Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story

This is a very uncomfortable viewing, and sensitivity is key. Many of us in the UK have been very aware of Saville (although I was never a fan or viewer of any of his shows), and the revelations that came out shocked the country in so many ways. This documentary in my opinion covers it all very well, and respectfully.

There are a number of talking heads, and as much as many claim their own failings in more speedily bringing to light the truth, there are still so many questions to ask.

It goes without saying what Saville was & will be seen as. It's a tragedy (to put it mildly) that he got away with it all in life.

This documentary is possibly the best I've seen on it. The Louis Theroux documentaries previously also covered it as best as possible. There's still a lot to know BUT more importantly learn from to ensure we are all knowledgeable about what happened to avoid anyone else pulling the wool over our eyes too.

To the victims, my full respect to you, and I wish you all the strength in the world.

A long winded build up to finally revealing the horrors Jimmy Savile wreaked during his lifetime. The interviews were relevant, good use of archival footage, and the doc flowed easily.

I felt documentary was just so so. There was a lot talking about Jimmy savile,basically took all time of documentary and it was very little time dedicated to victims.

It felt very rushed at the end.

Started very slow and rushed at the end. I don't think it shown more, than was already known from newspapers and Internet articles.

Nothing special about this documentary.

A two part documentary exposing the rise and posthumous fall of the former DJ, and prolific predator, Jimmy Savile.

The first part deals with his beginnings, where he came from, his charity work, the circles he moved in, the second, is a lot more intense, it deals with the real man underneath the cigar smoking facade.

I'm stunned how it wasn't seen by everyone, the revelations are shocking, and the accounts of his victims are truly horrific.

It's a very well made documentary, it's incredibly uncomfortable viewing, but it is interesting, shocking to believe how such things happened.

Creepier than anything, shame on those that facilitated his behaviour, and allowed it to happen. It would have been easy to say, I don't want to watch it, he makes my skin crawl, I just wanted to understand how it could happen.

Andrew Neal did at least try to take him to task.

A shocking story, 8/10.

This documentary is 240 mins and divided into 2 episodes. It is only the final act of this documentary they talk about the actual sexual exploits. The entire show is a build up to the last 25 mins which actually deals with what happens.

Its one of those doco's where a person will come on and say, "You would hear these things, but you wouldn't believe it.... but deep down. I knew!". This goes on for everyone who comes on the show. It's really laughable.

So, I would say, don't watch it. Watch a YouTube video which deals with this topic. I will also say, it is just a Netflix thing to stretch out shows and this was really stretched out. You might find your attention wandering.
