    Like Louis a lot, but he knew what was what. Everyone did.

      Respectfully, he and no one else did. He had heard rumours but people like Savile are just very, very good at hiding what they do. Watch Louis’s original Savile documentary - he constantly plays a character (the catchphrases, the cigar, the jewellery, the tracksuit), avoiding personal questions, using the distraction technique of appearing knowingly weird to avert any further interrogation. People like Savile choose victims who won’t speak up and even if they did they wouldn’t be believed, they zone in on vulnerable and/or previously neglected children for that reason. Savile’s avoidance of prosecution was more down to his targeting of the vulnerable, ingratiating himself with top policeman and the famous plus his charity work rather than any grand conspiracy. He surrounded himself with the influential & did charitable works solely to combat any accusations that may come his way. That’s something he constructed with no help from anyone else or any conspiracy. Please remember that a conspiracy requires many people with knowledge of wrongdoing choosing to say nothing for years and that’s very, very unlikely. People aren’t deliberately saying nothing to protect a wrong ‘un. Although it feels dreadful to give him any credit for anything Savile was very, very good at covering what he did. No conspiracy of silence needed.

      @@stephenhough4957 Everyone at the BBC knew. Look how many people made jokes about it on actual panel shows. It was an open secret.
      Louis had to know that, he was in with the bricks at the BBC, and so was his girlfriend at the time and all his friends.
      If he didn't know, why does he ask him the left-field question about whether he is or he isn't what the allegations suggested? he asks it out of nowhere, and Saville answers 'that's why i don't have a computer'.
      the whole thing stinks
