It fell so fast that some of the Bevan boys got nosebleeds when they went down.

Man, being a boy in England is the worst thing in the world.

Are they covered in soot?

Yes.

Yes.

Very, very black.

Very, very black.

Well, Jimmy Savile's job underground was a solitary one.

He was two miles into the mine.

He levered coal trucks back on the track when they derailed on a sharp corner.

And most Bevan boys hated this job because it was spooky.

You were in the dark by yourself all day long.

But Jimmy Savile loved the job.

He claimed to be king of the corner for three years.

Those guys fucking scare me.

I mean, nobody really.

The only time that anyone loved that work was when the drywall guys would smoke a bunch of meth and they loved their job for about two days and would not sleep.

Well, I mean, that was my exact next point, is that the other minors, they all thought it was weird that Savile would like this job, this job that everybody else hated.

But it was during Jimmy's time as a Bevan boy that he realized that there were opportunities in being different.

It was, as he put it again and again, the power of oddness.
