Presumably the Saville doc did good numbers and they are hoping to mine more of the rich vein that is 70s British celebrity pedos, up next, the Jonathan King story
really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. arent there any better personalities to make a doc series about?
I think the Savile one was interesting, especially part 1, as it showed how well-loved Savile was. That has been somewhat erased by the revelations about him. There’s a scene in the documentary where he enters a random pub and the place erupts in cheers.
They sure are making a lot of docs these days. I guess their crappy writers can’t ruin them and I imagine these programmes are a lot cheaper to make than TV series and movies.
Netflix becoming more of the shit rate cable channels they tried to surpass.
Split into three series – the early Glitter, the rounded Glitter and Glitter the junior years.
How is it any different to the myriad of documentaries about other unsavoury people?

Bad call. People enjoy true crime about murders because they’re exciting and gorey. Child sex abuse is just sad.
