0:00:12 > 0:00:14Now then, now then, now then.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19My goodness gracious. How about that?
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Wahey! There you go. Goodbye.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23We have a letter here.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25"Dear Jimmy, my special thing

0:00:31 > 0:00:32The greatest boxer.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Music, Maestro, if you please.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Why am I standing like this? As it happens, I don't know.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42I have been struck on the chin by the master!
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Goes on there, like that...
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Fred, I love you.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54They're trying to get me to stop smoking.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Ladies and gentlemen, from Top Of The Pops,

0:01:03 > 0:01:06and the well-being of this beloved country.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Never mind about "pfft"!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10It's being rotted away by corrupt films
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and your telly and your bloody BBC's the worst of the lot
0:01:13 > 0:01:14with that Top Of The Pops
0:01:14 > 0:01:17and the evil painted youths dressed up like girls
0:01:17 > 0:01:23and that middle-aged peroxide albino "Clunk Click" ponce they've got in charge of it!
0:01:23 > 0:01:24How about that?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26APPLAUSE
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I'll tell you what we'll do now, ladies and gentlemen.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44by what is definitely one of the top groups.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46In fact, they've been voted the top group
0:01:46 > 0:01:49in the rhythm and blues section this year, 1967.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52No other than the one and only, The Rolling Stones.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And here they come right now.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57MUSIC: "Let's Spend The Night Together"

0:03:08 > 0:03:12Here we are, back home again, with today's edition of Savile's Travels.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Down at the bottom...
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Whatever you may think of Jimmy Savile, you can't ignore him.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Spending a day with him
0:03:19 > 0:03:22has all the frenzy of an American election campaign.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26And Jimmy Savile himself has all the instincts of a natural politician.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29How are you, ladies? All right, darlings?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Oh, Jimmy!
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Give us a kiss, then.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35My word, my word!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38They'll not believe me that I've kissed Jimmy Savile.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39You may love him, you may hate him
0:03:39 > 0:03:43but you can't deny he's a man with style - his style.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Good evening. Welcome. Another edition of Top Of The Pops.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Lots of nice young ladies about with us this evening
0:03:49 > 0:03:52and lots of nice records we've got, so we're going to start with...
0:03:52 > 0:03:55This girl is crazy about this group. It's number 19.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- It's called Co-Co. What's the name of the group?- Sweet.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00She's crazy about them. Here they are.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11# Co-Co would dream of dancing
0:04:11 > 0:04:14# At midnight beneath the stars
0:04:14 > 0:04:18# Cos when it comes to dancing
0:04:18 > 0:04:20# Co-Co's a star
0:04:20 > 0:04:24# He danced in a ring of fire
0:04:24 > 0:04:28# That circled the island shore
0:04:29 > 0:04:32# And as the flames got higher
0:04:32 > 0:04:35# They all called for more and more
0:04:36 > 0:04:40# Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho, Co-Co
0:04:40 > 0:04:44# Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho, Co-Co
0:04:44 > 0:04:50# Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho, go-go, Co-Co
0:04:50 > 0:04:54# Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho, Co-Co
0:04:54 > 0:04:58# Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho, Co-Co
0:04:58 > 0:05:04# Ho-chi-ka-ka-ho, go-go, Co-Co... #
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I know there are people who think my appearing
0:05:09 > 0:05:12on Top Of The Tops in all the hair and clothes,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15they think that's a bit vulgar, but on the long journey through life,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19like this long bike ride to John O'Groats,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22a man has to do what he has to do.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I know that I live and work in a candyfloss type of business.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I know they think I do all these things for publicity.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32All I can say about the wild hair and the wild clothes
0:05:32 > 0:05:35is that no man need be ashamed of his working clothes
0:05:35 > 0:05:39and I looked a lot funnier when I was coming back from the pits.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I looked like a one-man Black & White Minstrel Show.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I looked very strange then and I suppose I look very strange now.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I wasn't ashamed then, nor am I ashamed now.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51You made a name for yourself in the early days,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- being outrageously different. - Really? Really?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Yes, of course. But when was the first time before
0:05:56 > 0:05:57you got into show business
0:05:57 > 0:06:01that you sort of challenged the norm and dressed up differently?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04One of the times was when I was working down South Kirkby colliery,
0:06:04 > 0:06:05near you of course...
0:06:05 > 0:06:09The cages that dropped the men also dropped the coal,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12so you have to go down what's called a man drop
0:06:12 > 0:06:15because they have to alter the cage for safety reasons to take tubs of coal.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18If you missed the last man drop, you'd had it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21If you missed it, you didn't get any wages and in those days,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24you could get fined for not being at work.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25A far cry from today.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I nearly was too late
0:06:28 > 0:06:32and I had arrived, funnily enough, in a navy blue suit,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35which we were allowed one best suit in those days, if you remember.
0:06:35 > 0:06:41I had my best suit on and suede shoes, a white shirt.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43And so I just had time to get my two lamps,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46because I had a job where I had two lamps, rushed down the pit
0:06:46 > 0:06:49and stood at the bottom of the pit to get the lamps checked,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51dressed immaculate.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55So the man who checks all the lamps, never looked at the punter,
0:06:55 > 0:06:56used to go...
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Suddenly sees the crease in the trouser and suede shoes
0:07:01 > 0:07:02and he goes...
0:07:02 > 0:07:07And a white shirt and a tie... And a Bevin boy. He went...
0:07:09 > 0:07:12So I had a job on my own, a mile and a half away
0:07:12 > 0:07:16from the pit bottom and two miles from the coal face.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19So I took all my clothes off because it's very warm down the pit.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I took my clothes off and folded them in a newspaper
0:07:22 > 0:07:23and worked in the noddy. Right?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26And I saved a little bit of water in a bottle
0:07:26 > 0:07:29and just before it were knocking off time,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I cleaned my hands off and cleaned my face off, right.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I got back into the pit bottom immaculate.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Now then, nobody but nobody ever did eight hours down a pit
0:07:39 > 0:07:43and came back as immaculate as they set off with a white shirt
0:07:43 > 0:07:45and everything like that.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48They were quite convinced I was a witch.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52And I never said a word and I suddenly realised,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55that if you were different and you didn't say anything about it,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57this had a tremendous effect on people
0:07:57 > 0:07:59and that stayed with me for ages.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02If you go to South Kirkby now, get some of the old miners...
