How frightened is the BBC of Jimmy Savile? Very, according to The Sun, who report that “nervous BBC bosses have pushed back the broadcast of a controversial drama amid fears of a backlash.”
The Reckoning, with Steve Coogan as Savile, was announced in 2020 with filming taking place in late 2021. The Reckoning featured in many “upcoming TV” round-ups as a winter 2022 attraction, although the BBC never confirmed this.
