The first look at the BBC Jimmy Saville series starring Steve Coogan. Who looks to have absolutely nailed it to a spooky degree. However, who is going to watch it?

    It was released tonight on the iPlayer. Damn, it’s a tough watch. But to be fair to Coogan, he absolutely nails it.

      A friend messaged me to say that her and her husband had to switch it off. I’ve yet to gather the strength to take a run at it.

        Honestly, I think it’s an important watch; especially for blokes - who may be more inclined to look the other way and so need education to stand up and intervene.

        Serious kudos to Coogan for having the courage to take on the role though. Some of the scenes don’t hold back and we all know that there are many people in the world who attribute acts to the actor.
