People were always telling Jimmy Savile that he was a funny one.

And Savile got a charge out of making people uncomfortable.

His favorite story from his Bevan Boys days was when he showed up at the mines in his Sunday best because he'd been out all night partying and he hadn't had time to go home and change.

But Savile still went down in the cage anyway.

And when he got to his corner, he stripped, folded his nice clothes in a newspaper, and worked his entire shift naked.

He saved enough water to clean off his face and hands at the end of his shift, then went back up in the cage as immaculately dressed as he went down.

Now, that's not a very good story.

And in fact, all of Savile's stories are quite bad.

None of them are good.

They're all awful.

But Saville said that the other minors were weirded out by his antics, and he immediately saw that being odd had an effect on people.

It didn't necessarily disarm them.

In fact, sometimes it put them more on their guard.

But it had enough of an effect where Jimmy Saville started leaning in to being weird and somewhat clownish.

He doesn't really wear underwear.

Yeah.

Or didn't wear.

Sure.

Part two, hour two, Savile's underwear.

I'll be ready then.
