Jimmy Savile scandal no joke, says BBC

There isn't much to laugh about in the Jimmy Savile scandal but even there was, don't expect too many bellyaches from any of the BBC's output. At least that's what comedian Dara O'Briain claims. He says he's been told not to make any wisecracks about Savile on his Mock the Week show. "I don't think they wanted anything about that on Mock the Week, so we were the one organisation which couldn't talk about Jimmy Savile," he told the Sun. The BBC, which has been slow to come forward on almost every issue raised in relation to the Savile scandal, insists there is "no Savile filter" in place.
