Steve Coogan: Jimmy Savile film needed to be made
Actor and comedian Steve Coogan has taken on the role of Jimmy Savile in an upcoming ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ drama.
Speaking to 5 Live’s Nihal Arthanayake, he said the drama needed to be made.
He said, “the script is very well written and it’s something that needs to be talked about - to understand how predators operate, you have to look at the whole picture.â€
“If you don’t talk about [Savile’s crimes]… you’re destined for other characters like Jimmy Savile to come along.â€
