    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This documentary features surviving archive sequences from the "Top of the Pops", "Clunk Click", and the now infamous "Jim'll Fix It", in additional to extracts from other programmes Jimmy Savile appeared in. Due to the nature of the BBC's video archiving policy up to 1978, wiping and re-using the original master tapes, many of the video extracts are from lower grade recordings, most likely VHS home recordings. The means that the documentary has a lot of grainy video material, that at multiple points causes the Netflix stream to pixelate mostly during certain image edits.
