He spent 20 years from 1964 presenting Top of the Pops before a teenage audience, and an overlapping 20 years presenting Jim'll Fix It, in which he helped the wishes of viewers, mainly children, come true. Former High Court judge Dame Janet Smith, who led the inquiry into serial killer Harold Shipman, was to review the culture and practices of the BBC during the time Savile worked there,[61] and Nick Pollard, a former Sky News executive, would look at why the Newsnight investigation was dropped shortly before transmission.

Of the alleged victims, 82% were female and 80% were children or young people. [104], The Metropolitan Police Service stated on 4 October 2012 that its Child Abuse Investigation Command would lead a process of assessing the allegations. An article ran in a national Sunday paper describing the mass burials. [161], Savile's family asked "out of respect to public opinion" that his gravestone be taken from the cemetery where his body is buried.

[140] A copy of the report was to be passed to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. [153] This was supported by former minister Tim Loughton and the NSPCC. [27] A former headmistress of the school said she had been "hoodwinked" by Savile,[28] but described some of those who had brought the allegations as "delinquents". "[45], An update to the original documentary, Exposure Update: The Jimmy Savile Investigation, was shown on ITV on 21 November. [79], In November 2012, Dame Janet Smith called for evidence, from people who were the subject of inappropriate sexual conduct by Savile on BBC premises, or on location for the BBC; people who knew of or suspected such conduct; anyone who raised concerns about Savile's conduct within the BBC; people who worked for or with Savile on programmes at the BBC between about 1964 and 2007, or who were familiar with "the culture or practices of the BBC during that time insofar as they may have been relevant to preventing or enabling the sexual abuse of children, young people or teenagers"; and people who held senior positions at the BBC who may have relevant information.
