Jimmy was ok

@@bensmith5288you made a spelling mistake. There’s no ‘o’ and ‘k’ in the word ‘pervert’.

😊😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😅😅😅​@@bensmith5288

The issue is, if he is not naive on any level, then he must have known a little more about Jimmy than he makes out.

Sounded a bit stupid here tho, grasping

@@jabthejedi exactly he knew for sure, common UK people heard the rumours so of course a journo knew

@@tiger6218 And he got really defensive when one of them suggested that he was 'groomed' himself.

I've wondered for almost ten years now with little quirks i've noticed in Louis. Could he potentially have high IQ autism? Below are some traits I've picked up over the years and many he aluded to in this short 10 minute interview. Awkwardness in social situations/ interactions Asking dIrect questions (that some would consider rude) Abstract/dry sense of humor Overuse of direct sarcasm (however, I've heard Louis ask a number of times "are you joking?"(or similar) He seriously couldn't tell when others were joking or being sarcastic sometimes) Viewed as insincere or narcisistic from others Use of abstract words not often used in general conversation Very articulate /however an overuse of words in instances. (too many words) Inflexable with his routines/work (even after children he couldn't see the problem with him not adjusting his life to accomidate his kids) Tone of voice (less expressive- monotone to a certain extent- little variation) Detail orientated and observant (trait of any good journalist) Works from a range of pre scripted lines/ questions (trait of any good journalist) Eye contact -this could be nervousness with this topic (tries to make eye contact, only manages a split second then flits to elsewhere in the room - also accompanied with some excessive blinking) Highly intelligent I see tons of his behaviour in my 19 year old autistic daughter. Her eye patterns are identical to Louis's in this interview - she masks "trying" to make eye contact but is clearly uncomfortable and blinks a lot. I'm not saying he is or isn't.. I'm just putting out my own personal opinion from living with a highly intelligent autistic person.

They all knew.

Mr. Rotten knew about Saville in the 70s !

I *REALLY WISHED* Johnny could've used the money he made from PIL Records and Royalties he was getting from Sex Pistols and Never Mind The Bollocks to anonymously seek out a Hitman to take out Savile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm willing to bet *HE, ROTTEN EVEN REGRETS NOT DOING THAT,* because you could definitely see when he was being interviewed on Piers Morgans Life Stories and enquired about the infamous interview regarding Savile he says "I'm very very bitter that Savile and the likes of them were allowed to continue." you could definitely tell he was being genuine and honest and he well and truly was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And he's right after all because *THE BIGGEST TRAGEDY I THINK REGARDING SAVILE* is that he *LITERALLY DIED CLEARLY KNOWING HE WOULD NEVER EVER BE LOCKED UP BEHIND BARS ON A LIFE OR EVEN BETTER DEATH SENTENCE AND/OR PUTTING A PEN TO THE SEX OFFENDERS REGISTER AND ALSO GIVEN A STATE REGIONAL FUNERAL HE CLEARLY NEVER DESERVED AS WELL AS BURIED IN A NOW UNMARKED GRAVE INSIDE A GOLD COFFIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE TRUEST MOST SEVEREST LACK AND MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE I THINK I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

How did he try to do that? He briefly mentioned something on an unheard radio broadcast years ago, and to my knowledge never mentioned it in any radio or TV magazine interview, never mentioned it during one of his many concerts.. Basically what he said about savile back in an early radio interview was not much different than he said about any other TV celebrity during his early day's 😊

They couldn't listen. Was cut from the original broadcast smh... so infuriating and dreadfully sad

there is no way, over that period of time people within the BBC did not know the type of thing he was up to. It's just not realistic to think no one knew.

no shit sherlock, just figured it out?

the lovely Kristin Hersh, back when she was on the 4AD label (the label I worked for) - she was doing promo for her album Strange Angels @@eightiesmusic1984

I don't think he tried to convince them he was naïve ...i think he tried to use a put on sense of awkwardness to surf the waves of any emotional turbulence ..but what he did was try to convince them he was square ..which is not naive ...that he was straight ..non exotic .from a boring background.which if you ever read his bio is completely not him he worked as a journalist for christs sake! But basically he used people's preconceptions of him against them....he used what he truly is too ..NAIVE ... because that is his archtype ..no one stays naive forever ...but we all start off that way ... the kid in us is still naive.

@@silverkitty2503 amen to that. The worst thing about being talked about is not being talked about, I know by the way you talk on screen you know what I mean, and by the way as u a Thurman said in pulp fiction don't be a square, Louis is no square but that's the magic behind the curtains like in the wizard of oz, feally liked speaking with you, stay safe and may you and yours have a beautiful life, seeeeeyaaahhhh..

@@markpoland5748 You too you seem like you would be an interesting person to know.

@@silverkitty2503 Thanks silver kitty.. X

​@@markpoland5748 not quite. Does that logic apply to the likes of Garry Glitter?

