wigi c Mar 2 In plain view! Glitter, Savile, the many more. Will we watch The Tate Brothers with our blindfolds on too? See more David F 12/23/2024 I thought this was going to be the thing with Alan Partridge, but it's a two-part documentary. It's fairly well-made, with the right balance of archive material and interviews with people who are actually relevant. I was expecting to see more talking heads, but it wasn't like that. The documentary also avoids the obvious "Eeh, 'ee were a monster" sort of reactions, and has some quite sad interviews with some of his victims, telling exactly what Savile did. Most of this is old news, but the thing that surprised me was the extent to which he had the police in his pocket. It also doesn't gloss over the fact that he was actually good at his job as a broadcaster. Well worth watching. See more Fifi d 11/13/2024 Terrible Terrible documentary....why spend most part of the documentary idolising this monster? and only talked about his awful crimes at the end of a 2 part series? totally useless and a waste of time..total rubbish See more R M 08/17/2024 Just in part one there was red flags given by his monster that should of been investigated by both the police and the company that employed him and the hospital I’ll give a little bit of credit to those who did questioned his involvement in the hospital and tried to do something to protect people from him . See more Gareth v @geewah 06/23/2023 It's in the second part that this mini-series picks up the pace in this compelling and disturbing tale of abuse, power & cover-ups. See more cconnelly1 10/04/2022 This series is not worth seeing whatsoever, by anyone. The big mystery here is why this strange, bizarre, egotistical, and self-aggrandizing man was ever so revered in the UK at all. I can see nothing remotely appealing about him, even before abuse allegations cane out. Most of the series concentrates on what a great guy all thought he was, how popular, how charitable all his endeavors. We barely hear about him finally getting outed for all his horrendous crimes, until way at the end of part 2. There is no reason to watch this documentary unless you want to get up close and personal with a disgusting person. 90% of this documentary is revolting footage of this man prancing around, mugging for the camera, eyes bugged out, being flippant with interviewers and basically getting away with anything he wanted to do, and anything he felt like saying. Stay away from this pointless show. See more Read all reviews
