Jimmy Savile - Sexual Predator

I'm happy to pay... £10-15 a month is nothing considering what the BBC offers across the board. And remember, not all that money is just for the BBC. Some of it is for general broadcasting infostructure etc.

A lot of programs the BBC offers I fear would vanish if advertising came about...

Badcompany, which other TV broadcaster/creative house has create anything close to the BBC's nature documentaries (from things like the blue planet and Planet Earth type series to the Volcano Live and How Earth made us style series). The only program that was close that I have seen is March of the Penguins, a feature film!

why is because they are not popular enough to attract advertising?

pay a inferstructure fee but not fund the programming they current do it should be made to stand on merit not on the back of a compulsory tax

No, because they wouldn't have the ability to spend several tens of millions on a show that takes several years to film when that same money could make 5 years worth of Coronation street... So I assume you are suggesting the BBC should go private and scrap all the documentaries for cheap soaps and reality TV? Due to it being government controlled (because of the TV Licence) the BBC has a legal remit to provide some types of programs others do not. Channel 4 is the other Public broadcasting channel, unfortunately it doesn't get the same money from the Licence Fee and has to rely on advertising revenue meaning it does some good documentaries but nowhere on the same scale as the BBC.

BBC iPlayer is where it's at. Pick the best and ignore the dross, and best of all it's quick, free and free from adverts that mean I don't even contemplate watching the other terrestrial on demand players.

When I lived in Germany it was around 150 Euros, and the channel selection was a lot worse than we get on Freeview. I just looked now and it's gone up to €215 since I left. We have it good here, believe me.

When I lived in Belgium, we paid about 100 Euros/year and got over 40 channels.
This was back in the days before Freeview, when there was a whopping 5 channels to choose from here
 
340, absolutely unbelievable.

Wonder how many of those are just in it for the money since he's now brown bread.

"Jimmy looked at me funny" [*claim tiem*]

There is one on Daytime saying he had his hand on her thigh while she sat on his lap while they were filming his TV show.

"It was on my leg just a fraction too long".

Thats not being molested love, sorry.

Its quite clear there are a lot of sad desperate people out there looking to make a name for themselves now off the back of other peoples misery.
 
Amazing how many of them are saying " groped ", then they say as you lot said above " he had his hand on my shoulder abit to long, or leg "

Women, sigh.

Me thinks ££££££££££ is involved

I too feel I can judge a situation based on a glorified 2 minute day time interview segment with a member of the public.

Of course, when asked if he went any further it was just 'He had his hand on my shoulder just a little bit too long'.
Yeah, I think I can judge that situation thank you.
However, let's not forget the women with proper claims of which I'm sure there's many.

I Hope she and the many others like her gets laughed out of court

Bet she doesn't though...

real victims deserve justice but people like lessen their chances
 
Now you mention it I'm suddenly recalling a bad experience with Jimmy! :D On a serious note I also think this is all money orientated, quite like the whole Michael Jackson victims that popped up.

Difference being Jackson was a multi-millionaire and alive whilst Savile is dead and poor.

I don't why people keep bringing up money, where are all these victims supposed to be getting it from? I think lots of people massively over-estimate how much the newspapers are prepared for an old story (which it is now) as well.

Anyone willing to put themselves in the public eye claiming they have been abused for a few quid would be sicker than Savile.

Do you read the news, they're talking about suing the bbc, nhs etc.

There's loads of the, he held my shoulder to long, or i was sat on his lap and he had his hand on my thigh. Sod off you money grabbing idiots, you weren't groped or sexually assaulted. You shouldn't be on the bandwagon, especially as there's talk of underage sex.

And don't forget paedo Jackson made two multi million payouts to hush families up and America had to change their laws so he couldn't do it again.
It just so happened that at his next big case he was found innocent OF THAT ACCUSATION.
Jury members said they had no choice to find him innocent even though some of them thought he had done things with other kids.
 
oh dear. looks like it's all true then.

a compensation walloping for the BBC it looks like.

internal investigation given the go ahead.

...and let's not forget in the most famous of those cases the kid has now come forward and admitted the allegations were fabricated (under pressure from his father).