0:08:02 > 0:08:05When you say, "Jimmy Savile's done well, hasn't he?"
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Oh, and he'll look around and he'll say,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09"He's not what you think, you know."
0:08:10 > 0:08:13"The forces of darkness are at work there."
0:08:13 > 0:08:16So that was the first time that I realised to be different
0:08:16 > 0:08:18made you different.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- You don't have a lead without collar, do you?- Sometimes.- Do you?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- That's good. Is that your husband behind?- Almost.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Oh, ladies and gentlemen, I'll tell you what we'll have now,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30as number 19, ladies and gentlemen, Part Of The Union from the Strawbs.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32APPLAUSE
0:08:36 > 0:08:39# Now I'm a union man
0:08:39 > 0:08:42# Amazed at what I am
0:08:42 > 0:08:44# I say what I think
0:08:44 > 0:08:46# That the company stinks
0:08:46 > 0:08:48# Yes, I'm a union man
0:08:49 > 0:08:52# When we meet in the local hall
0:08:52 > 0:08:55# I'll be voting with them all
0:08:55 > 0:08:56# With a hell of a shout
0:08:56 > 0:08:58# It's out, brothers, out
0:08:58 > 0:09:01# And the rise of the company's fall
0:09:01 > 0:09:03# Oh, you don't get me
0:09:03 > 0:09:05# I'm part of the union
0:09:05 > 0:09:06# You don't get me
0:09:06 > 0:09:08# I'm part of the union
0:09:08 > 0:09:09# You don't get me
0:09:09 > 0:09:11# I'm part of the union
0:09:11 > 0:09:14# Till the day I die
0:09:14 > 0:09:16# Till the day I die
0:09:21 > 0:09:24# As a union man, I'm wise
0:09:25 > 0:09:27# To the lies of the company's spies
0:09:28 > 0:09:31# And I don't get fooled by the company rules
0:09:31 > 0:09:34# Cos I always read between the lines... #
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Why the blonde hair? Why the pink hair?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41It all started off with a casual conversation with a young fellow
0:09:41 > 0:09:44who was a hair stylist.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47So I said, "Turn me into a raving blonde." He said, "Yeah, sure."
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I went back and sprang onto the stage of my dance floor,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53to see how my disc jockeys were going on
0:09:53 > 0:09:56and it brought the place to a standstill.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Everybody gathered round.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03They were going, "Oh, oh." There was this enormous reaction, you see.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I thought, I've stumbled on something here.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09You look as though you're in jail with all this wire.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14You're not a monkey, are you? Are you a monkey through the bars?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18You're a monkey through the bars, you are.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20You are on television at this moment.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24A stray television crew, a dozen reporters, 1,000 autographs.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27He attracts attention like a Roman candle.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Jimmy Savile feeds off people.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Jimmy, it's nearly two o'clock in the morning,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34it's absolutely chucking it down.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35What are we doing it for?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I know what I'm doing it for.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40This is what's called the moment of truth, you see.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43After all the fun and games, of all the people during the day,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45you've still got to do the miles to get to Land's End
0:10:45 > 0:10:49and even though it snows and even though there's nobody about,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51it's the moment of truth. This is what it is.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54And how long do you go on walking? Do you walk like this every night?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56You've got to walk like this to get the miles in,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00on account of you see what it was like in the day with the autographs and that.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I got the impression that the toughest part of the walk
0:11:03 > 0:11:05is fighting your way through the crowds.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Yeah, you can tell how many miles you've done
0:11:07 > 0:11:10by the amount of pen ink on your hands after you've stripped off
0:11:10 > 0:11:13the million bits of paper and signed it like that.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16After a scene like that, very nice to see, all them lovely people,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19but this to me is the great part of the night
0:11:19 > 0:11:23because it's peaceful, it's quiet, everybody is in bed.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26You're walking along, you're soaked to the skin, your feet hurt
0:11:26 > 0:11:28and it's good for you.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I think I am round the bend.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Now then, yes, sir.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Number five in the hit parade, Tami Lynn - I'm Gonna Run Away From You.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48# Why don't I run away from you?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54# Everybody say run away, find another boy to play with
0:11:55 > 0:11:58# That's not easy to do-oo-oo
0:12:01 > 0:12:06# With someone new-oo
0:12:09 > 0:12:11# Uh-ho, yeah
0:12:12 > 0:12:14# You know I do
0:12:17 > 0:12:21# Why don't I run away and hide?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28# Oh, it's very nice, their advice I've already done it twice
0:12:29 > 0:12:32# They don't know how I've tried
0:12:34 > 0:12:37# I've lost my pride... #
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- One more time.- Jim.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50What do you feel about having the medal?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53It's fantastic. Can you see my heart beating under it?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Yes, I can. - That's my heart beating under it.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I'm so proud of it, I'm going to sleep in it.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01People have said to me, "Here, what about all this hospital work?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04"Surely this has to be a publicity gimmick."
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Five minutes in a hospital
0:13:08 > 0:13:10is a gimmick,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13if you've got the newspapers there, if you've got the television there.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Five minutes is a gimmick.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Five years...it's not a gimmick.
0:13:19 > 0:13:25Some years ago, in my copious fan mail,
0:13:25 > 0:13:30I got a notice telling me that I was an honorary member
0:13:30 > 0:13:34of Nutters Incorporated, run by some of the patients
0:13:34 > 0:13:38at the world-famous Broadmoor Hospital.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42So, I've been there, on and off, every week since.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45So much so that about 18 months ago,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49the hospital actually officially whether I would join the staff
0:13:49 > 0:13:53and I am now honorary assistant entertainment officer.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57This is the world-famous Stoke Mandeville hospital. It's two hospitals in one.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01On the left-hand side, there's a large general, medical and surgical hospital,
0:14:01 > 0:14:06on the right-hand side is the most famous spinal unit in the whole world.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Are you taking my pulse?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Naturally, people say to me,
0:14:10 > 0:14:15"Has all this working in different kinds of hospitals done you any personal favours?"
