There is a Dr. Christine Saville of University College London, so whether her name created historical confusion I don't know. I would guess Jimmy's involvement was purely to host a Speakeasy or maybe a Savile's Travel.<br /><br />I would guess somebody made a mistake, wrote a book and then this error has been perpetuated down the years. When I was unravelling the career of Patrick McGoohan I found a number of credits for shows that he never did. The internet is very good at creating mythology and mistakes. Nobody want to do the work of researching a subject properly, except for the maybe for the odd folks like you rabbit. It's certainly not something journalists are much good for now, they just copy/paste and tweet their lies and untruths and wait for the thumbs-ups.

Speakeasy was part of the BBC Religious Dept so the Evangelical thing would have been an important story. <br /><br />You may recall Jimmy made a small news-splash once when he mounted his own small protest about the Streaking phenomenon, so I can quite imagine he was no fan of Pornography, but then no man of his age would be back then; I know what my parents thought about it all...... ;-))Moor Larkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05275057917684784541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026409546307773708.post-4873168506718533052014-03-26T18:43:55.291+00:002014-03-26T18:43:55.291+00:00I don't imagine Sir Francis Camps or the Archb...I don't imagine Sir Francis Camps or the Archbishop of York went to Copenhagen either. My first thought about Jimmy's inclusion was, that this issue might have featured in one of his Speakeasy's, or could Jimmy and Cliff have been chosen to partake because of their Faith but who knows ?Rabbitawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481932585279733096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026409546307773708.post-20760849104044432812014-03-26T18:02:41.030+00:002014-03-26T18:02:41.030+00:00I recall a cartoon of the day had Longford's h...I recall a cartoon of the day had Longford's head morphing into a penis.

I believe this woman went to the Scandinavia with Longford and Brandreth, but Jimmy certainly did not.Moor Larkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05275057917684784541noreply@blogger.com
