The NHS and the BBC generally are pretty good reasons. The BBC can commission stuff like this without reference to commercial viability - so young talent can have an opportunity. Pretty cool 😎. And NHS because, you know - health care available to everyone
how did they know about the mortuary stuff 2 years before that was public? was it coincidence observational or just very perceptive? or it was just already know to them? if so we're they the first to break that part of dispicable horror story?
Rich talks about it in this podcast with Louis Theroux; there were rumours going around at the time, but he says everybody thought they were a joke because of how ridiculous it sounded: th-cam.com/video/2DnUUkvGoGs/w-d-xo.html
You’re wrong on this one Matt. Was listening to them talk about that exact joke on Herring’s podcast. They said they, and everyone else knew - it was a fairly open secret. The reason they got away with it is the fact that the BBC/the public took very little notice of the show. Had it been more watched, they say, they’d have faced the same litigation that other people who attempted euphemisms about Saville’s ‘practice’ did.
@@mattyartell9575 yes, Stewart Lee has said since they did it because it seemed such a ridiculous rumour and they wouldn't have if they knew it were true.
@@harryroberts2630 How could they have known unless they were there? Rumours are not evidence, they did hear the rumour that doesn't mean they were witnesses. This idea that everyone at the BBC was witness to what Saville was doing is ludicrous, funny that whenever it's brought up that former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was a very close friend of Saville's, the response is always that she was totally oblivious, despite the fact that British secret service would have had to have done extensive research on the man to ensure he would be safe to be around the PM and wasn't a secret Soviet spy or something, yet still we are fed the myth that she was oblivious to his crimes. Yet we are supposed to believe that absolutely everyone at the BBC, especially those with left-leaning views funnily enough, knew absolutely everything about Saville's acts and whereabouts at all times, even if they never met him. Funny that! I've no doubt there were those at the BBC who knew about it and covered it up, but this idea that absolutely everyone who ever worked for the BBC knew and covered it up is just a blatant smear attempt.
I'm still amazed this went out Sunday day time, classic stuff
The amount of innuendo in this - and the fact that both editions went out before the watershed - it's amazing that helped.
The Saville mortuary joke… foreshadowing! 😄
Herring trying and failing to do the Savile noise is hilarious
one of the few reasons I feel proud to be British

This is great. Thanks for the HQ uploads. I would imagine the forever-theoretical DVD release would have lopped off those first few seconds, eh wot?
That When Things Fall Over Spill Or Get Knocked Out Of Cupboards at 9:30 was good . "Like a pair of stupid Canutes" ha
THE JIMMY SAVILE TROLLEY OF ATHLETICS AND DEATH

that gay age of consent/Baroness Young/Steven Lawrence murder suspects joke was peak Lee and Herring
17:50: 'I'd like to replace Milton Keynes with a giant bouncy council/castle.' Why is she not prime minister?
These Lilly's, did you consider them ?
Even if they'd know for sure that Saville opening would still have happened
You think the jibe about being the one to "take them to the morgue" *doesn't* imply knowledge of it??
It doesn't. At the time, "Savile is a necrophiliac" was a stupid rumour that everyone had heard but nobody genuinely believed it.
