Awwww. Louis I like your style most of the time but I do think you stepped out of line here. Let Jimmy remember his mum in his own way without intruding too much, it's not good tv, it's just uncomfortable.

Savile was great as the doc in Back To The Future

[HornPilot]

Dont get the hate for Louis he's always like this. Jimmy had no problem with him they stayed in contact for years after this doc was made.

I don't know too much about Jimmy Saville, I have always respected the man. However it seems that Louis is insinuating or making vague hints that Jimmy was a gay, am I wright or wrong? Hes a chief wind up merchant if ever there was one

[Photonzos]

Given a choice between having a chat with Louise and nutjob zombie Savile? no contest.

not many in america knew who jimmy saville is/was and I did not know he passed until today is how unknown he was out in america so he had no mention on our news. I always liked this man and always will correct anybody who says who's the crazy old man at the start of some YT videos,and tell them that's Jimmy saville host of top of the pops and he had his hair bleached back then

[NORMANGODS]

louie is the ultimate troll

[SteveeAH]

I think people are over reacting a bit below. If you've watched Louis Theroux's Documentaries from the start you'd know that's the type of interviewer he is, he's like it with everyone. I agree it seems quite uncomfortable, but watch Weird Weekends, that's uncomfortable. That's his style and it's great. Also, most of you might not know this, but, Louis and Jimmy regularly met up after this Documentary, I'm sure they were good friends. Stop over reacting.

RIP Jimmy.
