Back in the '70s, everything sucked. There was no Internet, for one thing. The music was crap, the fashions made you look like a faggy little homosex and the closest thing you got to the vidya was some bleepy-bloopy table tennis shit. Your mom was still kinda hot, though. I mean, if you're into that sorta thing.
In any case, there's little argument that the '70s was shit. Something needed to come along and fill the void and bring the lulz.
And, in a little country called Great Britain, that thing was a man named Jimmy Saville.
History
Sir James Wilson Vincent Savile, OBE, KCSG (October 31st, 1798 - October 29th, 2011) was born into abject poverty as the youngest child of a working class Catholic family in the small Northern town of Leeds (Yorkshire, England). Jimmy was a conscripted miner during the war (as opposed to after it, when he merely conscripted minors, amirite?) before someone set him up the bomb and he suffered spinal injuries in an explosion. Some argue that Jimmy may well have been molested by Creepers during his time in the mines, which may have inspired his crimes in later life, but few can say for sure.
Savile went on to become a professional cyclist and (like most paedos and other assorted sick fucks) a wrestler before eventually settling into the vocation that made him famous, that of the radio disc jockey.
As a pioneer of the 'youth music' scene in the early years of the "Naughty '40s" it has been said that "Jimmy", as he came to be known to his audience, was in fact the world's first 'disc jockey' as he would often utilise two vinyl-record players and a microphone at the functions he attended to showcase the latest chart breaking sounds, thereby creating a seamless flow of music for the dancing masses. Savile eventually left radio, presumably because of the lack of children, and went to work in the more exciting, dynamic world of youth television, notably hosting the BBC's Top of The Pops and Jim'll Fix It over a number of decades. This was an environment that naturally welcomed him, being as he was a tall, thin, eccentric single man with long, wispy white hair and a big chin, forever clad in a golden tracksuit, chomping on a big cigar, who didn't look or act at all like a someone who shouldn't be left alone around children.
In a cunning bit of IRL trolling, Savile increased his goodwill in the British consciousness by embarking upon a ceaseless flow of charitable work, raising tens of millions of pounds with which he assisted and sometimes created children's charities, children's hospitals and associated children's research-fellowships, along with a number of children's "outward-bound" centres and community-centres for children. Savile continued in seeming defiance of his constant intake of trademark Cigars™ to run marathons into his dotage and even after his death in October 2011 charitable organisations benefited from his work. In 1972 he was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) and in 1990 was knighted (Knight Bachelor) "for charitable services" by Queen Elizabeth II. In the same year he was also honoured by Pope John Paul II with a Papal knighthood making him a Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Gregory the Great (KCSG). In 2011 after a short period of illness Savile passed away and was buried in Woodlands Cemetery, Scarborough, facing out to sea as per the instructions of his will. The United Kingdom shed a collective tear for old "Jim"...

The Auction
In order to raise yet more funding for worthwhile causes Jimmy's personal possessions were put up for public auction, bids for which could be made online. The selection was diverse ranging from a half-smoked cigar and some matches to a Rolls Royce Corniche which Savile had nicknamed "The Beast". Many lots sold in excess of their reserve, the car itself raised one-hundred and sixty-thousand pounds ($257,292.00), by the close of bidding the total accrued was in the region of three-hundred and twenty-thousand pounds ($514,595.00).

One Year Later...
Shortly after the above video came out in June, 2012, on the 10th of October 2012 persons acting on behalf of Savile's estate attended his burial-plot in order to remove and then destroy the elaborate £4000 gravestone before hauling it off to be used as landfill. This seemingly incongrous act took place, according to his surving family, "out of respect to public opinion" following a number of allegations being made in relation to gross sexual-impropriety involving minors which had taken place whilst Savile had been pioneering the 'youth music' scene in the early days of the "Naughty 40's", whilst he had been an ever popular radio and television presenter over a number of decades and also whilst assisting and sometimes creating children's charities, children's hospitals, associated children's research-fellowships, children's "outward-bound" centres and community-centres for children. Not long after the demolition of his memorial Savile's body was exhumed and now lies in an unmarked pauper’s grave.

Glory Days
From humble beginnings Savile's career was soon to blaze a meteoric trail taking his 'unique stylings' from the small dance halls and discos of Yorkshire to the heady sphere of national and, by virtue of Network-employment and Government endorsment, international attention attaining a level of trust seldom placed in any one figure outside of religious idolatry.