0:14:15 > 0:14:18And I say that the whole pattern of that which I do
0:14:18 > 0:14:20has done me tremendous favours,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23because I feel I am filling all my spare days with great joy.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27I've met some super people and being with them is far better for me
0:14:27 > 0:14:30than being in any pub.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I am enriched by being there, being with the patients.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37I'm not doing them any favours, they're doing me the favour.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41And at number 10, Elton John, Daniel.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52# Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
0:14:55 > 0:15:01# I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
0:15:01 > 0:15:06# Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
0:15:09 > 0:15:11# Oh, it looks like Daniel
0:15:14 > 0:15:19# Must be the clouds in my eyes
0:15:25 > 0:15:28# They say Spain is pretty, though I've never been
0:15:32 > 0:15:38# Daniel says it's the best place he's ever seen
0:15:38 > 0:15:40# Oh and
0:15:40 > 0:15:43# He should know, he's been there enough
0:15:45 > 0:15:48# Oh, I miss Daniel
0:15:50 > 0:15:55# Oh, I miss him so much... #
0:16:20 > 0:16:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Super, super, super.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28Also just back off a long trip from Australia, New Zealand
0:16:28 > 0:16:31and Japan as well, The one and only, Slade.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33APPLAUSE
0:16:42 > 0:16:46# Every day, when I'm away,
0:16:46 > 0:16:49# I'm thinking of you
0:16:51 > 0:16:54# Everyone can carry on,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57# Except for we two
0:16:59 > 0:17:03# And you know that our love
0:17:03 > 0:17:07# And you know that I
0:17:07 > 0:17:13# And you know that our love won't die
0:17:14 > 0:17:18# And it won't even show
0:17:20 > 0:17:22# And no-one will know
0:17:24 > 0:17:28# One little wave
0:17:28 > 0:17:31# To say you'll behave... #
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Have you ever had any chance to use these powers
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- for the good of people? - Mankind.- Yes.- Well, Jimmy,
0:17:38 > 0:17:44I don't think today I can already use these powers
0:17:44 > 0:17:48to the good of people because I have no final explanation to them
0:17:48 > 0:17:50and I hope in the near future,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I could put this power to good use somewhere.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- I mean, not technically more but to help people more.- Good, I like it.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02You like it but right now, many people who are watching me don't like it
0:18:02 > 0:18:06because they immediately think, this guy wants to take over the world if he has this power.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10So Jimmy, you see, you have your views, but other people have their views.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Sure.- That's why I can't go healing around.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Listen, if the good Lord, when he was doing his thing,
0:18:16 > 0:18:21if he bothered about people not seeing eye to eye with him, he would've got nowhere
0:18:21 > 0:18:23and a lot of us would've got nowhere into the bargain.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Therefore, you've got to square your shoulders and stand up to be counted.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30You haven't got to pay too much attention
0:18:30 > 0:18:33to whether people think you're not doing the right thing.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35As long as your conscience is clear, you're OK.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Should you, for all the ladies and gentleman here
0:18:38 > 0:18:40and all those watching, should you feel
0:18:40 > 0:18:44if you want to do anything at all before we finish, feel free to say so,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47feel free to do so, you can do with me what you want.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Um, all right. I'll turn around,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I won't look, I'll close my eyes.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- Huh?- You draw and this is your paper, your pen,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59you draw here something but don't make it complicated. Simple.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Make it very simple.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05And what I want you to do is concentrate on what you drew.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Finished?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Yes. - Cover it so I won't see it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Look, I'm not giving my time to it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21If I fail, I fail, if I'm right, I'm right. I got something from you,
0:19:21 > 0:19:22it doesn't make sense to me.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26The first thing that started coming were three lines like that
0:19:26 > 0:19:29and nothing really... It does not make sense.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Yes, it does.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34LAUGHTER
0:19:34 > 0:19:39No, I'm concentrating on this day and night and, and...
0:19:39 > 0:19:41LAUGHTER
0:19:41 > 0:19:47- So, you've got... - Can I see this?- Yes. Yes.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49LAUGHS
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- You see, my mind is not rude!- Yes!
0:19:52 > 0:19:54LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:20:21 > 0:20:22APPLAUSE
0:20:22 > 0:20:25First, tell the ladies and gentleman how old you are.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26- 12 years old.- 12?- Yes.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28How long have you been playing piano?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- About five years now.- Five years?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35If I'd been playing for 12 years, and I was five years old, I still couldn't play like that.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Are you... this uniform you've got, which school is this?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Cheetham's Hospital School of Music in Manchester.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42- The famous one?- Yes.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- How many guys and girls have you got there?- About 400.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Yes? All musically inclined?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Some of them, not all of them but most of them.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51See, culture is a very big thing.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I was starved of it for many years, so I'm making up for it now.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57And if I'd known, why did you pick that piece of music?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Well, it's called La Chasse and it's about a hunt
0:21:00 > 0:21:03and I think you always seem to be chasing around the place.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Eh? Eh?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Friends, Dr David Bellamy.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11APPLAUSE
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Roll him down here.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16There we are.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Can I come out? - I was just going to go over there.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- You come out over here. - There we are.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24You've got some Bellamy botany round your foot.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- That will make me feel at home. - What is this?- That's ivy.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Ivy? Ivy!- Who's she?- Who's she?
0:21:31 > 0:21:35We've got some gunge along because you told us
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- you lived off the land in... Was it Ireland?- In Iceland, actually.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Iceland!- I lived for ten days...
