The first episode of this four-part series will air on Monday 9 October on BBC One.   When news of this account of his life was first published I said I wouldn't watch but I think I will - if I can stand it.  How about you?

I don't think so. I think it would be too distressing. I don't like Steve Coogan anyway.

J.S. always gave me the creeps, even when his history was unknown to me.

In my case, because he's a pompous prat who pushes his so called political views at every opportunity.  Just another celebrity love.

Not sure if we'll watch it. See how we feel on the day. I do like Steve Coogan as an actor, I think he will play the part very well.

Aye, they should be told at Aktin Skool to keep their views to themselves.

 

A lesson we could all learn.

I know his name but I don't think I've ever seen him in anything.

Savile, apart from his odious deeds was also a total a prat & a liar, why watch someone impersonating him?

I admit he's a very good actor.

 

Naomi, have you not seen him with Judy Dench in Philomena?  Brilliant.

And he's known for being Alan Partridge, Norfolk Radio!  Very popular, but I never found him funny.

Khandro, I'm currently watching 'The Long Shadow' - the story of the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper - which is excellent.  And I've just finished watching Love and Death, a dramatised account of the story behind a killing in the US - also excellent.  You may as well ask 'why watch anything?'

No I won't watch it. I don't think J S should be exploited, he deserves nothing more than to be forgotten about.

Yes, I have seen that and it was good... so I must have seen him in something.    Thanks.
