Along the way from Queen's Hotel, where thousands of fans said goodbye to the host, a funeral motorcade with a coffin painted in a golden color for a short time stopped at the main hospital Lids. For many years, Savil not only sacrificed and helped collect money for this hospital, but also worked there as a volunteer.
The motorcade drove to the Cathedral of Lids, where Savil often prayed. From the points of the route, the silhouette of the host, smoking a cigar, loomed on the map - Savvil was an avid smoker.
Savil loved to make his talent laugh. “This is the whole of Jimmy - he pleased all of us,” said Steven Milborne, a crane driver, who was the first among hundreds of people in line for a memorial service. “I have been standing here from five in the morning, I had time to remember his jokes and crazy acts.”
A year after the death of Sevil, the whole country found out that he was a pedophile and a rapist.
The legend of Great Britain
Jimmy Savvil was born in October 1926 in Lids in a family of Catholics and was the seventh child. His father worked in the bookmaker and an insurance agent, and his mother was engaged in children. The host’s childhood fell on the years of great depression, the family lacked money for life. He said that his mother had to feed and wear nine people for three and a half pounds per week (about 175 pounds at a modern course) .
In 1940, the 14-year-old Savvil threw a school to go to work. During the Second World War, he worked at the coal mines of the Western Yorkshire, after organizing parties in the dance halls of Lids. In 1958, Savil got a job as a DJ at Radio Luxembourg, and in 1960 - in Tyne Tees Television.
In 1964, Savvil began to lead the music chart Top of the Pops on the BBC, over time he had his own radio show. But Savil’s popularity was brought by the children's program Jim'll Fix It (“Jim will correct this”), which, starting in 1975, he led almost 20 years. In the releases of the program, the presenter read out letters of children and tried to fulfill their desires - for example, send a group of Boyscauts to the entertainment park.
In 1971, the 15-year-old Claire Macalpin died of an overdose of sleeping pills. Shortly before his death, her mother Vera Macalpin called in the BBC and said that Jimmy Savel was molesting Claire. He noticed her during the filming of Top of the pops, where the audience was often invited, and called to his home.
The leadership of the BBC began to check. Savila was interviewed, but the presenter rejected the accusations, and this turned out to be enough - the channel did not try to talk with the Macalpin itself and with other Top of the Pops to find out the details of the incident. The case was closed, and Savil continued to invite young girls to the auditorium.

The spectators later said that Savil raped them in a dressing room. There were rumors on the TV channel, but Savil’s colleagues preferred not to pay attention to them.
Talking that Savil Pedophile went beyond the bi-ss. Savil himself admitted that he sometimes invited 14-year-old girls to his home after filming Top of the Pops, but, as he explained to the Radio One bosses, he called teenagers who had nowhere to sleep.
In the following years, the host more than once asked if he was a pedophile, but he only joked and said that he really did not like children and would not allow them to cross the threshold of his house, because he would be “very uncomfortable”.
In an interview in 1990, Savil insisted that there are always children around him, because he works in show business and knows their idols.
"Just try to tell someone"
In 1972, Savil came to check his sight in optics, where a 21-year-old girl named Susan was trained. She later said that during the diagnosis the host constantly smoked, but she was scared to ask him to postpone a cigar - Savil was one of her first clients.
Susan later said that before leaving, Savil asked the optics manager to send “that very with large buffers and in a short skirt” to check his glasses.
When Susan entered the house, Savil locked the door to the castle, and after she began diagnostics and put on glasses on him, he grabbed her by the chest and “put his tongue in her throat.” Susan tried to push him away, but she did not succeed. Savil down the pants of his tracksuit.
Violence lasted several minutes, recalls Susan in a conversation with reporters. When it ended, he invited her to give him an interview for his program “Traveling Savil”, in which he talked with residents of different places of Great Britain. In a state of shock, after what happened, she agreed. Savil behaved as if nothing had happened.
At work, Susan spoke about what happened. “They just laughed at this,” she recalled. She did not contact the police - a few years before that Susan was already subjected to sexualized violence and informed the police about this, but this did not give any result.
A few years later, Susan met Savil in a park in Lids. She went up to him and asked if he remembered her. The host pretended to have never seen her.

In 1977, nine -year -old Scout Kevin Kuk came to the children's program of Savvil. Savil called him to his place and promised to personally hand over the program of the program. So Kevin got into the dressing room of Sevil. “He took off my shorts, and I sat there as if petrified. He told me: “Just try to tell someone. We know where you live,” Cook told reporters in 2023. After some time, another man joined Savil - Cook could not identify him. He also committed sexualized violence against the boy and beat him. “He was dressed in something like a shirt of the army or fleet. He had long hair tucked on the sides, and on the head of the bald head, although at that time he was not old - he looked 30 years old, ”Cook told reporters.
The next 35 years, he kept this story a secret. “I felt that it was my fault,” said Cook.
The talent will cover everything
On October 3, 2012, a documentary was released on the British ITV television channel, which forever changed the image of Sevil: several girls told that they were subjected to violence on his part. After the release of the film, other victims of the TV presenter also spoke. In addition, the authors of the film were able to confirm that the BBC leadership was known about the accusations against Sale, but they did not want to conduct a trial.
Soon the police began the investigation. The police interviewed 130 people, 114 of whom were potential victims. These people said that they were subjected to harassment and rape from the side of Savil in a variety of places, including in the working rooms of the BBC, as well as at his house and in his car, in hospitals and hospices, where he came as a volunteer. Among those who testified was even the grandchildren of Savvila Caroline Robertson - she was abused when she was 12 years old.
The internal investigation after the release of the ITV film began in the BBC. The work was entrusted to the independent expert Jenet Smith, who was a judge in the past. She was supposed to establish facts of sexualized violence committed by Savil from 1964 to 2007, when he worked on the TV channel.
The Smith group interviewed more than 700 people, including two high-ranking BBC employees. The interlocutors confirmed Smith that Savil often invited teenagers to his home after filming.
In 2013, police and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelment with Children published a report on the investigation of the crimes of Savvil. Their list included 214 crimes, including 34 rape.

