British actor Steve Coogan has said he hopes viewers of his upcoming drama series on disgraced entertainer Jimmy Savile are reminded to “listen to victims and survivors” to avoid history repeating itself.
The four-part series, titled The Reckoning, will track Savile’s rise to becoming one of the biggest stars in television and will also focus on his years of sexual abuse and the impact he had on his victims – four of whom have waived their anonymity and feature in the series.
