The BBC is set to air a new drama based on the life of one of the UK's most prolific paedophiles, Jimmy Savile - but should they?
Starring Steve Coogan as Savile, the show will focus on the early years of Savile, before moving on to his BBC career and the closing years of his life. The show will also focus on the multiple sexual offences against children he committed, as well as how they were covered up.
Executive producer Jeff Pope said: "I think this is a story that has to be told. We must understand why a man like Jimmy Savile seemed to remain immune for so long to proper scrutiny and criminal investigation."
