Very sad to hear of Jimmy Savile'sdeath. He worked so hard for charities.

[vianne]

Yes, very sad, he certainly was quite a character! R.I.P. Jimmy

RIP Jimmy

[Jenny50]

I'm just telling it like it is and apologise in advance to Jimmy's many fans but I know that back in the 70s he was asked to open a benevolent day for an emergency service and was offered a fat fee for doing it.  He came back with a figure the welfare fund couldn't match so had to ask someone else.  I know he raised millions for charity but he also did very well out of it himself.

I'm with Jenny50.  I have nothing against the guy but I think there will be some revelations after his death.   That's all I'm saying.  Remember you read it here first!

Use to love watching Jim'll Fix It 

[Margarett]

I used to love Jim'll fix it too, but to be honest, from the tone of some of these comments, I wish I hadn't started this thread!

[Margarett]

I read his autobiography years ago, and his philosophy was that if he could get lots of money for charity just by turning up to an event, then that's what he would do.There must be thousands of grateful people who have been successfully treated at the Stoke Mandeville Spinal Injuries Centre , which he raised 20 million pounds for.

I think it's sad that he seems to have died alone - it's sad that any 84 year old dies alone. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2055045/Jimmy-Savile-dead-DJ-Jimll-Fix-It-presenter-dies-home-aged-84.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

Sad that he died alone.....but that's the best way to go.....just peacefully sleep away.

If I got to choose then that's the way I would want to go.

He did such a lot of good works.

Many 'stars' have huge fixed rates for opening fetes etc. so don't feel badly about Jim.  It's the way of the World!

He was full of charm, excentricity etc., a man of his time. 

[Margarett]

I quite agree, CLKD. And it was sad that he died alone,but that was the way he lived his life.

[Joyce]

He was wacky, that much is true.  But did so much charity work.  So sad he was on his own though, but dying peacefully in his sleep he would not have suffered.

Wouldnt we all want to go that way
Im sure as was said nasty yuky things will be written some true some false
Some with a pinch thats the only thinkg about this instant media
Its odd to think he was 85 tomorrow so that would make his biffy 1926
So in 1975 Jimllfixit he was 43?
Top o the pop he was in his mid 30s
Wonder if he was in the war? He would have been 18 in 1944?

Jeremy Vine was interviewing people today that had been on Jim'll Fix It, they all had very fond memories of him.  And it was reported that he'd raised £40million for charity through his marathons - RIP, Sir Jimmy.
