Met him a few times while my dad was in Stoke Mandeville spinal unit and he was always lovely and had so much time for the patients in the unit which probably wouldn't be there without him (the unit and the patients).
Please can you fix it for one to meet Frank "y'know what I mean, 'arry?" Bruno? :cool: One really hopes this can be arranged as blood sports are a favourite pursuit and it's on the Establishment grapevine that you have already 'fixed' it for Peter Sutcliffe to meet the aforementioned pugilist. :eek:
I used to love watching Jim'll Fix it in the 80's but looking back some of them were so naff! They couldn't do it nowadays as the cost of the kids requests would be astronomical! Simpler times!
I see the jokes have started although this one did raise a smile and I am sure the man himself would have laughed:
Jimmy Savile's family are naturally devastated by his death, however they have been comforted somewhat by Cash4Gold's kind offer to pay for his cremation.
I wish people would stop cracking Jimmy Saville jokes. That means you, and you, and you!
Very sad. Also a bit sad that the mods chose to move this from the Broadcasting section to the radio one. Jimmy was more than just a DJ - he was a British broadcasting treasure who maybe was first known as a DJ but moved out into the wider world of TV and then did a hell of a lot of charity work. RIP. Proud to use my 4000th post to celebrate his life. How's about that then?!
OK it's actually in the Showbiz section - fair enough.

In about 1972 or 1973 I went to a nightclub in Bournemouth in which Jimmy Savile had a financial stake. (Le Cardinal in Glen Fern Road for anyone who is interested - Maison Royale was another club associated with it).
In the entrance lobby were a film crew of about 10 people who were making a TV ad with JImmy. I was asked if I would like to appear in it and agreed.
I was filmed buying an admission ticket and receiving Green Shield Stamps with my purchase. Ridiculous idea!
Jimmy kept on calling me Superstar...my one and only claim to fame.
I never saw the completed ad because it was to be aired in the north of England. My fee? Absolutely nothing!
A couple of years ago my cousin told me that she's related to him. Strange thing it has always seemed really obvious since she said that but I didn't notice it before

Dear Jim.

Now then, now then!
Friends with Kenny Everett & The Beatles, is he on the cover of Sgt Pepper?
On first hearing of the cause of death of Elvis Presley, Sir Jimmy said "Elvis was not a junky" and he had met him.
He also qualified for membership of Mensa.
What a guy, most (including me) were in awe of him. Plenty for others to learn from his life.
Au Revoir Sir Jimmy Saville.
Certain people in Jersey might disagree with you.
Not two. I always thought it was two.

This thread's in Showbiz.
He also did that British Rail ad 'this is the age of the train'. We won't see his like again-wrestler and a former Bevan Boy too.RIP
