When I was 11 I sent Jimmy Saville a letter asking him to fix it for me to go to Disneyland. Thank God he never "fixed it for me". The monstrosity of this man is almost too unsettling to put on film. This drama series does not gloss it over or paint Saville as nothing more than an evil predator. Most scenes are very darkly framed, there is very little colors, everything is muted as if the devil himself could aquatint many of the seedy back rooms Saville used to pray on innocents.
The BBC produced this series, but also covered up what a brute Saville was for the sake of money. So this is basically the BBCs penance for the grave injustice they turned a blind eye to.
Steve Coogan gives one of the most incredible performances I've ever seen, from the first frame with Coogan the viewer is left with no doubt about what a total scumbag he was. This must have been a very difficult role for Coogan to play, I commend him for painting the canvas as things where. This is a long way from Alan Partridge and Coogan does not indstill any humourous into his performance at all.
Finally my prayers go out to all his victims who never saw this moster brought to justice. May he rot in hell.
