Always thought that Saville was a gem due to his charity work but recently unearthed info on his personal life leaves me with a less than positive impression of the man.
This guy was way ahead of his time. He was wearing tracksuits & bling 40 years before the rappers. He was also the first DJ to use a twin turntable & unlike the young stars of today, he gave far more than he ever took. He was much derided for daring to be himself & different from the norm. What a great character. Another slice of my childhood gone.
We'll remember Jimmy Savile as an "eccentric," but I think it was his constancy, faithfulness and commitment to those causes that he believed in, his unswerving dedication, that made us realize that here was a very special man. "Sorely missed" hardly seems adequate!
@Ratchet936: My mate's dad was a camera man on TOTP in the 70s. He says that Saville was caught giving Jonathan King a blow job after one show. That definitely makes him a homo if not a raving paedo (as Jonathan King was also convicted of being a paedo).
heaven just got a lot cooler.
best TV presenter, and i strongly believe he will be the only one of his kind, till the end of TV

We will all miss Jimmy Saville who was such a great person and also humble and generous with his time. A great Christian and Catholic.
He came regularly to Jersey and was Jerseys Mr Battle Three times in Jerseys Battle of Flowers.
God Bless Jim . I know you fixed it for me.

Thank you so much for this tribute.
Sir Jimmy Savile was unique - we will never see his like again!
Jim had an amazing presence; when he walked into a room he was truly captivating. He was always flamboyant; always absolutely genuine!
His life should stand as an example to us all!
God bless Jim
