Yeah.
The infamous Gary Glitter.
Yeah.
Also made several appearances on Jim O'Fixit.
But perhaps the greatest villain to ever appear on Jim'll Fix It was a woman who, in 1976, was already campaigning for the spot of Prime Minister as the leader of Britain's Conservative Party, although she would not make Prime Minister until 1980.
See, it may not surprise you to find out that Jimmy Savile was a staunch Conservative, and he had completely fallen for this particular woman's politics after he saw her speak at a young Conservative conference.
That woman was the great villain of 1980s England, the UK's Ronald Reagan.
I'm speaking, of course, about Margaret Thatcher.
Yeah.
She was.
And gleefully evil.
Very much so.
Yeah.
I mean, at least Ronald Reagan tried to hide his evil and his folksiness and charm and all that because he has to.
He's American.
But man, the British, when Margaret Thatcher came along and just fucking wanted to be as cruel and cold as possible.
Iron pants.
Let me cross your wires a little bit.
Did you see Gillian Anderson's portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in The Crown?
Okay, so you're crossing the streams a little bit with the queen and Thatcher.
