and star as the sex offender Jimmy Savile for the BBC production of The Reckoning,

a tale about the life and death of this television personality that even though loved by many during life,

but completely torn apart after death, because of multiple accusations of sexual abuse,

and in case you don't know, multiple accusations mean over 450 allegations, and a lot of them coming from

The BBC also got involved in a lot of drama because of this, since Savile had a tremendous career working with them

'The Reckoning', where they were going to tell the story of Jimmy Savile's childhood, life, and the crimes

and don't glorify a horrible person just because he had a loved public image.
