Part two of Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story opens with the infamous DJ looking for Nessie at Loch Ness, but the only monster to be seen is the one behind the telescope. After pussy-footing around in part one by telling us about Savile's rise to fame and his powerful friends but nothing about his crimes, this episode finally delves into the man's deviancy: the stories of sexual abuse and rape that were only confirmed after his death.
The problem with this documentary is that one still feels like there is so much more of the story to tell. I remember hearing all kinds of rumours about Savile's behaviour when the story first hit, some which went way beyond that shown here, and I have no doubts that much of it was true. Director Rowan Deacon not only steers clear of certain allegations but also fails to investigate those who were guilty of befriending and protecting Savile over the course of several decades, presumably because it is still considered dangerous to do so (Savile had so many friends in high places).
Maybe in the future someone will have the cojones to tackle the subject properly.
3.5/10, rounded up to 4 for the appropriate use of Gill Sans for the title and captions.
