About this episode
For decades, TV presenter Jimmy Savile was idolised as a national treasure in Britain. But the power and adoration Savile enjoyed was matched only by his perversions and depravity...
He was knighted, awarded an OBE, he rubbed shoulders with royalty, prime ministers and he ruled the roost at the BBC. Savile also raised millions for charity, for which he was rewarded with the literal keys to hospitals and children's homes across the country.
In part 1 of this 2 part series, Hannah and Suruthi explore the truth behind Jimmy Savile's eccentric facade, delve into his secretive childhood and ask why no one stopped this monstrous predator.
