    Spineless for ITV to be making these Jimmy Saville allegations after he's dead. Presumably evidence wasn't strong enough when he was alive.

        @bohemiangirl It's not as if the allegations are new. So what's prompted them to move now, except the impossibility of a huge libel suit?

        @bazzacollins I'm thinking more about the women themselves, who maybe deserve a hearing.

        @bohemiangirl Absolutely. But is an ITV "documentary" the place for that?

        @bazzacollins Where else, a string of memoires? He was canonised by the media too, maybe this was wrong.

        @bohemiangirl Maybe. But as I say, these rumours have been knocking around for decades. Surely he deserves right to defend himself too?

        @bohemiangirl The "if" is the problem. ITV isn't a court. And it has an enormous commercial interest in running the allegs, true or not.

        @mikehenson Just because something's reported in the papers, doesn't make it true.

        @bazzacollins - I never read the papers, in fact I can't remember the last time I read one. I rely on the television news, BBC then ITN.

        @bazzacollins I'm not a lawyer but pretty certain you can't libel a dead person. Hence the timing?

        @philwane That's precisely why it's happening now, and precisely why it's gutless.

        @bazzacollins Completely agree re Jimmy S. Met him once as a kid, he was huge fun. Family knew him via his voluntary work in Leeds hospitals

        @fortyrunner I'm not sure if he's guilty or not, but don't like people being tried on television after they've died.
