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

When he's 17, 18, the fact that he's taking 16, 17, sometimes 15-year-old girls like home from the club at night isn't the weirdest thing in the world, right?

Like it's not considered too strange by any of the people because he's right in that age bracket more or less, right?

Now, we don't actually know when this starts to happen, when he starts DJing and, you know, fucking taking girls home from these shows that he's doing.

Because by realistic calculation, it should have been around 1948, 49 or 50, maybe even 51.

But Jimmy would sometimes say these shows took place in 43 or 44.

But by his late teens to early 20s, Jimmy is playing shows as a DJ.