Yeah, Louis' ability to continually accept money from an organisation that consistently tried to cover up child abuse really is admirable?

Magaret Thatcher? The Royal Familly? Multiple charities? The NHS? @@wulfgold

@@alexmousley7213 and you wonder why the inquiry went nowhere...

She’s got good taste 👌

absolutely.

Nah, I honestly think he could spot it incredibly easily in others, as though they wore a mask to disguise their true personalities - because he himself wore the exact same mask. "It takes one to know one" sort of thing.

@@rp8164 You may be onto something with the mask but perhaps for the wrong reason. Louis is a highly intelligent man but emotional intelligence isn't the same as iQ. “My director said that in a couple of the interviews, it wasn’t completely clear which of us had the autism. It was like I was sort of on the spectrum as well. Arguably, there’s an emotional side of life that I’m not always completely plugged into.” -Louis Theroux From my personal opinion having a highly intelligent autistic daughter. It's like a big shiny beakon of quirks and behaviours and Louis displays most, if not all of them.

* Savile

Wow, you can't spell.

Yes. The silence is perfect. It lets Louis make his point as succinctly as he needs to.

Being he’s always acting

@@oddunb6190 I assume you meant to say "meaning he's always acting", that being the case I would respond by asking the question "to what end?" Is the act merely a means to an end to make people lower their guard and say what they really think? Is it even possible to achieve that, if someone suspects you are trying to mislead them in any way?

@@rorychivers8769 Vast sums of money and worldwide adulation

Because he plays aloof and naive so well. I can easily see how one would come to that conclusion.

well sais, the man is utter brilliance, what a beautiful child like soul

Its one of those "I should have known" or "I had my suspicions and I should have done something and I didn't" feelings.

@@thesmithersy Didn't even casually discuss it with anybody. yeah, right. The reason his show was so highly anticipated was the expectation of a gotcha. He knew this and you can't tell me he didn't. He's cut from the same cloth as Andrew Neill, and we saw how he exploited the situation. Later on he tries to point the finger at the British public. Theroux will no doubt do the same, in time.

What got to him exactly? Hes explaining something

@@jacob4690 Nothing got to him. It's sensational and trash editing to drum up drama where there isn't any. Louis gave a very detailed and nuanced answer to a difficult (and somewhat unreasonable) question, and showed that he is as thoughtful and respectful as he's always been. Channel is trash.

Exactly. The first and only person to open the dialogue and at the time o had no idea until he raised it

Louis knew

He’s not giving Louis stick?

@@anthonysteel6877 Antony what did I do wrong..

@Fiona Power Thank you Fiona.

Yes they were excellent! I miss those dearly.

That's proper mate Louis is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

I don't think so ..i think he is aware of how people perceive him ..not who he is

Oh…he’s AWARE all right…

The whole BBC knew what Savile was but they wouldn't touch him because he has the blood of Alastair Crowley running through him, he had direct links to the Royal Family and even all the Members of Parliament. Jimmy Savile was a high ranking freemason that practiced Thelema Laws which involved luciferian Sacrifices and blackmailing the highest ranking people in power. Louis Mountbatten introduced him to the Royal Family, Prince Philip and then Prince Charles. They all knew because they were all participating in heinous acts of murder against people, mainly Children. Savile was also indeed the other Yorkshire Ripper, three bodies found next to his flat in Leeds and his overfriendly relationship with Peter Sutcliffe in Broadmoor. It gets darker, Savile also had links to the Moors Murders, he once said that he is the myra Hindley Story. He also had links to Fred and Rose West, Ian Huntley and Ian Watkins from the LostProphets. He was a serial killer, child sexual murderer and psychopath whose bloodline ran the whole of Britain and God knows where else.

That's the only weird thing about the man 😂

😆

I’ve seen him admit just that in interviews. That he feels like he could’ve pushed harder and uncovered something. He feels guilty about it. Although I think he’s getting better and forgiving himself - not that I think he’s got anything to feel guilty about.

​@@shotgun_blammo of course he does. He knew. The whole business knew. They went along to get along. Vipers all.

Louis does say in one of his books how he had to square actually liking Saville when he spent time with him and then the mass of abuses came out- so Louis read every single witness/victim statement as he felt he owed Saville's victims that. Saville was a master manipulator/narcisist and psychopath who worked himself into the circles of the most powerful people. I cannot imagine having spent time with Saville then the allegations are irrefutably proven by the weight of evidence would be anything but traumatic.

He invited Saville to stay at his home for a weekend, after the documentary had been filmed. It’s very weird.

@HkFinn83 I'm not sure how easy it would be, but try asking Louis about that. Louis has interviewed many people that are questionable, from neo Nazis to the Hamiltons, he usually gets close enough to them for them to drop their guard. Unfortunately Saville played Louis like he played everyone.

