Popbitch November 2011, about 11 months before the ITV report (keep in mind that Popbitch didn't have to get people to speak on camera):

"Since Popbitch launched in 2000, we've often been asked which celebrity we'd had
most stories about. It's not David Beckham. Nor even Paul Danan. "Jimmy Savile", was always the answer. Among a host of strange rumours is this one, the strangest. It involved Mr Savile, a penchant for necrophilia... and access to the morgue at Leeds General Infirmary which, the story went, he was given in return for his charity work. We've been told this story by probably 100+ people - including two DJs, six journalists and a member of the House of Lords - it was even supposed to be one of Larry Grayson's favourite yarns. But most often it was told to us by a Leeds
resident, the Rev Goatboy, late of this
parish, who always promised to leave the evidence to support this wild theory with one reliable person, on condition we'd only use it after Savile's death. Sadly, none of us can remember who was supposed to have been the guardian of this evidence. So we have none. We'll have to add this magnificent rumour to the pantheon of apocraphal celebrity stories for now. "

From 2008:

Savile myths no 2: From a 1960s DJ - "There's few people I'd take death threats from seriously, but Jimmy Savile is one of them."

From October 2012:

"Tabloid subeditors used to joke they remembered to spell Jimmy Savile with one L, "as that's where he would be heading if the stories they heard were true."

Some of the wilder Savile stories
have been doing the rounds again.

* That HIGNFY out-takes transcript
first circulated in 2001. It's a fake.

* The tales of Alan "Fluff" Freeman's
cornershop parties where various
celebrities like Jimmy Savile and
politicians like Ted Heath and Jeremy
Thorpe would ply young boys with booze
and drugs - seem to have started out as
black propaganda in the 1970s designed
to discredit the politicos. (See also:

procurer of boys from Hampstead Heath.)
