Incredible acting by Coogan, but omitted so much about the famous, the Police and other 'authorities'


Coogan's acting and accent was perfect, but of course we would never hear mentions of-

Police interviews of Savile in connection with the Yorkshire Ripper murders (he was friends with him). Of course only revealed after his death.
No depiction of the many famous people who made public asides and jokes about Savile's paedo behaviour.
Details of his strong friendship with several members of royalty.
Paedophile rings in Royal and Parliament circles, not just Savile's personal friends.
Senior cops stating that a certain acronym security agency warned them off investigating Savile.

Sadly this is true the program was clearly a cover up mission. The signs are there from the first few moments starting with the real survivors reading what sounds like scripts 'he groomed a Nation' and the precursor of 'some things have been added for dramatic effect' code for most of this will be bullshit.

What do they need to spice up exactly you can't have a more sensational subject to work with. If it was a film about some writer with little personality from a long time ago were there isn't much to go on you can forgive dramatic licence but for this it sounds like bullshit. We understand not every moment will be gospel but when they add that it implies they are taking liberties

This is what happens something vile is committed then we get waves of spin and confusion in the aftermath and finally we get a movie which sadly most people then reference and it becomes fact

It was well made though i have to give credit where due very creepy in places and well acted by everyone. But this is how they get away with it if they are serving up Bullshit they make sure it's well polished and well seasoned. Reminds me of that film The Big Short where they got all the A listers and talked the audience through there version of events like children

But the majority will buy it

Well written.

Imagine the BBC making a cover-up 'drama' about someone they paid and covered up for?

Add to that a controlled media, guilty ''elites'' and their protectors, and a rampant cowboy MI5.

They certainly have some neck.

A bit like When Louis Theroux did that guilt ridden revisit where he tried to play the innocent lamb who got sucked in by 'master manipulator' Jimmy lol.

He knew god damn well what was up and even stayed friends with him afterwards. But rather than own it and accept they are gatekeepers who live extremely well at a price they want their conscious clean and to not be viewed negatively by the public

Deep down when he's in bed at night he knows what he is

Yeah, linked by MI5 blackmail and freemasonry...
