"The most powerfull man in the (uk)WORLD"if you please LF
With Savile now gone,do NOT be suprised if the middle east turns into a huge battleground,not to mention NO-One to keep the lid on China and Russia,you think thought the world was heading for afinacial crisis BEFORE the great Golden Salamander died?

Ows about that then, wonder if the stories that people alluded to, will now come out
Poor old 'Becky Crook' - she would have loved to have done some muck-raking about the Great Man tomorrow.
Very odd, but he done a lot of good things, God Bless.
Who will fix-it now, no-one left like him, now then, now then, now then......

my dad who worked for the beeb told me that back in the 70"s jimmy had a caravan in the car park of the top of the pops studio"s where he"d entertain young ladies from the audience after the show
"When the caravan's rocking, don't come knocking" - sign often seen on door...!
Amazed he lasted that long given the cigars he smoked - RIP Mr Jim.
Just read the guys wiki page,jesus! what a life! not only the massive charity stuff but 100's of marathons,100's of bouts as a pro wrestler,pro cyclist and those awards he's been given over years?? "A friend of Israel" "A knight of Malta" and allsorts also he seems to have been an ever present at chequers,and "close" to the royal family.well connected for sure was old Jimmy.
A bit odd i guess but can't think of any of the so called rumours actaully really seeing the light of day even in the internet age? probs a load of old codswallop anyway.
No feelings for the old bloke either way but i'l wager he squoze ever drop of life out of his old body
rip you tough old b'stard

Some years ago when Fleet Street was still in Fleet Street I was told the tabloids were all over him and had found nothing.
Not nothing they could prove, but nothing.

Bought his first alcoholic drink when he turned 65. I doubt he inhaled those cigars mo.
"Some years ago when Fleet Street was still in Fleet Street I was told the tabloids were all over him and had found nothing.

I can believe that. I know he was odd, but probably done nothing his mother
"the duchess" would have been ashamed of.
He was about 2 days off from his 85th birthday. Had a good innings and a good life.

Sir Jimmy's now merged with the Force and become even more powerful than before
Somebody obviously does - 140 comments on the Beeb Website article and most of them have been removed by the mods !!
De mortuis nil nisi bonum. Quite happy to shaft the deserving dead. Perhaps those who trash him know more. We all have/had secrets. Mine is I hate you all.
Some of the tributes on the BBC page are quite poignant.
"He was just a complete one-off. I think he was a bit of a lonely character as well. In the privacy of his own life I don't think he had very many friends."
Sir Jimmy's charity work was a "two-way street", adding: "He didn't have a family as such and so when he took on a charity, that became his family.

apparently there were stories of child abuse that would not be published by the media due to possible litigation/libel, but I think now he is no longer alive, that barrier is removed, so expect some dirt to be thrown. Not that I believe it but it's gonna be in the public eye soon.
that aside, I grew up while he was on jim'll fix it, seemed like a saint to me. RIP.

erse2, we shall see. But note my posting above that the tabloids had looked (admittedly a few years ago) and found nothing. Note too that no victim came forward seeking compensation from a well-known and presumably wealthy man, or even £100,000 or whatever was the going rate from the News of the World.
People going on about Sir Jimmy like he was Michael Jackson or worse. There is not one shred of evidence to back up these unsavoury stories.
Sir Jimmy was a deeply compassionate man. He wasn't perfect but then show me someone who is.

Been a bad year for people that liked doing Marathons, G Waitz, A Jones, S Wanjiru, now J Saville. RIP them all.
Although he had this mad zany front and mixed with the top stars and royalty,
he died alone and was probably quite a lonely person in the end.
May he rest in peace. One of a kind.

I was always scared of him for some reason 
couldn't see what his popularity was about myself.

Has legendary DJ Jonathan King made any comment about the sad passing of Sir Jimmy?
met him once around 1990. He made a realy creepy comment abour the girl I was with. an unlikeable individual.
In the Kelvin Mckenzie era of tabloid journos ie "anything went" they tried to do a job on Savile,various red tops engaged their finest snoops and they did indeed dig deep,yet basically found diddly squat,they had nowt to run a story with.Anne Robinson and also Piers Morgan have mentioned this story as well when they were Daily Mirror editors.
A bit odd for sure but as the tributes flood in from royalty downwards dj Nicky Campbell sums up things up rather well with this
Sir Jimmy Savile-a man so unique,a character so extrodinary,a personality so facinating yet impenetrable,you could not have made him up.

