It's a control tactic.

If you isolate somebody, you can control the entire narrative.

If you let them talk to other people, then they might figure out that what's going on is really fucked up.

Now, Jimmy Savile had proved with Top of the Pops that he was a hit with the British people.

And even though his reputation as a sexual predator was well known at the BBC, they still gave him another show on BBC Radio 1 called Savile's Travels.

In Savile's Travels, Jimmy would roam around Britain in his caravan, chatting with everyday people while promoting his various charity events.

But as it went with every job Savile ever had, he used Savile's Travels as simply another avenue to feed his insatiable urges.

Since he was going to be constantly traveling, Savile upgraded his caravan with a large double bed, red upholstery, gold tassels, and a stained glass dividing door.

It was built for the sole purpose of comfortably and privately committing sex crimes.

And when Savile made his caravan his primary residence, he became more elusive than ever.

Considering what Jimmy Savile was known to get up to at the BBC studios, there were obvious implications as to what it meant to have him roaming around England unsupervised.

Nobody at the BBC, however, even tried keeping tabs on Jimmy Savile.

As long as he showed up where he was supposed to and kept delivering ratings, the BBC was criminally hands-off when it came to their top presenter.

There's a paradox with the British people where they're at the same time.
