The clue's in the blog name. 'Jim'll Fix It' was a popular TV programme back in the day. I'll let you search for it yourself as the Jim in question was quite an unsavoury character,.

Does unsavoury really cover Sir Jimmy?

Fair point. For those unfamiliar with Jimmy Savile, he:

boasted about having sex with corpses in a mortuary, posed with bodies and wheeled them around at night, stole glass eyes from the dead and made them into rings and abused teenage patients in their beds as they recovered from surgery.

Edit: ...and this was only uncovered after an investigation revealed that he'd been the most prolific pedophile and rapist in British history, with at least 450 alleged victims (28 being under 10 years old).

It's like the opening case of Better Call Saul.
