A few days back, when I was looking for any clues about what ITV's 'The Reckoning' might contain, one of my first ports of call was imdb, which yielded nothing, thus - next stop was wikipedia, which gave me this :
OK, so I then knew that Ray Teret and Bill Cotton was being portrayed, but who were the other three playing ? Various articles appeared yesterday, including one that contained this photo.
I got it from the telegraph dated yesterday (7th October). I had to scale a wall to get it.
I now knew who those two were playing then ! I'll include another image from the article, for no other reason than that it's actually quite artistic, like an oil painting ! One must find some good even in the most terrible of places ! This is Bill Cotton, who's 'dead so he can't sue', so that's alright !

Book ? What book I hear nobody ask ? Well, it's the one written by Dan Davies of course - the 'man who knew Jimmy Savile best' and the last piece in the : "who the hell are those three playing" wikipedia casting jigsaw puzzle !
Folks, I've had enough of this for now. I'll leave you with something that made me smile anyway. The description of Davies' 'reporter' character in one review ! From the independent, if you want to read the whole thing !
"Don't let this happen again". Now, there's a thought !
Meanwhile, back in 2011,

This is the real Charles Hullighan.
And this is Agnes Savile on her 80th Birthday.
Well done, as ever, Rabbit. I'm not sure I have the stomach for any of this, but appreciate your continued determination.
ReplyDeleteOh, and thank you for reminding us of Dan Davies "poignant tribute." What a scumbag.
Rabbit does such an amazing job - it can’t be easy trying to convince a whole nation that Jimmy Savile wasn’t a serial sex offender, rapist and child molester - I mean, he was a little tinker wasn’t he ? That’s not even mentioning that fact that he fucked his dead mum as well. It’s quite a challenge convincing people that Savile was a harmless little weirdo. I wonder what Rabbit’s next challenge might be - Fred West ? Peter Sutcliffe ? Ted Bundy ? Ed Kemper ? Or even Ed Gein ? All much much maligned hard done by - just like Jimmy. (Ted also enjoyed having sex with dead bodies, just like Jimmy) hahaha
