Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A TV mini-series drama about the disgraced late TV personality Jimmy Savile. BBC One will tell the story of Savile's rise to fame, and the sexual abuse scandal that emerged after his death. This mini-series aims to respectfully give a voice to Savile's 500+ sexual abuse victims, while also helping us understand why a man like Jimmy Savile seemed to remain immune for so long to proper scrutiny and criminal investigation.

| Crazy Credits | Introductory captions at the beginning of each episode: "Jimmy Savile died on October 29th 2011, aged 84. / In the course of his life he became one of the most celebrated radio and TV personalities in Britain, and used his extensive charity work to place himself at the very heart of the most important institutions in our society. / This drama examines how he was able to hide in plain sight, using his positions to commit countless serious sexual offences, many against minors, and how the voices of so many were ignored and silenced."
