New York, great.

Even before Jimmy Savile was born, his father Vince was involved in the black market that thrived in Leeds.

Later, Jimmy Savile described Leeds as a city of sin with illegal gambling and sex workers galore.

And while Jimmy Savile exaggerated and lied a lot, he was not lying about that.

Leeds was fucking rough.

Jimmy Savile would often describe his father as almost a non-entity in his life.

Savile said he demanded nothing from his father, and his father demanded nothing from him.

I had an incredibly close relationship with my father.

Yeah, I think so.

Well, maybe.
