BBC's Newsnight discussed the Jimmy Savile affair this evening.
One of the panelists, broadcaster Vanessa Feltz, said that 'back then' people had the idea one had to be a 'great person' to be on the tele.
Kevin Marsh, a former BBC editor, said he did not know, though he had heard rumours.
Jimmy Savile was important, well known, greatly respected by people inpower and with authoirty. People refused to heed and listen to the little ones.
History repeats itself just as institutions copy each other.
Gosh. Leave it at 'gosh' for now.
