This is a clip I didn't use in my first Savile podcast, The Joe Jackson Tapes: 'Jimmy Savile. Attempting to Unmask a Monster. 2001.' It includes arguably the single most revealing comment Savile ever made about himself. Namely, "I could be diabolical, with a straight face." Stupidly, I didn't use that quote in the original print interview I wrote out of this 2001 interview. I did, however, include it in my 2017 radio show The Joe Jackson Tapers Revisited: Jimmy Savile, which RTE refused to broadcast. Now it ids a podcast
