According to Calder, the young girls who hung out at the shag pad did anything Jimmy Saville said, and they would act as his little slaves, as Calder put it.

Calder said that Jimmy would have sex with the girl, then pass her off to one of his younger DJ acolytes, chatting them up only for as long as it took for them to have sex with him or blow him.

Savile's other rule was never make love to anyone if it causes them distress, which makes it sound like Savile had somewhat of a heart.

You know, everyone's consenting, so what's the harm?

She's not in distress, so what...

Real harm am I doing here?

But I think that there is a far more sinister reason for this rule.

I think what Jimmy Savile really meant was don't have sex with a young girl if you can't manipulate her into thinking it was her idea.

Never take advantage of someone who's going to be upset enough to make a stink about it.

In other words, only do what you can get away with.

Because as Savile was proving every single day,

you could get away with a lot.

Because I have made the decision that you are ready for it.

Yes.

Or that you want it, yes.

Now, as you can see from that story, Jimmy Savile's partners in crime and the entertainment business were not usually musicians.

That's, of course, aside from Gary Glitter, who we'll talk about later.

Yeah.

Instead, Savile's closest associates were music industry executives and promoters.

Because as far as Savile's game was concerned, musicians were far more valuable as props.
