Top Of The Pops presenter Jimmy Savile died in 2011, having never faced justice – now a new TV series, starring Steve Coogan, will shine a light on his heinous crimes
Actor and comedian Steve Coogan has been seen in the first official picture from a new TV drama, where he portrays the depraved TV presenter Jimmy Savile.
The mini-series, due to be released later this year, will tell how Savile came from a working-class background to be one of the biggest stars in TV and will also focus on his years of sexual abuse and the impact he had on his victims. And speaking on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, earlier this year, Steve said there had been a “great deal of antipathy toward me doing it when it was announced”.
Referring to ITV drama Des, in which David Tennant played serial killer Dennis Nilsen, Steve said that while the actor had done a “brilliant job”, the series did not “attract the same kind of antagonism, even though his crimes were, in some ways, more horrific.
