Your memory is wrong. Sorry. The perpetrators are known, they'd been interviewed about it and such.
There's a write-up [url= http://thejohnfleming.wordpress.com/2012/10/03/jimmy-savile-the-birth-of-a-paedophile-hoax-on-have-i-got-news-for-you/ ]here[/url].
I wasn't aware of any "trans-script". Having just read that "trans-script", some of it sounded familiar from my "memory" of seeing it, especially the references to a girl's name.
Looks like you were aware of the transcript then ?
but had forgotten about it, and somehow presumed you had seen it rather than read it or been told about it.

I don't recall reading it before, although I'm assuming I must have read it or been told about it years ago. I suppose that the format is so familiar that the words could be projected in the mind onto an image of the chaps on the show.
I'll have to seek out the actual episode to see if it sparks any real memories.
IIRC the phoney transcript used part of the actual conversation but included parts that had been "cut" from the original screening. It's therefore possible that you remember some of the text.

That would make more sense, hence only remembering some of it...

It won't.
Paul Murton was talking about it on Radio 2 a couple of weeks ago.
He said it was perfectly normal episode with no scandal or anything relating to the contents of the fake transcript.
I wish everyone would stop criticising Jimmy Saville.. I didn't have much as a kid, and when I was eight years old, Jimmy fixed it for me to milk a cow blindfolded..

Excellent, I was going to start a thread on here asking where all the Jimmy Savile jokes are, but I thought I might get a banning.
Dear Jim,
Please could you fix it for the girl in my class who I really fancy to come on holiday with me ?
Yours sincerely

not too long ago in the UK, older men taking (and "taking" is probably right) very much younger brides is/was closer to the norm.
Yeah, yeah, but we're talking about the seventies and eighties in the UK. It's not that radically different from now. Child abuse, assaulting the comatose and necrophilia weren't close to the norm. That much is obvious from the fact he apparently didn't do it openly.
I saw it. I don't understand why the BBC are being made to be the main villains. Whether they showed the Newsnight documentary is irrelevant in the light of complicity in Healthcare institutions to collude with JS practices. it is also irrelevant in the light of south yorkshire police failing to act on official complaints.
Also, the tabloids are having a field day slagging off the BBC for covering this up, but how much info must they have been holding back in this over the years? Very difficult to believe they didn't know about it.

Truly pot calling kettle black.
The BBC as an institution is taking a lot of flack. I bet the Catholic Church is breathing a sigh of relief at the moment.
What 4 words do you not want to hear after sex. " How's about that then "
but WHY has it become the BBC's problem? Entwhistle would've gone up in my eatimation had he told the MPs that "Newsnight decided not to progress with the story as it was considered to be tabloid muck-raking unsuited to a serious news programme".
"Newsnight decided not to progress with the story as it was considered to be tabloid muck-raking unsuited to a serious news programme".
He'd look very stupid now if he had.
I don't think so. Leave the JS story to the likes of ITV or Channel 5.
He worked for the BBC. It cannot ignore that this went on under their watch.
The papers are giving the BBC hell on this because they have their own agenda
Murdoch and the mail are fiercely anti publicly funded broadcasting and will use any stick they can to beat the BBC with
Unfortunately the BBC keep making a mess of their handling of these things
Even if the BBC hadn't screened anything, they'd come out of it a lot better if they'd taken ALL the evidence to the police and handed it over.

Yes, but the BBC acted like any other big corporation and dug their own grave.
