Jimmy Savile docudrama tells a story that needs to be told

While I agree with Lucy Mangan (The Reckoning review, 9 October) that Steve Coogan is chillingly brilliant as Jimmy Savile, I feel differently about the lack of justification for making the drama.

First, the involvement and support by those who survived Savile’s violent predation cannot be second guessed by others. The value for them in being involved may be all the justification needed.
