RIP Sir Jimmy Savile

Check out tonight's Midlands Today on the IPlayer, or have a Google (other search engines are available!) for The Public in West Bromwich & you'll find details of an exhibition by former TOTP photographer Harry Goodwin of the photos he took for the show between 64 & 73.

Dave is showing an episode of Mock the Week in which Dara does a fairly poor cliched "Showaddywaddy" impersonation of Sir Jimmy (but recognisable enough to be identified as such in the subtitles) which is rather unfortunately met with a comment from one of the panel "I don't know who that is but I think they've usually got a carer with them".

Quite a subtle reference so I'm not surprised it hasn't been picked up on, and it's quite a tame comment given the reputation of the programme, but given that it's his funeral tomorrow I can imagine that if it had been spotted before transmission the episode would have been changed.

Maybe not because two years ago they showed a "new" episode of Argumental with a round about Michael Jackson, referring to him in the present tense throughout, and even Phill Jupitus speculating about whether he might die during his O2 run. And it wasn't straight after his death with no time to change it, either, it was about three months later.