0:21:40 > 0:21:44I had no money at all so I had to eat what I could find. I didn't eat terribly much.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48You'd be much, much better living off the land round about the British Isles.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- There's nice things on here.- Where is this? Where did we get this from?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55This all comes from virtually any bit of seaside round about.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58In amongst here, we've got one we can really have a go at.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I don't want you to chew the wrong one. There you are.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- That's not a bad one. A nice crunchy bit, OK?- Give us some.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Right. Is it genuine seaweed, this? - Genuine seaweed.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Is any seaweed poisonous, first of all?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- There is one poisonous seaweed in the British Isles.- Ah.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18- I promise you that isn't it.- No, I'm not so much bothered about me. When my time comes, it comes.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22But I wouldn't like a lot of guys and gals to rush off on their holidays this year
0:22:22 > 0:22:25and start consuming seaweed, cos there's poisonous ones.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29You really have got to be an expert if you're going to start eating things in our countryside.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34- Take primroses...- I haven't got rid of this yet. I won't die, will I?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36No, no, no. Promise.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38LAUGHTER
0:22:38 > 0:22:43- Camera two.- Go away, so he can spit it out.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Which now brings us right into the time for A Song For Europe.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51APPLAUSE
0:22:56 > 0:23:02# Long, long live love
0:23:02 > 0:23:08# Love is to care
0:23:08 > 0:23:13# Caring and sharing
0:23:13 > 0:23:17# Long, long live love. #
0:23:17 > 0:23:20COMMENTATOR: Jimmy Savile is public property.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24He is everybody's cousin, everybody's blood brother.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29He has to be jolly, zany, "our Jim", whether he likes it or not.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Lorry drivers, autograph hunters,
0:23:31 > 0:23:35television interviewers - he takes them all in his stride.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Haydon Bridge, a small town between Brantham and Hexham,
0:23:38 > 0:23:43has not exactly been inundated with disc jockeys doing marathon runs.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47The reception as the Jimmy Savile road show bowled into town
0:23:47 > 0:23:51proved that the occasion was the biggest the town had seen in years.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55The look in the eyes of the fans never admits that JS is anything but superhuman.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58And accordingly, no-one thinks to let him get his breath back.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03He's straight into the autograph scene he knows so well and values so much.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06For Jim is nothing if not publicity conscious.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Gimmicks have made him the success he is
0:24:09 > 0:24:11and he'll never stop believing in them.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Now then, just hold on and I'll sign this lot and you can get the next lot.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17When you get yours, go round to the back, all right?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26# I want to drive in a big black Rolls
0:24:26 > 0:24:29# And I want to score one of Liverpool's goals
0:24:29 > 0:24:32# Jim'll Fix It
0:24:32 > 0:24:34# Jim'll Fix It
0:24:34 > 0:24:37# If there's anything you want to do
0:24:37 > 0:24:41# Like be rescued by a lifeboat crew
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- # Jim'll Fix It - Jim'll Fix It
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- # Yes, he'll fix it - Jim'll Fix It
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- # Fix it for you now - Jim'll Fix It
0:24:51 > 0:24:54# Just for you now... # APPLAUSE
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Ladies and gentlemen, it so happens I've spent a greater part of my life
0:24:58 > 0:25:00fixing things for people, you see.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04So the BBC decided, "Why not put it all on film?"
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Which is why we call it Jim'll Fix It.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08We have been getting all sorts of letters in.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11We've got about 9,000 letters up to press.
0:25:11 > 0:25:17The sorts of letters that we got to fix was this one from Wendy of Weybridge.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18She says, "Dear Jimmy,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21"I've always wanted to versus someone in boxing..."
0:25:21 > 0:25:24That means box somebody else, obviously.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34That's all right. So we might be able to do something there.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Number two here. Paul from Kensington.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50There's a message for Paul just now.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51HORN HONKS
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Because Paul has made a spelling mistake.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Any spelling mistakes we get in letters gets one of these.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Don't worry too much. I make mistakes in spelling as well, but I'm not proud of them either.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Right, we'll try and sort that out.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Now, then, Simon writes to us from Leicestershire and he says...
0:26:14 > 0:26:18So that means to say that the other four are giving him a bit of this
0:26:18 > 0:26:21and he wants to surprise them with a bit of that.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Right. We'll try and fix all those things for them.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30As it happens, ladies and gentlemen, we are now going to show you
0:26:30 > 0:26:34a film of a gentleman diving into a swimming pool. Just like this.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13That was Gary Smart from Windsor Safari Park,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15riding on the back of his killer whale.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20But we got a letter from Mhairi Reid from St Albans and she says,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24"Dear Jim, I have always had an itching to ride on a dolphin's back.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27"I can swim very well. I'm 14 years old.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29"Please could you try and fix it for me?"
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Mr Smart, do you think I could swim with one of the dolphins?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Yes, Jim asked me to fix it, so certainly, yes, OK.- Thank you.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40Right, there it is.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43# Jim'll Fix It
0:27:43 > 0:27:46# Jim'll Fix It... #
0:28:14 > 0:28:17All I said was, "Who would like to be on television?"
0:28:17 > 0:28:21That's all I said. They all came and crushed in like this.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25As it happens, it's the number one sound, it is Dancing Queen, it's ABBA,
0:28:25 > 0:28:27and my friends, from left to right,
0:28:27 > 0:28:31it's Mary, Marge, Ruth, Fred, Harry, Dick, Tom, and they all say hello.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35# You can dance
0:28:35 > 0:28:38# You can jive
0:28:38 > 0:28:41# Having the time of your life
0:28:41 > 0:28:45# Oooh, see that girl
0:28:45 > 0:28:47# Watch that scene
0:28:47 > 0:28:52# Digging the dancing queen
0:28:57 > 0:29:01# Friday night and the lights are low
0:29:01 > 0:29:06# Looking out for a place to go
0:29:06 > 0:29:09# Where they play the right music
0:29:09 > 0:29:11# Getting in the swing
0:29:11 > 0:29:13# You come to look for a king
0:29:16 > 0:29:21# Anybody could be that guy
0:29:21 > 0:29:24# The night is young and the music's high... #
0:29:24 > 0:29:27How many requests do you get on this programme?
0:29:27 > 0:29:31We average about 20,000 letters a week.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- A week?- Yes.- Strewth. - Winter and summer.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38If you misbehave at the BBC, they put you on opening the Jim'll Fix It mail.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44- A penance.- After four hours,
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- you run down the corridor, "Jim'll Fix It!" - HE JABBERS
0:29:47 > 0:29:52Danny Slater and Gwen Charlton were a young gentleman and a young lady
0:29:52 > 0:29:56and we were able to fix them both together, because quite coincidentally,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59from different parts of the country, Danny wanted to read the news
0:29:59 > 0:30:03and Gwen wanted to ride a white horse through the newsroom
0:30:03 > 0:30:06at the back of the newsreaders without them knowing.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07We did have a few problems,
0:30:07 > 0:30:11because the newsroom happens to be on the sixth floor of Television Centre.
