Marcus Parks

Is it the slang's too cute?

Welcome to the last podcast on the left.

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Marcus Parks.

I'm here with the linguistic police, Henry Zebrowski.

Yes.

Yeah, yeah.

Austin Powers did that to all of us.

They did.

Yeah.

And, of course, we have the man who has seen enough, perhaps too much, Ted Larson.

And here we are at the conclusion, part three of Jimmy Savile, the second head on the Mount Rushmore of evil, is about to get its last little show.

That's me.

So when we last left Jimmy Savile, the year was 1973.

And since Jimmy's age was starting to show, the music... All the leaves are brown.

The music scene that had produced the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in the 1960s, that was no longer providing Jimmy Savile with a steady stream of vulnerable teenage girls to manipulate and abuse.

So when Jimmy began reaching middle age, he fully embedded himself into various National Health Service facilities like Broadmoor Psychiatric Hospital and Stoke Mandeville Hospital for Spinal Injuries.

It was, of course, under the guise of charity, but Savile's real purpose was the farming of these institutions for victims.

But as far as the people of England were concerned, Jimmy Savile was the most charitable man in the country, a person who devoted his every spare moment to helping the less fortunate, even if he was sometimes a little grumpy about doing it.

The grumpiness, however, was just a part of his northern charm, and the people loved him for it.

Yeah, wow.
