Making your own mind up is the best way to go. *shrug*

"Jim'll Fix It" was one of those Saturday evening staples that the whole family sat down to watch back in the day - I never did get round to writing in though!
Farewell to one of the last great British eccentrics - the world is a poorer place without the likes of Sir Jim

I saw him at several London marathons being carried between cameras by his minders only to run past the camera before being picked up again. Slightly sad to see, but he ran more of those marathons as an elderly man than I could as a 30-something year old!
The loss of an English eccentric.

So are you saying that he didn't actually do all of the 26.2 miles on his own feet?

So sad, he always said he wanted to live to 85 and it would've been his Birthday tomorrow! Close, but no Cigar Jimmy.

Sadly, yes.

So the claim of 212 marathons is false
I suppose he did 'do' 212 marathons but didn't exactly complete them.
Takes me back to my 2nd marathon in 2000 when I pulled up for very bad blisters on my feet.
St John advised me to take the bus back to Trentham Gardens that would be picking up the injured but no need to worry because they drop us 200 yards from the finish line and we can run in and get our medal
A couple of weeks later a woman work colleague argued with me that her husband had finished the marathon and got his medal even though he got took back from the 11 mile point.
No amount of 'but he didn't do 26.2 miles' would get into her brain.
What are you suggesting?
I did a 'basic' google search & see rumours about a girl called Sarah Cornley, but everything leads back to the same, unsubstantiated source.
Obviously I don't know any details other than this 'transcript' of HIGNFY, but I wouldn't start making your mind up based on unproven interweb stories.
RIP

Surely, since you can't libel the dead, if he was a dislikable character the stories/facts would already be surfacing?
Ah yes, but you're forgetting Jimmy Saville looked a bit 'strange'.
Internet detectives & the media will always go for that - just look at the Chris Jeffries (Jo Yeates landlord) debacle for that.
Again, RIP Jimmy.

It depends. If an injunction was in force about something which implicated him, if the injunction was there to protect others then there is no reason why it would be lifted or defunct.

The transcript on the web is largely made up and exaggerated. However, in the Jimmy/Diane Abbot episode back in 1999, Hislop did challenge (and it was broadcast) Jimmy about a court settlement he made with a minor, and Jimmy confirmed it. However, the episode or clips of the episode are no where to be found.
Funny that, I myself don't remember anything about the confirmation, and yet again there is no evidence available.
So let me get this right - there are allegations about a deceased celebrity that have no substantiated evidence/sources available at all, other than internet rumours. Go figure!
Let the man rest in peace ffs.
That HIGNFY script was a hoax (if it wasn't already blatantly obvious) - there is no 'Sarah Cornley' either AFAIK...
I agree - I wish people would stop posting opinions based on internet rumours.
Gets me down when someone has died & some people just want to **** all over their grave with worthless posts!