0:30:18 > 0:30:24Good evening. World-famous concert pianist John Lill stormed out of the BBC this evening,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27saying, "This piano ain't big enough for the both of us."
0:30:29 > 0:30:32The world-famous detective Mr Moon has done it again.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Earlier today, he arrested the notorious bank robbers
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Polaroid Cairns and Stocky McDonough.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41At a hastily assembled press conference, Mr Moon said,
0:30:41 > 0:30:44"I don't know why you are hastily assembling this press conference
0:30:44 > 0:30:47"because my statement is, I have no statement to make."
0:30:47 > 0:30:50IN DANNY'S ACCENT: Good news for the Post Office...
0:30:50 > 0:30:54IN HIS OWN ACCENT: I mean, good news for the Post Office.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57The Jim'll Fix It office has received over 40,000 letters,
0:30:57 > 0:31:02representing at least £3,000 in stamp revenue alone.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Said a BBC postman, "Tut, tut, tut, dear, oh, Lord."
0:31:09 > 0:31:13At last night's film premiere of The Fastest Gun In West Suffolk,
0:31:13 > 0:31:16sensational new screen idol Bill Lloyd Peacock
0:31:16 > 0:31:19arrived in a blaze of publicity.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Mounted police had to restrain a surging crowd of nearly three.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Inside the cinema, there were further violent scenes
0:31:27 > 0:31:29when the ice-cream lady ran out of Raspberry Ripples.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Now, here's a late news item.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Gwen Charlton of Morpeth, Northumberland, is missing.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39She was last seen riding a white horse in the vicinity of the BBC Television Centre.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43And that's all for the moment. So from Danny Slater and me, good night.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48APPLAUSE
0:31:50 > 0:31:54How about that? Riding a white horse through the newsroom
0:31:54 > 0:31:57when they're not looking is really a wild idea.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02If you should have any wild ideas of your own that you would like us to fix,
0:32:02 > 0:32:04do let us know, really wild ones,
0:32:04 > 0:32:08because when the show comes back, God willing it will be coming back,
0:32:08 > 0:32:12then we'd like, the more the merrier, really wild ideas like that.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Not just meeting people, they're OK, but we want some really wild ones.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01Excuse me, Mr Gerbil? Can I ask you to come and stand by me, please?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Because this is becoming very amazing, is this.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Do you like being a gerbil?
0:33:09 > 0:33:10That's very lovely.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12I'm going to let everybody into a secret,
0:33:12 > 0:33:14because I'm going to go like this.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Ta-da! Ta-da!
0:33:19 > 0:33:21A real live young lady in there.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23APPLAUSE

0:33:36 > 0:33:41# How you going to get your day's work done? #
0:33:47 > 0:33:50How about this one? It's Human League. Thank you.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55# When you're in love, you know you're in love
0:33:55 > 0:33:59# No matter what you try to do
0:33:59 > 0:34:03# You might as well resign yourself
0:34:03 > 0:34:07# To what you're going through
0:34:07 > 0:34:11# If you're a hard man or if you're a child
0:34:11 > 0:34:15# It still might get to you
0:34:15 > 0:34:19# Don't kid yourself you've seen it all before
0:34:19 > 0:34:23# A million mouths have said that too
0:34:39 > 0:34:43# I've had my hard times in the past
0:34:43 > 0:34:47# I've been a husband and a lover too
0:34:47 > 0:34:50# I've lain alone and cried at night
0:34:50 > 0:34:54# Over what love made me do
0:34:54 > 0:34:59# And the loved ones who let me down
0:34:59 > 0:35:02# And couldn't share my point of view... #
0:35:02 > 0:35:07Shall I tell you a good Fix It I did with a young lady at Buckingham Palace? I was at a reception there.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- That's the place where the Queen lives...- They keep the Queen there.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13It's not an easy gaff to penetrate.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17- Very, very... - What's that? Not an easy...? - Not an easy place to get into.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21- Aha!- So I was at this reception
0:35:21 > 0:35:24and there was a very nice lady and gentleman said to me,
0:35:24 > 0:35:28"My daughter would be so pleased to know that I've met you," and this that and the other.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33I said, "Oh, yes? Where is she?" She said, "In the back of the car."
0:35:33 > 0:35:35I said, "What, in the boot?"
0:35:35 > 0:35:40She said, "No, we sneaked in the back of the car so she can say she's been in the Palace courtyard."
0:35:40 > 0:35:44I said, "You've got her stuck out there?" I said, "Leave it to me."
0:35:44 > 0:35:47They went, "No, please, don't!"
0:35:47 > 0:35:52So I went to see a minder and said, "We've got this situation and I'm bringing a friend in."
0:35:52 > 0:35:55They said, "Nobody is going to object to you." I said, "All right."
0:35:55 > 0:35:58The Palace staff are the most excellent people. On the way out,
0:35:58 > 0:36:01I explained very briefly. They said, "Leave it to us."
0:36:01 > 0:36:05I went out into the car park, which is a courtyard inside the Palace,
0:36:05 > 0:36:07and I shouted the young lady's name.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11Next minute, she's holding my arm, and we're marching up the steps into the Palace.
0:36:11 > 0:36:17Two footmen opened the doors, there were majors and colonels and household staff -
0:36:17 > 0:36:21it's the most elegant situation and tremendously rewarding.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24When she sees the spectacle of the carpet and the people there,
0:36:24 > 0:36:27and they all gave a graceful dip as she walked by.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30She was now hanging on to me like a lifebelt!
0:36:30 > 0:36:34And we walked up the steps and into the room where the reception was,
0:36:34 > 0:36:36in a room called the Bow Room.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Prince Philip, who's a marvellous geezer,
0:36:39 > 0:36:43happened to be just standing inside the door, parroting to somebody.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45So I went, "Pssst!"
0:36:45 > 0:36:47LAUGHTER
0:36:48 > 0:36:52It was a prearranged signal, no doubt!
0:36:52 > 0:36:55There's not a lot of people go, "Psssst!" inside the Palace!
0:36:55 > 0:37:00So he slung a butcher's, like this,
0:37:00 > 0:37:04sees me, and I do the nod. I went...
