Tnx I thought that I was over reacting.  What's in the heads of the writer/s in the first instance

Money. And ratings.

It is just in bad taste imo.

What have they come to ............ no respect.  It's the BBC ?  not what I pay my Licence Fee for.

When I read about it today, there was something about the documentary leaving out an important report or something and not covering it, something that reflected badly on the BBC I think. So it doesn't even sound like it is an honest portrayal of how it was all handled.

A few thoughts:

I wasn't allowed to watch Saville as a kid because my dad said he was a pervert. To be honest, I don't know how anyone missed this. Didn't the weirdo super revealing satin running shorts give it away???

Secondly, Coogan is a nice guy. One of my kids was besties with his kid and I used to live down the road from his mom. What he's doing here is pointing out the uncomfortable truth that either everyone knew, or it was so obvious that everyone should have known. People don't like uncomfortable truths and generally want to shoot the messenger.

I sometimes forget this isn't like Facebook where I spend so much of my time and that you can't "like" posts.  Consider your post "liked" ElkWarning.

U might have 1-hand knowledge however, I've found him creepy ...........

I must admit I like Steve Coogan too,not his Alan Partridge tbh although some of it was funny,he was really good in Philomena with Judi Dench,he also comes across as a nice guy in interviews etc.
I believe (or what I read) the victims were consulted and their input was used to make the series BUT I agree,what's the point,we've seen every documentary about him,we don't now need this. In fact even thinking about him makes my skin crawl

Yes, a very sensitive performance in Philomena. Apparently four of his victims have waived anonymity to talk at the beginning of each programme to highlight how he got away with it.

Me I'm afraid !  My children used to collect autographs and each had a book to stick ones in or for someone to write in. 
They queued at the Marine Camp Open Day when Saville sat on a podium and signed autographs.  I also took photos when their turn came.
Don't worry my now adult children often remind me of my bad judgement.

Facing allegations - at the beginning of the F1 season.  A meeting is to take place on Friday. 

The future of the Red Bull Formula 1 team is in the spotlight as their boss Christian Horner faces an internal hearing on Friday into a complaint of inappropriate behaviour.

The 50-year-old, who has led Red Bull Racing since its founding in 2005, will be quizzed by an independent lawyer on the complaint.

Parent company Red Bull Gmbh, based near Salzburg in Austria, said on Monday that it is taking the allegations against Horner "extremely seriously".

The team has not confirmed the nature of the complaint made against Horner but BBC Sport understands the claims relate to an allegation of inappropriate and controlling behaviour.
