Louis Theroux - Saville

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I hope the bastard suffers eternal damnation.

If ever a corpse needed flogging', his was the one! There'd be a queue ten times round Media United!

Was this a new documentary by Louis on Saville's crimes or just the older one done before the **** died?

I think it was a repeat mate.

Not easy viewing that, pity he was never proven guilty when alive.

It was new, a follow on from the one youre thinking of

I can kind of understand the denial. If you worked for somebody that long and only ever saw good things you'd find it hard to believe, probably just an emotional defense. Just shows the only victims werent the people he abused, his friends and anyone close to him were taken for a ride also. I do think a lot of the "we had no idea" stuff is bollocks also, your average joe had heard all the rumours about him and they didnt work at the bbc but people at the bbc knew nothing....Im not having it.

What i dont understand is why the stuff about him shagging dead bodys isnt widely reported but the child abuse is? Do the media think that might be too much for the public to handle?

was a follow up to the original savile doc' he did before the shit hit the fan.

Excellent doc' that was hard to watch when the victims told their stories.

I thought Theroux came across better than I'd ever seen him previously. First time I'd felt he was being entirely sincere.

He was pissed off that he'd not spotted the signals when he made the first programme. I genuinely think he was annoyed that he didn't bring savile to book when he was alive.

I think it went beyond being annoyed and pissed off. He seemed genuinely sad about it too.

I think Theroux was trying to justify why he became friends with Savile after the first doc he made with him, by pointing out in this doc people who were a lot closer to Savile were hoodwinked as well.

I said the same to my missus while we were watching regarding the two old biddys who weren't accepting it. Very easy to judge them but from their point of view must be incredibly difficult to accept what they have heard when they had been duped by him, spending a lifetime hero worshipping a paedophile. We have friends whose son is currently in prison for various offences to do with children. Completely wrecked all their lives but despite him more or less admitting it in court, his mum (who is a genuinely decent person) still talks about the whole thing in an odd way and can't bring herself to admit that her son is a paedophile, in fact not even close to accepting it.