0:37:06 > 0:37:08He doesn't know where this young lady's appeared from,
0:37:08 > 0:37:10with a long coat on and bumpy shoes,
0:37:10 > 0:37:13but he has given the beautiful smile, and she's gone...
0:37:13 > 0:37:18That was a Fix It that I really enjoyed, and I think she might remember it.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21If her parents and herself are watching tonight,
0:37:21 > 0:37:24she might remember it to this day, and I think a lot longer.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28(Go over there, like that. You go over there like that.)
0:37:28 > 0:37:31(You come here. Now then, you can knock on the door.)
0:37:37 > 0:37:43- Hello! Welcome! Come in.- I must introduce our friends.- I'm Lucy.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45You're Lucy!
0:37:45 > 0:37:50When you were small, did you want to be the Prime Minister?
0:37:50 > 0:37:56No. When I was small, I don't think one ever thought there could ever BE
0:37:56 > 0:37:59a woman Prime Minister of Britain.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- We didn't, Jimmy, in those days, did we?- No, but we always hoped.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08We always hoped, all right. Women have come on so much during my lifetime.
0:38:08 > 0:38:14I still haven't quite made it to Number Ten Downing Street,
0:38:14 > 0:38:16but I hope that I'll do one day.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19The young people have had a marvellous time.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21These are Jim'll Fix It badges.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24When they've had it fixed for them, they get them awarded.
0:38:24 > 0:38:30- Might I ask you to hand them one each?- Of course.- It's Jane's first.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Jane. Can you pop it over your head?
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Let's have it facing front.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- One for Philip.- Philip.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40I think they might have got two with blue ribbon on, don't you?
0:38:40 > 0:38:45- But still.- Oh, sorry about that! That was a slip-up, wasn't it?!
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- Never mind. - One for Alice. Lean forward.
0:38:49 > 0:38:55- The colour of the red rose. That's right.- You stand up.
0:38:55 > 0:39:01- One for Charlie from China.- There we are. That's fine. Don't I get one?
0:39:01 > 0:39:02Well, actually...
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- I thought you were going to fix my getting into Number Ten! - I've already done so!
0:39:06 > 0:39:11I was going to see you privately about that, cos I wouldn't want people realising how I'd done it.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16- Then you can give me a "Jim Has Fixed It" for me.- Indeed.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21I'm going to teach you to yodel, like Jimmy Savile.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22HE YODELS
0:39:22 > 0:39:26THEY ALL YODEL IN THE SAME WAY
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Oh, dear! One down here.
0:39:29 > 0:39:35- Fantastic!- Come on!- Ladies and gentlemen, we've got to go now!
0:39:35 > 0:39:37# And you, and you

0:39:48 > 0:39:50she climbs up the wall and round the ceiling!
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- Ever think you'd end up next to Mr Doonican?- No, I didn't.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55She's holding onto her heart here!

0:40:15 > 0:40:18Where is the head? It should be here.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20There we go, one head.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21Yes!
0:40:21 > 0:40:23APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Tremendous!
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Ready, steady, go! Wheee!

0:41:23 > 0:41:28- # Nobody give a break - When you're down on your luck... #
0:41:29 > 0:41:35I trust that our musical item at this assembly will meet with your approval.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Because for you this morning, Jim has fixed it.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44School, I would like to introduce Culture Club.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:43:28 > 0:43:32- How is all your collection going on for your sale of work?- Beautifully.
0:43:32 > 0:43:38- Tell me the sort of things you've got.- Album from Tom Jones, and Val Doonican.- All the stars.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40I'm waiting for my name to appear.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44I didn't like to ask you because you're always here, you do such a lot for us.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47- You didn't like to ask?- No. - I'm very hurt now.- Oh, Jim.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49- Do you know something else?- Yes.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53- That is a see-through nightie! - Don't! SHE LAUGHS
0:43:53 > 0:43:57- Is there ever a time when you don't raise money, at all?- There is a need.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01If there is a need, it means that somebody's got to do it,
0:44:01 > 0:44:04and I've got plenty of time because I don't work any more.
0:44:04 > 0:44:08- What do you mean you don't work any more?- I don't work any more.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11You literally do not work any more? You mean, you play a lot, do you?
0:44:11 > 0:44:16Well, a bit of Jim'll Fix It - that's good fun, it's not work.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Top Of The Pops is fun, that's not work.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21Radio 1 is fun, that's not work. So I don't really work any more.
0:44:21 > 0:44:25- You're getting some good publicity tonight.- That's not publicity.
0:44:25 > 0:44:31Publicity is when you make money for yourself. We're doing a service to the people of this country.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34I'm extremely sorry, I should not have said that.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37You can have no more chips for saying that.
0:44:37 > 0:44:41Welcome to January 1st, 1964.
0:44:41 > 0:44:45It's 6.34pm, and it's a programme you've never heard of before.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48It's called Top Of The Pops, and there's the charts.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:44:53 > 0:44:55Haha! It's the future!
0:44:55 > 0:44:58First of all,
0:44:58 > 0:45:02these are our Top Of The Pops stalwarts. As you can recognise...
0:45:02 > 0:45:06every one a household face. Here we have got the four original members.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Mr Jacobs, what does it feel like to be back?
0:45:09 > 0:45:13Well, I'm glad they didn't tell you to wear a dinner jacket as well...!
0:45:13 > 0:45:18- But it's wonderful.- Anything you come in is good enough for us. ..Peter, what's it like to be back?
0:45:18 > 0:45:21Great to be back. 25 years - seems like yesterday.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24- Mr Fluffingtons! - Mr Savile! It is absolutely fabulous.
0:45:24 > 0:45:28We were the lucky ones, we were there at the very start. Not half!
0:45:28 > 0:45:32And we're still here today! Now then, ladies and gentlemen, how about this?
0:45:32 > 0:45:36How about we have the Swinging Blue Jeans, Hippy Hippy Shake, to start us going?
