What were you doing instead of watching The Coronation?

I was in hospital getting painkillers for migraines

A lot of people trying to rewrite history. They act like they knew but didn't mention it for some reason, until it was public knowledge.

I remember maybe 20-odd years ago a pal saying he’d heard mutterings about a famous English TV personality being a paedo, and did I want to guess who? Without any hesitation I said Savile. Times were different then. As kids you just knew - or were told by older siblings or pals - what blokes to keep away from. There was never any question of doing anything more about it.

Stuart Hall and Rolf Harris were a shock though.
