About this episode

This episode explores the implications and controversies surrounding Louis Theroux's interview with Jimmy Savile.

What really happened with Louis Theroux’s most controversial documentary? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the infamous interview with Jimmy Savile, a documentary that, years later, would take on a completely different meaning. At the time, Savile was one of the most powerful and protected figures in the UK… but looking back now, the warning signs were there for all to see. We break down the moments that feel uncomfortable today, the questions that were asked, and the ones that weren’t. Did Louis Theroux get too close? Was he misled like everyone else? Or is this a documentary that simply aged in the darkest way possible? This is one of those stories that hits differently with hindsight… and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Real talk, no filter. Subscribe for more deep dives, reactions and unfiltered conversations from the world of true crime, culture and controversy. We will see you… on the other side. Hosted on Acast.
