Well, yeah, they're hanging out.

They're drinking for free.

Yeah.

Jimmy Savile actually found a way to turn the situation into a running joke.

He said it dozens upon dozens of times throughout the years.

There's actually a super cut on the Netflix documentary of him saying this.

Anytime someone brought up his proclivities for young girls, he'd always say, my case comes up next Thursday.

Always.

And would always get a big laugh from whatever audience was lapping up his bullshit.

Now, after proving himself to the Mecca brass in London, Savile moved to the great city of Manchester.

Ah, big old man!

I love Manchester!

To manage a Mecca dance hall called the Plaza Ballroom.

Jimmy's father had died a few years before, and since Jimmy had filled the emotional void left by his father, he had become far, far closer to his mother.

He wanted to come back and join her, and he wanted to return to the comfort of Northern England.

Now, in Manchester, Jimmy Savile continued to refine his flamboyant look, his clown suit, as it were.

He would wear see-through shirts with fake 20-pound notes in the breast pocket.

He would always do his level best to be the most outrageous-looking person in any room.

Saville also started opening the dance hall at lunchtime during the week, which made the Plaza Ballroom a magnet for teenagers who were going nuts for the new American sounds.

This is Elvis, Buddy Holly, Bobby Darin, Jimmy Saville's the one who has those records, and the Plaza Ballroom is where kids can go to hear those records.
