Thread Name: Obit: RIP Sir Jimmy Savile of BBC [2011]
Subject: RE: Obit: RIP Sir Jimmy Savile UK
Maybe not so easy when that person was a TV celebrity (or priest, or teacher) who used their position and infuence to sexually abuse you as a kid.

Still, what else is Mudcat here for? One of the remits on Google says Folklore Collection, which is precisely what we have here. Even when I was a kid Savile's sexual preferences were the subject of (detailed) playground speculation. With this in mind, here's a choice piece of such Savilelore which is doubly interesting as folklore as many people actually claim to remember the dialogue from broadcast. Warning: Do not read if easily offended.
