As I said a few pages back you can find the whole book on the net.
My uncle by marriage was born and brought up in Scarborough and went to school with Jimmy Corrigan and Peter Jaconelli and would socialise with them all the time so I can only suppose JS was one of his "mates". He used to brag all the time about his well connected friends but I was only about 18 at the time so could not care less.
Corrigan and Jaconelli feature in the book and we often wonder if my uncle was one of them but nobody here now to tell us.

I've said on here before that JS mates certainly did know what he was upto. My hairdressers best friend started going out with one of his friends then when she realized what they were all upto she got out sharpish and didn't see the guy anymore. Everyone knew locally, that he liked very young girls and was a pervert but not that he was abusing on an industrial scale.
I have a couple of friends who went to a restaurant near Roundhay for their first date. Jimmy was sat at a table in the corner and a girl, about 16 was in the seat beside the wall and he was sat so close that there was no way she could make a break for it. They asked the waiter if the girl was OK but he shrugged and said "probably". They really didn't know what to do after that and still feel awful 20 years on that they didn't do anything else.
He used to go in the Flying Pizza a lot on Street Lane. My Mums work friends daughter who was 16 went out with him a couple of times and his friends to restaurants around Roundhay. If a friend of mine who was a man was taking out a girl in their teens I would think something was very off and weird. Anyway, she went back to his place in Roundhay Park and he stroked her leg saying he could get her into showbiz etc... She didn't meet up with him again after that. Her parents IMO shouldn't have let her go. I would have known what that was all about.
peodos charm and groom parents, (so they proberbly had no idea what he was capable of) and children( especially teens) don't always tell there parents who they are seeing and where there going,or whats really going on. the fact she never saw him again after him touching her leg,speaks volumes,means he did or tried something that frightened her enough to stay well away from him.!
The young girl just thought he was a very lonely old man, not that he was after anything else. I don't think he really met the parents properly as he didn't want to stay in the street long as he was in a Rolls Royce? and didn't want attention. I hear what you are saying though. Its the cult of celebrity as well that attracts people. Hopefully nothing worse than that really happened, although obviously its bad and upsetting for anyone to have their leg stroked etc.
youngsters and parents would be starstruck and parents would not dream an older, well known charitable celebrity was a sick pervert,its the age old story, hindsight is a wonderful thing, unfortunally, it happens after an event. and you will always have some people (even faced with the evidence) will not believe it. hope the girl is ok x
Parents were being naive then. When was he ever not creepy as all duck? He terrified me as a child in the 80s.
The fact he openly told people he despised children yet got onto childrens tv
Just watching saville: portrait of a predator. It's on ITV hub.
That opening scene of him in the Rolls Royce driving through rubble strewn streets is f*cking well disturbing.
Awful and that poor teenager that took her own life, so sad.
I'm ploughing my way through the book, it's very intense and long but I had no idea of most of the details it goes into, as if the details I knew already weren't bad enough 
He was an absolute bleeping monster.

I bought the book but am waiting to be in the right mental state to read it!I'm ploughing my way through the book, it's very intense and long but I had no idea of most of the details it goes into, as if the details I knew already weren't bad enough
He was an absolute bleeping monster.
It definitely needs that!!!
I'm appalled and slightly agog that the BBC are making this thing with Steve Coogan. It's seriously distasteful. Everyone knows the BBC aided and concealed Savile's crimes! Why would they want people to make the continued connection - do they think they're going to rewrite history?
I don't know why Steve Coogan would want to associate himself with this project.

This in the Mail today about the filming of the BBC mini-series on Savile.

Steve Coogan transforms into paedophile presenter Jimmy Savile
55-year-old Steve Coogan's eerie transformation into paedophile presenter Jimmy Savile appeared complete on Sunday.
I can only imagine that they want to get their version of the story out before anyone else does it and hammers them.
