Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

You are controlling the emotions and mood and to an extent the movements of a group of people.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

The control is what appeals to him.

Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

About being a DJ, that's very upsetting.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

Yeah.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

Yeah.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

Yeah, exactly.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

Exactly.

Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

As Davies notes, and I think this is obvious from that quote, Jimmy, like the art of what he's doing is kind of lost on him.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

He's purely in this for power and control.

Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

So he starts hosting more of these record dances, renting whatever venues he could find and occasionally running out halfway through a set when his equipment broke because this isn't none of this stuff works very well at the time.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

Sure.

Now, this is also the first time when he starts to write about taking birds home from shows with him.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

He almost exclusively, in his autobiography and in his personal writings, refers to girls and women as birds, right?

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

That's the term he uses.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

And he uses it constantly.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

It's very common at the time.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

Very common.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

He keeps doing it through the 70s and 80s, 90s, which is weird.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

But at the time, again, that's part of the story is when this starts, it's not so weird.

Behind the Bastards
Part One: Jimmy Saville: Britain's Unending Nightmare

He's a teen, young adult at the time.
