Jimmy Savile. Well, there's a lot of people coming out of the woodwork, so I thought I should do too.
I confess I always thought the worst of him, based on nothing but his public persona, let alone what he got up to in private.
Throughout long years of my working on newspapers, when he was a ubiquitous celebrity, Savile was one of those names you had to know the correct spelling of. Was it Savile or Saville? I always remembered it by the fact that the last syllable of his name was "vile".
For some reason, that always worked for me.
