I have just come home to Yorkshire, having been lucky enough to have spent the past week with a friend in the sunshine abroad.
Lots of reading and no TV. The perfect autumn tonic. So it has been a case of playing catch-up over the past couple of days with TV programmes that were always going to be a must-watch for me, no matter how grim. Both showed how two men’s vile actions should have been ended much, much sooner. Both are equally as depressing, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from them. They might have been fictionalised in part, but both were very real for me and for many others. And deeply personal.
He knew we would need time for all that went on, all that was portrayed to sink in. And to shake our heads and ask again how on earth was it allowed to happen. Jimmy Saville’s funeral was the darkest day in my career. I had met him many times over several decades. Was he ever inappropriate to me? No he wasn’t. He was smarmy and obsequious and sleazy but he never came near me, never even invaded my personal space.
