Spoiler alert but when talking to his biographer, who I’d imagine is based on an actual person, Savile (apologies for the earlier spelling mistake) talks about judgement day with ‘him upstairs’ and convinces himself that his good deeds will outweigh his crimes. Top writing and acting.
Remembering also that Wilson was still very much alive at the time, heavily involved in the project, and was a much loved figure in the media rather than a dead serial sex offender.
No comparison whatsoever.
