Should We Just Let Him Rot?

[sp1814]

Do we really need to know any more?

Would you be happier letting your memories of him fade, or do you think there's value in the BBC producing this documentary?

Personally I'm curious to see how the BBC will deal with their own 'culpability'...will there be a thorough and frank investigation into how the BBC (and by extension, the rest of us) were taken in. So think it's a valid exercise.

What do you think?

Jack...well said above ^^^

Lets winkle out all the people that allowed him to abuse, and continue to abuse.

The NHS that allowed a completely unqualified person to patrol hospital wards at night.

The Police who ignored previous warnings about him.

The BBC for allowing him to be alone with vulnerable young children.

The list goes on and on.

// I don't think the fascination is necessarily with Savile himself, it's more to do with an environment/culture that enabled him to hide 'in plain sight'....and other people who are accused/suspected of doing the same. //

That's how I see it.

It reads to me like Louis is doing this to salve his own conscience - self serving?

There may be an element of that. We should probably see it first, and then decide.
