Yeah!
See, while Gary Glitter is better known for his 1997 arrest for child pornography and the years-long odyssey of perversion across Southeast Asia that came afterward, he'd been abusing girls in the UK since at least the 1970s, often with Jimmy Savile and often in plain sight.
In one episode of Clunk Click, for example, Gary Glitter was invited by Jimmy Savile to sit down between two teenage girls sitting on beanbag chairs.
Glitter settled between them and said, I'll get two.
And to this, Savile replied, yes, you get two.
I should be giving girls away.
Savile and Glitter then proceeded to grip and embrace these girls on camera, all while the girls looked obviously and incredibly uncomfortable.
As it turned out, these girls were actually taken from Duncroft, and they were there on the permission of the headmistress.
Each girl had been offered cash to sit on the beanbags with Gary and Jimmy, and that's a fucking pedophile duo if I ever heard one.
Reportedly, Jimmy Savile gave the girls cash to be on camera with him and Gary, but he took the cash back after the show's taping.
And what was far worse is after Savile took back the cash, the girls were taken to Savile's dressing room where they were given alcohol and passed between Gary and Jimmy all on BBC property.
Now, things were obviously getting, let's just say.
Give them money.
That's just the entertainer in you.
Yeah.
That is, you know, you just know how, you know what that feels like.
Yeah, man.
Now, things were obviously getting, let's say, out of hand at the BBC.
And while investigators got close to Jimmy Savile, they still missed the mark time after time.
And that was often because the BBC would not let investigators get close to Jimmy Savile.
