Citations
Louis Theroux: So, why do you say in interviews that you hate children when I've seen you with kids and you clearly enjoy their company and you have a good rapport with them?
Jimmy Savile: Right, obviously I don't hate 'em. That's number one.
Louis Theroux: Yeah. So why would you say that then?
Jimmy Savile: Because we live in a very funny world. And it's easier for me, as a single man, to say "I don't like children" because that puts a lot of salacious tabloid people off the hunt.
Louis Theroux: Are you basically saying that so tabloids don't, you know, pursue this whole 'Is he/isn't he a paedophile?' line, basically?
Jimmy Savile: Yes, yes, yes. Oh, aye. How do they know whether I am or not? How does anybody know whether I am? Nobody knows whether I am or not. I know I'm not, so I can tell you from experience that the easy way of doing it when they're saying "Oh, you have all them children on Jim'll Fix It", say "Yeah, I hate 'em."
Louis Theroux: Yeah. To me that sounds more, sort of, suspicious in a way though, because it seems so implausible.
Jimmy Savile: Well, that's my policy, that's the way it goes. That's what I do. And it's worked a dream.
Louis Theroux: Has it worked?
Jimmy Savile: A dream.

Commentaire à la une

Good subject, good chemistry, good documentary

Louis spends time with charity-working celebrity Jimmy Savile. He sees his homes and joins him on public appointments. Over breakfast, lunches, late nights and early mornings they get to know each other.

Like most of Louis characters, Jimmy is a bit of a character and a bit of a social misfit. We all know who he is but know little about him, what makes him tick or how he lives. Louis gets close enough to actually see beyond the character and expose areas of his life that he doesn't usually show. His relationship with his dead mother is strange he calls her the Duchess and keeps all her clothes perfectly in her room.

Louis clearly gets attached to Jimmy and they do get on all right. Jimmy's character doesn't seem to be a character he doesn't seem to have a guard up at all and lets Louis do anything he wants.

Overall this is one of Louis best an interesting subject, a good chemistry and plenty of interesting tit-bits.
