New drama 鈥楾he Reckoning鈥� is a four-part series that draws on the real-life experiences of people whose lives were impacted by the serial abuser Jimmy Savile.

Speaking to 5 Live鈥檚 Clare McDonnell, Sam Brown, one of the survivors who was abused at the age 11, said: 鈥淚 was in the gym when the first complaints (about Savile) came through and I froze straight away.

鈥淚 thought if I don鈥檛 take control of this, I鈥檓 going to go to my coma place, so I drove to the police station and I reported it.鈥�

Sam was asked if she could have had her moment with Jimmy Savile in court, what she would have said to him?

Sam said: 鈥淚 would say to him, you took away the opportunity for many young people and vulnerable people that needed caring, you took that away from them and changed their direction of life.鈥�

You can watch 鈥楾he Reckoning鈥� on 蜜芽传媒 iPlayer from Monday 9 October at 21:00.