Yeh agree.. and Louis uses awkwardness and a soft inquisitive and almost naive angle to get good interview content, Saville was a master of causing misdirection and confusion and never often answering questions properly, or with historic catchphrases etc that had secondary meanings that werent initially apparent. Louis could tell he was dealing with something different but no one could guess of just HOW different, over 60+ years it would extend!!

Or recognising it in others?

no offence but I'm sure his wife knew him better than you and his work as a journalist doesn't encapsulate him as a person. I'm not saying he is or isn't insincere, i'm just saying you can't call it by seeing some of his documentaries and pretending you know the guy.

How very authentic of you.

When Jimmy Saville used to come to Stoke Mandeville all the nurses would warn us to be careful. Everyone knew but nobody said anything for fear of not being believed. It would never happen today

@@1Thedairy I don’t believe that. They’re just hiding and I like seeking. It’s funny to scare them when I find them…it’s always made me laugh 😎

@@1Thedairy😂 you honestly believe that?

My sister in law worked for the bbc radio 1 as a researcher in the 80s and she’s heard rumours about Jimmy too, but nothing more than Jimmy being a groper.

@@TedBarton91 Yeah look how many pedos have turned up in the last 8 months that you didn’t know about and now you do. You should never say never mate 😎

You should offer to help the police.

@@timothydraper3687 But then they'd be left with no crimes to solve!

@@hithere981i read that he met up with him,went round his house a few other times in addition to the interviews

Couldn't agree more.

Give him half a chance and he'll convince you that nobody would have ever suspected Saville.

Bollocks. His show was just the same as Andrew Neill's 'This is your life', five years earlier. An exploitation of the public appetite. Only he didn't deliver. In fact he might have re-enforced/begun the narrative of "Hey, he fooled the entire UK public, so you can't expect me to be any different", that Neill has since pushed.

Brilliant assessment 😂

And changing the subject when uncomfortable was Savile's thing. Interesting....

JS had connections which gave him carte blanche. It was an open secret

And Louis Theroux took him up on it and they met several times! After what I see in that documentary I’d never go near that weirdo again! Keeps his dead mums clothes…. Theroux is strange

@@sbnqy what's strange about keeping your dead mom's clothes? It reminds you of your mom as it belonged to her It's only cos it's a creep that it becomes weird?

Sometimes to move up the ladder of journalistic entertainment, I'm sure there are times you have to give up some editorial control

* Savile

1 million US dollars easy

Bringing up statements made by his ex-wife is also pretty fucking wild though, I think anyone would necessarily become somewhat defensive here. There's untold emotional baggage here.

He's very entertaining and fascinating on a surface level but let's not kid ourselves here. Actual investigative journalists are either dead, or have to vigilantly move indefinitely as their life is in danger 24/7. (Ie. Michael Hastings, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Whitney Webb etc).

@lebumjames1373 I wouldn't put Louis in a category with Assange or Sniwden. Theroux has some integrity.

​​@@joanneadair9227Snowden has integrity. He's been let down by his government. The man gave up his life to expose horrific abuses by government.

Of course, they believe themselves the abitars of truth. Not that they get to the truth these days.

@@davea1752 Complete misunderstanding of NPD there, I’m afraid.

It absolutely was. It was the job of any decent human who knew.

@@frontenac5083 always a very appropriate name for him I thought. Thanks for the correction.

Do you know how interviewing works, yes or no?

@@jonharrison9222 Can you smell your own farts?

Projecting hard

CLUE: He was loved by Royalty and buried in a gold-coffin with a guard of Honour.

What was Saville talking about cracking. I mean if you think like him hhe was into some

Just like the royal family then.

@@aina2165 you got that right. There all disturbed in one way or another, you hit the nail on the head.. Props.

Nah, he simply easily recognised it in others who practice it.

Tep, totally agree that he was trying to put Louie on the backfoot - to gain control of the situation. He might have been scared of being found out or it's possible he might just do that in most situations like a lot of absuive people do

@Stranded in Paradise I agree, it was absolutely about regaining power & control, for JS. Offended that Louis had the 'audacity' to begin seeing through the illusion, JS took pleasure in punishing him; humiliating LT via feigned outrage & baseless accusations. JS evidently got off on feeling like 'the puppet master'. Not only was everyone else just collateral damage to him, but he also gained a sadistic pleasure from the confusion, pain & suffering he generated. Horrifyingly, his 'Jim'll Fix It' show only extended that reach, reaffirming & embellishing an already ingrained 'God Complex'.

Saville was a complete evil bastard, he was given free access to hospitals we're he done obscene stuff, filthy bastard..

Louis lost all respect as a journalist when he failed to uncover JS, even despite the many suspicions surrounding him. He then cashed in on his failure with a second doc after JS was uncovered which was basically his own attempted at Stalinist revisionism. He makes good TV but the man is full of shit.
