Who will play Savile?

[Lordofthefiles]

Rhys Ifans would great, dunno if his career is over enough to sign up for it though but.

Taron Egerton has played Eddie the Eagle and Elton John in recent years.

And Moomintroll!

[famethrowa]

How about free jazz singer and Pharaoh Sanders collaborator Leon Thomas? Admittedly the wrong ethnicity and a bit too dead for the role but he gets the voice spot on.

This old post is one of my very favourites on CAB, charting the Leon/Jimll posession:

I do hope they are culturally sensitive to the children abusing/corpse shagging community by casting someone with those proclivities. Any actor accepting the role who can't prove their credentials should be flogged.

[A Hat Like That]

do it like Jaws, so you only the see the cigar.

[JesusAndYourBush]

On the news just now they said that the latest shortage to hit the country is tracksuit trousers.  I think I can guess who everyone is dressing as for Halloween this year!

Probably have Fleabag style fourth wall breaking. He'll give a cheeky aside to the audience as he enters the morgue with his track suit bottoms round his ankles.

[Cerys]

Andy Serkis and Joe Gilgun.

I'm sure Eddie Marsan has played more than his fair share of characters who do stuff with corpses.

Not to be outdone, ITV have just announced that they're making a drama about The Yorkshire Ripper.

There's only one man for the job...

Daniel Day-Lewis will probably go full method and have to do a load of paedo-ing just to fully research the role.

Publicity still from a forthcoming crossover episode:

It's lucky everybody likes Frank Bruno and he isn't an arse on Twitter otherwise that image would be burnt into the back of his retinas by now.

I hope they do include Currie. How the fuck did she get away with it? Giving him control of Broadmoor so he could abuse inmates in return for union busting?

Actually how is she not back on the front bench?

After complaining in her autobiography about Peter Morrison, Thatcher's private secretary being a pederast. Though seems like it was more because it would be a bad press fuck up than because of actually what he was into:

In Edwina Currie's diary entry for July 24th, 1990, she wrote the following:

One appointment in the recent reshuffle has attracted a lot of gossip and could be very dangerous: Peter Morrison has become the PM's PPS. Now he's what they call 'a noted pederast', with a liking for young boys; he admitted as much to Norman Tebbit when he became deputy chairman of the party, but added, 'However, I'm very discreet' – and he must be! She either knows and is taking a chance, or doesn't; either way it is a really dumb move. Teresa Gorman told me this evening (in a taxi coming back from a drinks party at the BBC) that she inherited Morrison's (woman) agent, who claimed to have been offered money to keep quiet about his activities. It scares me, as all the press know, and as we get closer to the election someone is going to make trouble, very close to her indeed. (Edwina Currie, Diaries 1987-1992 (London: Little, Brown, 2002), p. 195)
