I'd just like to point out that lots of people had dodgy pullovers/beards/hair/wigs in the 70s (and other decades).
Many people worked with children in the 70s (and other decades).
Many people worked for the BBC in the 70s (and other decades).
It doesn't make them all 'nonces', 'rapists' or 'kiddy fiddlers'.
This is (in my opinion) the most puerile, pointless thread currently in existence on this (and probably many other) forum/a
What purpose does it serve?
Its like a load of kids in the school playground pointing at another kid and calling him names.
By all means, have a serious discussion about who is and isn't a sexual predator; talk about how surprised we all were about Stuart Hall, and how surprised we weren't about Jimmy Savile, but can we do away with the 'so-and-so' must be a paedo because he had dodgy hair and worked on a kids TV show?
Rant over.
