BBC One - The Reckoning, Series 1, Episode 2

Savile engineers more opportunities to further conceal his abusive behaviour.

Now at the height of his fame, Savile engineers more opportunities for charity work to further conceal his abusive behaviour.

Top of the Pops made Savile a household name. His growing influence within the BBC and at a range of institutions enabled him to act with
apparent impunity. This episode explores the appalling impact of his crimes and the difficulties faced by those who tried to raise the alarm.