From 1964–1984 Savile was the face of Top of The Pops, a popular weekly televised countdown of the latest 'Top 10' musical releases. Making him (sort of) the British Dick Clark. It has been alleged that Jimmy throughout his tenure as host preyed upon teenaged members of the studio-audience and witnesses now claim that he was the head of an "inner circle" of abusers, a number being members of the production team, including a camera-man.

Clunk Click
Following the success of Top of The Pops, another show fronted by Savile was commissioned, Clunk Click, where Savile interviewed a load of old dinosaur pop stars that you've never heard of, surrounded by a handpicked bevy of teenage lovelies.
Here's a clip of the show, in which Savile invites a certain other well-known paedo to sample two of his audience.
And here's a charming audio recording of Savile backstage with a young fan...
In 1988 then health-minister Edwina Currie appointed Savile chairman of a taskforce who were charged with responsibility for the countries most notorious maximum-security mental-health facility, HMP Broadmoor after the entire management board had been suspended by the Department of Health following a series of strikes. Despite having no expertise in mental heath Jimmy rose to the challenge and came to develop a friendship with Peter "The Yorkshire Ripper" Sutcliffe, inmate and convicted rapist and multiple-murderer of women. West London Mental Health NHS Trust, which now runs the hospital, believes Jimmy's involvement as a volunteer at Broadmoor began in the late 1960s or early 70s. He had become "part of the furniture", been given an office in the grounds, a bedroom which he referred to as his "cell" and his own personal set of keys to the hospital wards. It is alleged that Savile, whilst acting in the role of "voluntary assistant entertainments officer", had been using his position to abuse inmates; repeatedly raping young female patients beneath a stage in the hospital and fondling breasts within the ward areas.

Jim'll Fix It
Jim'll Fix It was a television programme conceived by the enterprising Jimmy as a convenient way of enabling him to contact supple young lolis and shotas in the days before the advent of chatrooms and Habbo Hotel. Every week, because there was literally nothing better to do, hundreds of thousands of children from all over the country would send in letters to the show, asking if Jim would 'fix it' for their wishes to come true.
This programme was about as boring as it sounds with kids wanting to meet their favorite celebrity or become an astronaut, although, admittedly, the one episode where the scout troop wrote in to ask if Jimmy could fix it for them to have their packed lunches on a rollercoaster was, undeniably, really fucking funny.
Just look at that one fat little motherfucker's face. Still trying to shove in a bit more of his donut. Greedy little bastard.
In any case, the children would send in their letters, ensuring that they enclosed their name, address and telephone number, and if they were lucky (and attractive) enough, Jim'll, as he was affectionately known, would contact them and arrange for their wish to be granted on national television, as well as for them to recieve their very own, highly sought after 'Jim'll Fix It' medallion. Of course, unbeknownst to them and, indeed, the rest of the world at large, all this came with a price...
Catchphrases
In addition to his famous yodel, Savile was also the creator of several popular old memes, including:
- Now then, now then...
- Guys and gals
- 'Owsabout that then?
- Jangle jangle, jewellery jewellery
- As it 'appens...
- Goodness gracious!
- It's alright, I'm on the telly.
- If you tell anyone I'll fucking kill you.
Operation: Yewtree
That anyone so prominently active in the public eye for so long could have had the time, energy and opportunity to engage in multiple protracted liasons with underaged children of both genders, defile numerous corpses and establish, operate then masterfully conceal for so long a covert cabal of predatory pederasts is, if true, a disturbing indication of Man's apathy towards his fellow-man. Conversely it could also be cited as a resounding testament to one man's spirit of endeavour. Savile publicly stated that he did not own a computer on the basis that "everybody would say that he was looking at porn on it". His interpretation of 'acceptable' pornography would later be questioned after he described close friend Gary Glitter being jailed in Vietnam for child sex offences as "a lot of fuss over some mucky videos".
On the 28th of October 2012 Metropolitan police arrested and then later bailed Glitter as part of their ongoing investigation which encompasses in the region of three-hundred potential victims and over four-hundred lines of enquiry.
On the 1st of November 2012 Freddie Starr (Frederick Leslie Fowell), a further formerly popular British entertainer, was arrested and bailed by police following a strand of their investigation classed as "Savile and others". Starr, having been publicly implicated in the Savile scandal in the month leading up to his arrest, vehemently denied any responsibility for the molestation of a fourteen-year old female within a dressing-room during the recording of an episode of Clunk Click and made his feelings in relation to the allegation clear to the numerous journalists and photographers encamped outside his Warwickshire mansion by threatening to attack them before then utilising his own vehicle to ram another owned by an attending reporter.
