The BBC is set to air a new drama covering the story of Jimmy Savile and the abuse scandal that emerged after his death.
Producers have said that they have worked with those impacted by Savile's crimes to tell the story for the drama entitled Reckoning with "sensitivity and respect".
But news of the documentary has left a sour taste in the mouth for many.
There were 72 victims of Savile, in connection with his work at the BBC alone. At least eight were raped.

Many people in Leeds have slammed the BBC as 'disgusting' for creating the documentary and say that in doing so, his name is being glorified.
One person wrote: "The BBC are obviously not giving a thought to the victims who were put through hell then silenced. It disgusting that the BBC are even thinking about making a drama about that paedophile, let him rot in hell where he belongs."
A TV viewer called on the broadcaster to think of all his victims, writing: "Why should his name be glorified in a drama absolutely sick - his poor victims having to relive their terror for the sake of TV."
Another said: "They haven't given any thought for the victims.
"Why does anyone need to be reminded of what he did? It will be so hard for you all. I hope they don't do it. The BBC should be ashamed of themselves."
One person even called for the drama not to be made.
They said: "I don't think this should be made. There are many, many victims of this evil paedo.
"Many who reported him and weren't believed or were shut up due to his affiliations with the police, church, royalty , politicians and his TV persona /charity.
"There has been many documentaries about him which have been painful for all victims but this should not go ahead. Its not entertainment, its people' s lives being ruined by an evil man".
It is thought that the late Top of the Pops and Jim'll Fix It presenter sexually abused as many as 500 vulnerable victims, with some as young as two years old.
In Leeds, it is thought that Savile abused at least 33 patients in hospital from five to 75.
