"Now then, now then young lady - 'ow would you like if I was to present you with a medallion just like this one?"
It appears that one of the worst-kept secrets in showbusiness is about to be broadcast to the nation tonight.
If even half of what has already been in the weekend press is true, then Sir Jimmy Savile OBE's reputation will be utterly destroyed.
That will be very sad for anyone who grew up watching this apparently kindly, generous and eccentric man entertain us on prime time BBC television.
But this is just the start. If it was so widely known in showbusiness circles, why was he allowed to get away with it for so long? Scour the internet and you will quickly find theories which suggest that some of his friends in politics would have had much to fear if he had been exposed in his lifetime and was offered the chance to spill the beans on what some of his friends also got up to.
My parents had the great misfortune of landing on the same table for dinner as he was for a two week cruise round the Mediterranean. He had to dominate every conversation throughout dinner and had to be the centre of attention wherever he went on that ship.
Look up Narcissistic Personality Disorder on the internet and see if some of the symptoms sound a bit familiar.

He ws always around during my childhood, teenage and beyond but I always thought he was a twat probably because he never fixed anything for me.
Any chance of a medallion pic
"Jim'll F*ck it"
I always thought him very creepy, but I think that must be due to my father's animosity toward him. Dad was dead set against him, in part because of the story that Jim always only ever took one pair of underpants with him on holiday as he could wash them and hang them up to dry overnight.
I'd have thought that in his later years, Lakes, he wouldn't have given them a badge, he'd have tried to give them an old pendant...
One of the more disreputable artefacts from your esteemed Emporium. I suggest you keep it under the counter in the back store room, never again to see the light of day.
wv: 5 usedsubs! How DO they do it?
Thank you!
My claim to fame is that I gave out a medal on Jim'll Fix It once.
The shame.
Two little girls we pulled out of a giant Christmas cracker.
I was in the police tug-of-war team. We should have nicked the bastard and banged his head on the way into the van.
Banned: I always found his rather patronising way of speaking to people an irritation. Seems that was the least of his sins.
Calfy: I suspect he never wore any...
Scrobs: Very true!
GG: And I wonder what the Rolls Royce that some idiot paid £160k for is now worth?
E-K: Sadly he managed to fool all of the people for all the time he was alive.
