Curated by: I Could Murder A Podcast (109 videos)
Jimmy Savile was one of the most recognisable faces on British television, a tireless charity worker and larger-than-life public figure... But behind the eccentric persona lay one of the most horrific legacies in UK history. In this episode, Tom, Ben and Dan explore how Savile manipulated his way through British institutions, from the BBC to hospitals and schools, for over five decades. They investigate how rumours were ignored, power was abused, and victims were silenced. From his early days in Leeds to becoming a national treasure, and the posthumous unravelling of his crimes, this case is a sobering look at institutional failure and the consequences of unchecked celebrity. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 – Viewer Discretion 04:46 – Early Life in Leeds 15:50 – Jim’ll Fix It & Public Persona 20:22 – Rise to Untouchable Status 26:23 – Timeline Begins 30:04 – Access to Hospitals & BBC 42:05 – Death & The Unravelling Scandal 50:00 – Operation Yewtree Launched 64:20 – Case Close & Outro Subscribe for more!
