Summary

For decades, TV presenter Jimmy Savile was idolised as a national treasure in Britain. But the power and adoration Savile enjoyed was matched only by his perversions and depravity...

He was knighted, awarded an OBE, he rubbed shoulders with royalty, prime ministers and he ruled the roost at the BBC. Savile also raised millions for charity, for which he was rewarded with the literal keys to hospitals and children's homes across the country.

In part 1 of this 2 part series, Hannah and Suruthi explore the truth behind Jimmy Savile's eccentric facade, delve into his secretive childhood and ask why no one stopped this monstrous predator.

1:34.5	and everywhere else. And including the ones that we recorded and they never released because they
1:39.1	weren't good enough. That's true. There's also those. All of the ones that we've been, all of those.
1:44.5	So I would wager that we've said it probably 400 times, upwards of 400 times. Live shows, we say it
1:51.3	live shows sometimes, do we? This is true. But we will honour the milestone of 200 episodes today.
