing him in a puppet satire to a chilling documentary. He really has come a long way

I am seventy year old survivor with diagnosed C-PTSD who lives in Leeds, in 1986 I met Jimmy when he was jogging at 6am in Roundhay Park and aproached him with outstreched hand and smile he reciptocated and quick as a flash I gave him a "Glasgow Kiss" and knocked him spark out then dissappeared into the ealy morning mist....now I've never been a violent man but the satisfaction was immense. I cannot go into the reasons for my action here Life & Unity
