When Sir Jimmy Savile died in 2011 he was celebrated as a prolific
charity fundraiser who had dedicated his time to worthy causes. But
on 3 October 2012, ITV broadcast a documentary called Exposure: The
Other Side of Jimmy Savile. In it they revealed the shocking truth
behind the popular TV persona. Several women alleged that Savile
had sexually abused them when they were underage, sparking a flurry
of further allegations in the following days and weeks. Savile was
accused of abusing hundreds of young children and teenagers over
nearly 50 years and on 19 October the Metropolitan Police launched
a formal criminal investigation into his behaviour. Just how was
Savile allowed to get away with such monstrous crimes for so long?
What role did the BBC play in sweeping previous allegations under
the carpet? Why was a Newsnight investigation that was set to
expose Savile shelved? How was he given access to vulnerable
individuals? Who else was involved? Top journalist John McShane
answers these questions and more in this unflinching examination of
the scandal that has rocked some of Britain's most famous
institutions to the core. This is the full story of how Jimmy
Savile went from being a TV favorite to the most reviled man in
Britain.
