themaninblack 2,112 Posted February 9, 2013 So who really is it? http://www.mirror.co...treated-1510556 Well you have had the clues. Can you guess who it is yet? The latter line would suggest Rolf, but I find it hard to believe. Unless he's putting a very brave face on it, I don't think it's Rolf... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EGN 121 Posted February 9, 2013 Yes, but isn't it rather the point that all these alleged rampant nonces have been able to appear perfectly normal for years? It would be arther a change of form if he suddenly hid away in a darkened room, flaggelating himself for his dirty thoughts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,592 Posted February 14, 2013 Dozens to sue the BBC over Savile. I wonder how many are jumping on the bandwagon by making the claims, but never even met Saville?

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted March 11, 2013 There is a new tell-all book about Dr Who producer John Nathan-Turner. "A sex scandal splashed across the tabloids is the last thing Doctor Who needs in its 50th anniversary year, but that’s precisely what it’s liable to get once the seamier details of this book start spreading – especially in the wake of the Savile investigations." "It finally addresses head-on rumours that have circulated in fandom for many years, detailing how JN-T used his position of power to bed young fans. His long-term partner Gary Downie (also a production manager on Who) was the procurer, scouting the conventions for (to use his charming phrase) “doable barkers”."

maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted March 15, 2013 At last; somebody treats the situation with the gravity it deserves! Incidentally I own three albums by this mob and recommend them unreservedly.

Matthew Waterhouse's Blue Box Boy seemed to make some allegations about senior DW directors. I haven't read this but picked this up from the coverage in the DW press. I read the review of that book. For all the salaciousness, it seems pretty even handed. I'm not all that surprised about Downie. In interviews he came over as a bit of a prick. In terms of Dr Who's cancellation, it's Jonathan Powell, not Michael Grade who is the real vilain of the piece... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,415 Posted March 29, 2013 http://news.sky.com/...82-year-old-man So an 82 year old man has been arrested by the 'savile police' which i can only imagine is a bunch of bobbies dressed in shell suits and a cigar hanging out their mouth going ''now then now then who's been a naughty boy''. BTW anyone know of any famous 82 year old's thought of one name . can you tell what it is yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