In fairness there was more than enough to bring him to trial and quite how he got off that is anyones business,and gawd knows how much hush money he paid out ove rthe yrs.
Personally thought jacko was probs never a practicing nonce,and i doubt he had a bad bone (ooer) in his body yet still it has to be said the jesus juice seemed to flow freely in certain quarters.

In fairness to Jackson who wouldn't pay some kid $7m to shutup,seems perfectly reasonable when you are innocent of showing them your c0ck.
Imagine if Sir Jimmy had paid off a family to stop a court case for paedophilia? Doubt he'd have a Knighthood and Prince Charles singing his praises.
There's me waiting for weeks for a celeb to die so I can post a joke about it...
But Jim fixed it for me.

i meet him a couple of time......not my favourite person...but.....RIP
The irony is, as some forumites have hinted, that besides Savile's remarkable work for charity, he was not really a particularly good television presenter.
He was that bullseye target of the tabloids, someone who's a bit odd yet hugely successful. I'm sure if there was anything remotely dubious about him they'd have gone after him all guns blazing. I can believe that he was socially awkward and arrogant, but that nobody seems to have stuck the book in since his death and all sorts have come out to commend him.
I thought he was a very good TV presenter, especially on fix it.
I was listening to Radio Leeds this morning. They had a phone in about Sir Jimmy.
As it was a Leeds progrmme obviously many had met him, usually when he was donating his time to hospital duties at St James Hospital. Nobody had anything bad to say about him.
One chap said that he bumped into Jimmy in the lift after he had been visting his mother who had not long to live. Jimmy asked which ward his mother was on.
Next time he visited his mother she told him that Jimmy had spent half an hour with her.

The telegraph obitituary sums him up at the end..... 'he was simply an odd chap'

Jimmy Saville perhaps well illustrates something we are (IMO) foolish in not accepting - that morality is complex, we can fail in some areas and succeed in others. The best American presidents have often been the worst of family men.
His findings in the Bloody Sunday enquiry were b011ocks though.
Not as odd as Cliff Richard, couldn't imagine him doing much charity work.
I live in Roundhay Leeds very near Jimmys flat,saw him on a regular basis on his runs,he was also a regular in many of the upmarket resturants in the area with his entourage in attendance, I actually sat on the same table as Jimmy at a curry house with my wife and had a pleasant conversation with him.
Long tribute on Look North now huggy.
His friends, about 16 of them are meeting up for a meal tonight at Jimmy's favourite Roundhay restaurant.

Im starting to worry about what was in the bottle of that fat kid on the rollercoaster.
whats wrong with entertaining young ladies in a caravan at the back of the totp studio, if they were over 16. and im certain from the tv i used to see the prog on i didnt see very young girls in the crowd.

A predatory man who was clearly extremely adept at getting what he wanted in many respects. He had the last laugh as so many still appear to cling to his public persona. What chance did any kid have to bring this into the open ?

Funny thread, making full use of hindsight, and in the not too distant past! 4 out of 5 stars.
Just gone back & looked at the thread & this takes the biscuit, not because what this person has written has proved to be completely wrong but making a statement as though they 100% know what he was like !

Sir Jimmy has done more for charity than there is time to list. A hugely compassionate man his work at Stoke Mandeville hospital is well known but he also has links with Broadmoor Hospital. During his life Sir Jimmy has indulged himself on a scale most people can only begin to imagine. He has no recollection of ever visiting a children's home in Jersey. Sir Jimmy's lawyers are the very best.

Huggy and his Mrs sat next to him in a Curry House , Hopefully Huggy not his mrs was Next to him
Huggy's had a rough time nof it. Don't see him much these days although he keeps popping in occasionally.
Absolute classic I knew he wasva wrong un when I was 13/14 me and my mates used to joke about it at school,unbelievable even at that age it was blatantly obvious and remember my parebnts saying hoq creepy he was,ffs he was hanging round with tory mps..
Just read through this entire thread and this is one reason I don't subscribe to RIP threads, as if we know them... we simply don't!
A pleasant episode of 'To the Manor Born' ruined.
