How do you know Big Daddy was a abuser too?? Not saying i think he is not just i also think the same!
They've arrested a man in his 70's in Cambridgeshire today - is it only the prols they're naming? Very naive question, but it confounds belief that we're not seeing the naming and/or arrests of all those other alleged perps, about whom the police have received direct allegations from victims.

I can still remember the extra excitement that a visit from 'Daddy' would bring to the live shows. Yet in reality, he was a distinctly unpleasant man. His carefully portrayed image as the 'friend of the children' was far from the truth, and he would always ignore and push past the adoring kids who gathered around him, as though they weren't there... until the occasional months when ITV were in attendance, recording for World of Sport, when of course he magically became their best pal... well until the cameras stopped rolling anyway. He was even worse after the shows... I was always hungry to obtain autographs at the end of the evening, but after several attempts, gave up on the ignorant Daddy as he ritually brushed past me month after month as though I didn't exist. **** I didn't write this but somone did who loved wrestling and looked up to Big daddy as a child!

Someone stuck his This is your life on youtube. The start is missing and there is a technical problem part way through the second part, but all the same its quite something.
Numerous 'interesting moments'. Occasions where he is clearly pooping himself/making jokes about what people might say, several instances of intimidation especially towards women. A story about 'falling out of his cot' and being unconscious for months (brain injury would certainly fit some of his behavioural inclinations, especially a loss of inhibition).
And yes Alan Franey is there, as one of his 4 jogging mates. Contrary to the rumour he was not introduced as Savile's business manager, but Franey did show some intimacy towards him.
Thatcher sends her regards, as do Bill Wyman and Frank Bruno.

I'm still trying to find this Freddie Starr documentary.
This review of it from 2001 is interesting though.
http://www.ciao.co.uk/Channel_4_Freddie_Starr_Ate_My_Hamster__Review_5145996
"Last Sunday I noticed they were showing a profile of the comedian Freddie Starr on Channel 4 television at 9.20. I was really pleased about this, as i have always found him really funny.
It started off by showing Freddie at home, in Spain, by his pool, looking pleasant, suntanned and his normal cheeky little self.
The first thing he did when one of the lady producers came along was push her straight into his swimming pool remark that her nipples had gone hard, put his thumb in his mouth and say mummy i want feeding, at that stage I must admit the grin was still on my face.
However, as the programme unfolded a really nasty, ugly story of his past was disclosed. I had various bits of press about him in the past and not really taken it on board.
Television producers and executives were testifying and saying that they would never ever work with him again due to his apalling treatment and behaviour. Family were saying that they were scared stiff of him, in fact he actually attacked his own son, then blamed him and said he wanted no more to do with any of them, even other entertainers did not want to know him any more.
A newspaper reporter had been attacked by him in quite a violent outburst by Freddie.
Quite honestly I was totally shocked. He always came over as a cheeky lovable talented loveable little fella, but having watched that programme and seen the other side of him I can understand why he is in the position he is in now, which is basically nobody wants to know him or work with him any more.
Russ Abbott the comedian said that Freddies trouble is, that he sticks with his old routines and will not learn anything new, and this is why he does not get offered any more TV work, but quite honestly I think it is his obnoxious behaviour and attitude towards everybody to do with television. I think that his material maybe a bit dated but I still think he is a very talented guy.
I know perhaps we shouldnt let peoples personal lives influence us over their performance and talent, but this behaviour was inflicted on pratically everyone he came accross.
I think it is very tragic, and at the end of the programme he made it look all the more tragic. He has ended up very bitter because his TV career is over, despite the fact that I think it was self inflicted, because he did a sort of speech where he said that all comedy on TV these days was crap and all the good comedians had died and comedy on British TV was now over, he mentioned Big Brother, which is obviously a scene stealer, but he did not mention good people that are still performing good comedy on our sets right now, like Jasper Carrott, Ben Elton, Jack Dee, Eddie Izzard, to name but a few. He even laid a wreath to mourn the death of British Comedy.
I saw a very sad, twisted, bitter man, an aggresive manic man who admitted that, even after delivering good comedy he could go off and cry, he was so miserable in reality.
I know I shall still laugh when I see some of his sketches and enjoy his impersinations from the TV archives, but believe me I was very shocked to see this man for what he really was, I could cry."

If anyone is interested in the early club scene side of Savile, this blog post may be of interest:

Its not afraid of hyperbole and may be sloppy with some other details but it's still kind of interesting.

First comment after that Sumpplug article :
Hard to disagree, well worth a read.

Should be a healthy market for one about the Yorkshire/Northern scene at least, judging by that blog.