0:45:36 > 0:45:39# For goodness sake
0:45:39 > 0:45:42# I got the hippy hippy shake
0:45:42 > 0:45:47# Well, I got the shake I got the hippy hippy shake
0:45:47 > 0:45:53# Ooh! I can't sit still With my hippy hippy shake
0:45:53 > 0:45:58# With my hippy hippy shake
0:45:58 > 0:46:02# Well, it's in the bag
0:46:02 > 0:46:05# Ooh! Hippy hippy shake

0:46:09 > 0:46:12# Do the hippy shake shake With all your might
0:46:12 > 0:46:17# Oh, baby Yeah, you've got to shake
0:46:17 > 0:46:20# Well, it's in the bag
0:46:20 > 0:46:24# Ooh! Hippy hippy shake Waaaaaaaah!
0:46:40 > 0:46:44# You shake it to the left Shake it to the right
0:46:44 > 0:46:47# Do the hippy shake shake with all your might
0:46:47 > 0:46:51# Oh, baby Hey, I got to shake... #
0:46:51 > 0:46:54When somebody can give me a good reason to stop having a good time,
0:46:54 > 0:46:56then I'll jack it all in.
0:46:56 > 0:47:02Today, though, Sir James was concentrating on the business of joining the ranks of the titled.
0:47:02 > 0:47:07It's an experience he clearly enjoyed, but he says it won't change him one little jot.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:47:19 > 0:47:23Well, I've made it! I'm on Jim'll Fix It!
0:47:23 > 0:47:27I have to say, I've watched this show every Saturday night for years.
0:47:27 > 0:47:32And what a great show it is, making more dreams come true than the National Lottery.
0:47:32 > 0:47:37Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to introduce the dream-maker, Sir Jimmy Savile.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:47:54 > 0:47:57- Carry on with the work.- I will.
0:47:57 > 0:48:01You do the walking and the working, I do the sitting and the smoking.
0:48:01 > 0:48:06- Let's walk this way.- You sit there, I'll sit here.- OK.- OK, carry on.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09- Tonight, we're going to review... - Oh, this is the life!
0:48:11 > 0:48:16We're going to review some of the highlights of 20 years of Jim'll Fix It.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18- Yes, I'm here. - Do you have any favourite fixes?
0:48:18 > 0:48:23As it happens, when I look at the 1,500 fix-its we've done,
0:48:23 > 0:48:28they're all like jewels. To the people, they are jewels,
0:48:28 > 0:48:32and they're all different colours and different sizes. All I see is a carpet of jewels,
0:48:32 > 0:48:35so I don't have a favourite jewel, as such.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37You are known as the Greatest, correct?
0:48:37 > 0:48:39Greatest boxer - get that straight.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42- Not everything, I'm the greatest boxer.- Thank you.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45Not the greatest singer, or dancer or mathematician,
0:48:45 > 0:48:47I'm the greatest boxer.
0:48:47 > 0:48:53I'm glad about that. You cleared up a point on account of... my own team that run this TV show -
0:48:53 > 0:48:58which is watched by millions of people - last year,
0:48:58 > 0:49:02in spite of your nomenclature calling you the Greatest, had the temerity
0:49:02 > 0:49:05to present me with my own award, which is here,
0:49:05 > 0:49:09and this award is called "the Great Chatsby".
0:49:09 > 0:49:12If you considered yourself the greatest as a boxer only,
0:49:12 > 0:49:16then I can keep this medal. It you consider yourself the greatest as a chat merchant,
0:49:16 > 0:49:20- I shall have to hand this medal back to the pawnshop. - What's a chat merchant?
0:49:20 > 0:49:24A chat merchant is one given to plenty spiel-alots.
0:49:24 > 0:49:29- Rapido chatty-chatty all the time. - That might be my title, too.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32We could have a duel for the best talker.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35First of all, I might ask you
0:49:35 > 0:49:40if you could present to these three boys three Jim'll Fix It badges. That's one task.
0:49:40 > 0:49:45I have another couple of tasks. These are Jim'll Fix It badges because this morning,
0:49:45 > 0:49:51these boys were at school, they knew nothing of the fact that they would be meeting you this afternoon.
0:49:51 > 0:49:55I hope one day these develop into Olympic medals. Gold medals.
0:49:55 > 0:50:00- This is silver.- It's kosher silver. - A little cheap.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03One day you might get a real medal.
0:50:03 > 0:50:08Minted in Jerusalem. It is mined in Jerusalem.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11It is cheap, artificial silver.
0:50:11 > 0:50:15So let this make you determined to be a great fighter so you can get some real silver.
0:50:16 > 0:50:20- This will make you think about the real thing.- The next task is this.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23These gentlemen have a very important question they would like to ask.
0:50:23 > 0:50:27- You go first.- What will you do when you retire from boxing?
0:50:27 > 0:50:31What will I do when I retire from boxing? I really don't know.
0:50:31 > 0:50:35I've been offered so many things. They want me to be professor at some colleges,
0:50:35 > 0:50:39I don't have time to hang around one campus.
0:50:39 > 0:50:45They want me to do a lot in ghettos and problems. I don't really know.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48I think I'll be a minister of my Islamic religion.
0:50:48 > 0:50:52We've got problems in America, dope, gang problems.
0:50:52 > 0:50:56Work with people and problems in the streets,
0:50:56 > 0:50:58and with crime and things like that.
0:50:58 > 0:51:02- Next question.- What would you have been if you was not a boxer?
0:51:02 > 0:51:03If I was not a boxer,
0:51:03 > 0:51:07I don't know what I would have been, cos I started boxing at 12 years old
0:51:07 > 0:51:11and that's all I wanted to do was be a boxer after I started.
0:51:11 > 0:51:17I don't know, probably everyday working, going to some job every day,
0:51:17 > 0:51:19working six, seven hours a day,
0:51:19 > 0:51:21coming home in rush-hour traffic.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23What type of work I would do, I really don't know.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26- Next.- Did you ever used to get into fights in school?
0:51:26 > 0:51:30Yes, I used to get into fights in school. All the time.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33And that wasn't good
0:51:33 > 0:51:35because there were bullies running around my school,
0:51:35 > 0:51:39and they used to always say, "I want you to bring me your lunch tomorrow."
0:51:39 > 0:51:43Have you ever heard of fellas doing that? They do that to you.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47"If you don't bring me your lunch..." I brought a fella my lunch every day.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50One time I got tired, and didn't bring him no lunch. I started fighting.
0:51:50 > 0:51:54Another task I have now. I'd like to hand out four books.
