Now, while sex was Jimmy Savile's number one impulse, he could also be incredibly violent.
A young man who became friendly with Jimmy Savile said that he was walking to visit the famous TV presenter one day in 1964 when a gang of British street toughs appeared and started giving the kid a hard time.
If you've ever been to England, it's a regular occurrence.
In Dublin, every little boy's a man.
Well, seemingly out of nowhere, Jimmy Savile appeared like a pedophile Batman and grabbed one of the troublemakers.
Savile plunged his thumb into the troublemaker's eye socket, causing blood and viscera to spurt out.
Savile took this boy's eye and thought nothing of it.
Simply went on with his day.
Savile could also get threatening and violent with the musicians on top of the pops.
In July of 1964, the Rolling Stones were set to perform their first number one hit, It's All Over Now, but they had decided to be difficult once they arrived at the BBC studios.
When they refused to go on stage for the taping, Jimmy Savile personally threatened the Rolling Stones, telling them that if they weren't going to play, they could choose to be unconscious instead, because Jimmy's so-called minders were going to beat them half to death if they didn't make the recording.
Stones, of course, played and returned to Top of the Pops numerous times over the years for many more performances.
I'd like to see him try that with Motorhead.
God, how satisfying would it be to watch Lemmy beat Jimmy Savile to death?
Saville, however, was not content to keep his sexual crimes to just the BBC studios.
His sexual appetite, I mean, you can get as many synonyms as you want.
It's truly ravenous.
Yeah.
Which to me kind of... Actually, it was The Guardian that called him an extravagant sexual offender.
Yeah.
