I wonder if she'll have the same annoying laugh, which I seem to remember had been lost or toned down by the 90s.

Back in the days (not that long ago) when the likes of Anne Robinson and Jeremy Clarkson could say almost anything and were actually appreciated for it. But I'm not sure Channel 4 2021 will be the right home for her. She'll probably be hounded out by young activists before she's even started.

Steve Coogan to play Jimmy Savile in BBC One drama

The Reckoning, a mini-series, will tell the story of the presenter's rise and the sexual abuse scandal that emerged after his death.

The BBC said the team behind the drama had worked closely with those impacted by Savile to ensure their stories were told with "sensitivity and respect".

Coogan said he had not taken the decision to play Savile "lightly".
