Neil M @hoolawd 1d Exceptionally long-winded and inexcusably boring slog considering subject matter. No sense of rhythm, pace, build, suspense, edge - zero art in the service of what could have been a fascinating multi-layered piece - the raw material was certainly there. Was there no production money left for an editor? As it is, tedious, bloated, repetitive, too-long-by two-thirds, bludgeoning the audience for well over two hours with point that the world’s most obvious creep was well-ensconced in the highest tiers of British culture, royalty: GOT IT! MADE YOUR POINT AN HOUR AGO YET HERE WE STILL ARE. Ninety punchy minutes would’ve easily gotten us there.

If you’re not from EU then this is an eye opening horror show about how a villain can hide in the spotlight like so many before but 100x worse. See more Samantha S. @SamanthaL Feb 3 Terrible. Never picks up, ultra vague. Weird British culture and intrigue. Makes me never want to see the UK again. See more wigi c @RT23089994 03/02/2025 In plain view! Glitter, Savile, the many more. Will we watch The Tate Brothers with our blindfolds on too? See more David F @RT34372367 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.