By 2016, the Smith group established that among the 72 victims, Savil was raped during his work at the BBC, in one case there was an attempt to rape. The rest survived harassment from the host. Most of the cases occurred in the 1970s, when Savvil Velel Top of Pops Chart. Savil's youngest victim was an eight -year -old girl.
The investigation showed that the presenter has committed his crimes since the 1940s, when he was about 20 years old. At the same time, the BBC had at least five reasons to conduct an investigation and stop Savila, but the company did not use them.
Representing her report in 2016, Smith noted that in the BBC there was a strict hierarchy and subordinates reluctantly talked about what was happening, since they believed that this was not their task.
The BBC provided a popular presenter with many privileges that made him almost invulnerable-Smith came to this conclusion. At that time, there were almost no women in the BBC leadership, and if someone decided to talk about what had happened, in the television company they tried to hush up it.
Savila victims also pointed to other people in his environment involved in violence. In the same 2012, Rock musician Gary Glitter was arrested in London. Before that, a former student of a school for girls in Surrey said that she once saw how the musician had sex with another student of her school in the dressing room Savil in the BBC television center. In 2015, Glitter was sentenced to 16 years in prison on charges of rape, harassment and sexual relations with a girl under the age of 13 in the mid-1970s.
During the investigation, it turned out that Savil committed his crimes before work on radio and television.
Among his victims was a girl named Darien. She met Savil even in the years when he was a manager of dance parties in Lids. She was only 13 years old. He saw her in the crowd and called her under the pretext that she had no ticket. The host took her to his office, where he tried to rape. Without specifying the details, Darien said that nothing came of him.
After some time, he accidentally met Darien again and attacked her. Later, in an interview with reporters, she said that Death Savil became her pleasant news and that she would like to dance on his grave: “I think he was an incredibly smart person. He had no talent, but, in my opinion, he was one of the greatest manipulators, which allowed him to become who he became. "
Remove from the air
Savila could expose in the fall of 2011. At that time, the Ether of Newsnight, the main information and analytical television program of the BBC, was preparing an investigation about Savil-they began to prepare the program after journalists stumbled upon a woman named Karin Ward on the Internet, who participated in the Savila show in the 1970s, when she was 14 years old. Ward wrote about the experienced violence on the advice of her psychologist. The document mentioned the initials of Savvil.
“He wanted me to do some things for him so that I caress him, he invited me to have oral sex. I didn’t want to, but he promised that if I agree, he would invite me and my friends to the television center and to record the show, ”Karin Ward told Newsnight reporters. - I really wanted to visit television. I did not want to have oral sex with him, it was disgusting. But I did it. "
The program was removed from the air for unknown reasons. Journalists who worked on the material said that the editor Peter Rippon first caught fire, but gradually cooled to her.
One of the authors of the investigation Meirion Jones said that he warned Peter Rippon about the consequences of concealing the scandal. “I was sure that one way or another this story would come out, and then the BBC would be accused of covering,” Jones said after the release of the ITV film.
Liz McKin, another journalist who worked on the investigation, said that, by her impression, it was felt that they were crushed by Rippon. She noted that the focus of the trailer shifted from exposing the pedophilia of the national TV star, to analyze the reasons why the police had already rejected the complaints of several women against Savil.
Rippon, in turn, said that he considered the collected evidence insufficient, so he independently decided to cancel the release of the material. After the release of the ITV film, he was removed from work during the investigation, and according to the results of the investigation, he was transferred to another position, but he retained his work in the BBC.
Oblivion
In October 2012, the Savil family said that after listening to public opinion, they decided to remove the grave stone from the grave of Savvili in the cemetery of Scarborough.
The stone was removed on the night of October 9, so that, according to the Sevil family, “avoid the show” around this. “We thought that the most correct way to do it is quiet and in the dark,” said the organizer of the funeral of Savil's funeral.
The stone with the epitaph “everything was fine until it ended” delivered to the backyard of the house of the Savvil family in Lids, and then destroyed.
After the scandal in the Civil Hall of Lids, a commemorative board was removed in honor of Savvil, and a cafe in the Stoke Mandeville hospital, named after his honor, was renamed. Many institutions recalled honorary degrees and titles awarded to Savil.
At the end of December 2012, two charitable organizations related to Savil - The Jimmy Savile Charitable Trust and The Jimmy Savile Stoke Mandeville Hospital Trust, decided to close.
And the BBC promised that she would no longer repeat the broadcasts of the Top of the pops programs that Savil led.