0:51:55 > 0:51:59That's one, The Greatest: My Own Story by Muhammad Ali,
0:51:59 > 0:52:01with a beautiful picture on the back,
0:52:01 > 0:52:05with the words "full of wisdom". That's the third book.
0:52:05 > 0:52:11And the fourth book, so that when we have our eventual duel, is my own life story, sir,
0:52:11 > 0:52:15which you can have as a gift. That is my good self.
0:52:15 > 0:52:18- I'd never heard of you! - I'd never heard of you!
0:52:18 > 0:52:24- I only knew a few weeks ago. It seems like years.- You wrote a book? Who did you ever whip?
0:52:24 > 0:52:28- That is what we call a novel smile. - Can I have your autograph?
0:52:28 > 0:52:31Certainly! You're smiling the real smile now,
0:52:31 > 0:52:34not the professional smile - the real smile!
0:52:34 > 0:52:37And I have one final request. I have one final request.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40It says, "To the Master...
0:52:43 > 0:52:45.."M Ali..."
0:52:45 > 0:52:50That is for you, sir. You're laughing again. I have one request,
0:52:50 > 0:52:53because in all seriousness, you can imagine what a thrill it is
0:52:53 > 0:52:56for these guys who did not know they were going to meet the Master -
0:52:56 > 0:52:58who's now deeply engrossed in my book -
0:52:58 > 0:53:01nor did I, as it happens. A great thrill for all of us.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04I would like you to strike me on the chin.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Then who will be your beneficiary?
0:53:07 > 0:53:10Well, Dr Bottle, possibly.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15I have been struck on the chin by the Master! I give up now.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17That is the finish, goodbye.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22I thought I was crazy, but he is!
0:53:40 > 0:53:46Hello! And welcome to the very last Top Of The Pops.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48GROANING
0:53:48 > 0:53:5242 years ago, I said welcome to the very first Top Of The Pops.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54It belongs to the world now.
0:53:54 > 0:53:58They're going to carry the Top Of The Pops banner.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01I've got some friends who are going to see us out in style.
0:54:02 > 0:54:08- Wow, wow! Is this memory lane, or what?- Yes!- It is! Good!
0:54:08 > 0:54:13Take That were thought by many to be the most successful band since the Beatles.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16But one of their members jumped ship. Or was he pushed?
0:54:16 > 0:54:20- Some thought that was the end, but he went on to phenomenal success.- Indeed.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23He became one of the UK's most successful solo artists ever,
0:54:23 > 0:54:27and still going strong. He's been on the show over 100 times.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31Here he is, it's the Robster, Let Me Entertain You.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34# Hell has gone and heaven's here There's nothing left for you to fear
0:54:34 > 0:54:39# Shake your ass, come over here Now scream
0:54:39 > 0:54:42# I'm a burning effigy of everything I used to be
0:54:42 > 0:54:45# You're my rock of empathy, my dear
0:54:45 > 0:54:51# So come on, let me entertain you
0:54:54 > 0:54:59# Let me entertain you
0:55:02 > 0:55:06# Life's too short for you to die Grab yourself an alibi
0:55:06 > 0:55:09# Heaven knows your mother lied, mon cher
0:55:09 > 0:55:13# Look me up in Yellow Pages I will be your rock of ages
0:55:13 > 0:55:16# Your see-through fads And your crazy phases, yeah
0:55:16 > 0:55:22- # So come on...- Let me entertain you
0:55:25 > 0:55:30# Let me entertain you... #
0:55:38 > 0:55:41- Are you still a religious man? - STILL a religious man?- Yeah.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43You've claimed on many occasions...
0:55:43 > 0:55:47- I've not claimed. I've not claimed. - There's a serviette there.
0:55:47 > 0:55:51- Don't wipe it on the paper. - You can't have serviettes if you have chips in the paper.
0:55:51 > 0:55:54That's what the paper's for!
0:55:54 > 0:55:57These lowlife southern habits!
0:55:57 > 0:56:00LAUGHTER
0:56:02 > 0:56:06God is the fabric of everybody's life,
0:56:06 > 0:56:08and God is the fabric of my life,
0:56:08 > 0:56:11no more religious or less religious than anyone else.
0:56:11 > 0:56:15I would not say I'm a religious man, but I do know who the boss is.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20Or anywhere. God is all over, not necessarily up there.
0:56:20 > 0:56:25It's a strange thing to be in a chip shop on a Thursday night talking about God with Jimmy Savile.
0:56:25 > 0:56:27- Not really.- It's very strange.
0:56:27 > 0:56:31People say to me, why do I believe in God?
0:56:31 > 0:56:35One could talk a long time about why you believe in God.
0:56:35 > 0:56:39But to encapsulate it, I believe in God because,
0:56:39 > 0:56:43if nothing else, it's a good gamble.
0:56:43 > 0:56:49If we went through life thinking that when we die, we rot,
0:56:49 > 0:56:52and that's it gone, finito, that's all right.
0:56:52 > 0:56:57But it's much nicer to go through life with a faith,
0:56:57 > 0:57:02thinking that maybe when we die, we go on to even a better life than this.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04Who knows?
0:57:04 > 0:57:08Therefore it follows logically that if you try to live by a decent code,
0:57:08 > 0:57:11reasonably decent code,
0:57:11 > 0:57:17as well as you can manage, then it is a hope
0:57:17 > 0:57:23that when the time comes, that you go off into - for the want of a better word -
0:57:23 > 0:57:25a life hereafter and a heaven.
0:57:25 > 0:57:29So, at the end of the day, when all the crowds have gone,
0:57:29 > 0:57:32and all the frantic has finished, people say,
0:57:32 > 0:57:35"What do you find at the end of the day?
0:57:35 > 0:57:40"Have you found peace or are you like the clown whose tears come after the show?"
0:57:40 > 0:57:45I say that I have found peace because, at the end of the day,
0:57:45 > 0:57:50I sleep like a log, and often, so I'm told, with a smile on my face,
0:57:50 > 0:57:55thinking about what a great day it's been, so I found peace.
0:57:55 > 0:58:01It's not that I'm clever, it's just that I'm lucky.
0:58:11 > 0:58:13As it happens...
0:58:13 > 0:58:15see you soon.
