Sir Jimmy Savile

Sir Jimmy Saville is a British entertainer and presenter. Saville (born 1926) began his career as an all-in wrestler before becoming a disc jockey in the clubs of the north of England, in and around his home city of Leeds. He was an early DJ on the BBC's pop music radio station Radio 1 and was the first presenter on BBC Televsion's iconic and long running show Top of The Pops. From the 1970s he hosted 'Jim'll Fix It' where he granted requests to (mainly) children; the show was revived in 2007. He is also noted for his charity work: he has run numerous marathons, and also does sterling unpaid work in hospital mortuaries. He still lives in Leeds, in a flat he shares with his late mother's clothes. He is unmarried.
