Jimmy Savile: Hidden In Plain Sight

This week, Tom and Ben dive deep into the life and unimaginable crimes of Jimmy Savile - a man who, in life, raised tens of millions of pounds for charity whilst captivating the hearts of a nation during his glittering career with the BBC. In death, however, this all appeared to be a front for decades of shocking abuse on the nation’s most vulnerable... Hidden in plain sight.

How did Jimmy Savile manage to continually manipulate the police, press and public despite almost annual allegations? What specifically prompted Savile to abuse his fame, fortune, power and privilege in order to access societies most vulnerable? How and why were his shocking actions tolerated and covered up for such a vast period of time? And did Jimmy leave any kind of explanation or clues during his final days alive?

Tune in and all will be revealed!
