I'm not sure how much of it is true, but.....

The tone of writing is almost hysterical and so the content is barely credible as a result.

There also seems to be a ridiculous confusion between homosexuality and paedophilia.

Not really given that he is writing about paedophiles who happen to be homosexuals. I don't think he implies it is a gay issue exclusively. He's talking about the people of Jonathan Kings' ilk, not gay men in general.

Wasn't that Jerry Lee Lewis and it was his 12 year old cousin or something.

Correct. But it was perfectly legal in the state where they lived.
The fuss started when he wanted to bring her on tour to England.
He was banned from entering.

(The situation was not helped by the fact that his latest single was called "High School Confidential.")

Paul Merton was asked directly about the HIGNGY transcript on the radio yesterday. He said it's fake. Though he did say Savile was a little odd.

Last night's programme made for difficult viewing.

According to what I've been reading today, there will be at least one other 70's TV star sweating like f***.

Esther Rantzen says she knew about it but Savile was so powerful she didn't think there was much chance of convincing senior Beeb people about him. She was married to a senior Been official for god's sake, Desmond Wilcox!
I bet she's saying "Jim fixed it for me to get back on telly!"
I must admit Savile always came over as a bit creepy, but why wait until he can't answer back?

I don't know whether or not she knew about Jimmy Savile at the time (probably just knew the rumours) but to me she always appears desperate to still be on the telly. In the documentary I thought she demeaned the Savile paedophilia issue with overacting; presenting a reaction that would be more expected of someone who hadn't known the rumours for many years.

I'm not particularly fond of ER and if I'm honest that was my first thought too. But I'm beginning to think Saville had things over people in high places and to all intents and purposes *was* fireproof. I bet many people had threatened to expose him but were either intimidated out of it or were threatened with losing their jobs. And he wasn't alone was he? If he went down, several others would come down with him, so they probably ensured people were hushed up.

I now think most of these allegations are true and even if he can't face justice, the victims deserve to be heard.
