Storyline

- TriviaThis documentary features surviving archive sequences from the "Top of the Pops", "Clunk Click", and the now infamous "Jim'll Fix It", in additional to extracts from other programmes Jimmy Savile appeared in. Due to the nature of the BBC's video archiving policy up to 1978, wiping and re-using the original master tapes, many of the video extracts are from lower grade recordings, most likely VHS home recordings. The means that the documentary has a lot of grainy video material, that at multiple points causes the Netflix stream to pixelate mostly during certain image edits.

Featured review
The title is fitting
This story is a National tragedy of the British entertainment scene. This documentary tells the story of the rise and posthumous fall of one of Britain's top entertainers for 5 decades. Jimmy Savile was an odd man who managed to keep much of his personal life out of the press and the source of much speculation. He controlled his image and he did many great things for people in need. But there was a dark side that was hinted at but eventually surfaced. Some things that were unclear was whether his good deeds were the vehicle to hide the bad or to ease his conscience. It is also unclear to what extent people looked the other way. Why is clear is his fame gave him access to do unspeakable things to innocents. This story parallels Bull Cosby' sin many ways. Told through interviews, footage, and narration it is good. It could have been a movie Instead of two parts but there was such a long history of footage I guess it makes sense.
