In episode three of The Reckoning viewers saw Steve Coogan's Jimmy Savile befriend some of the world's most powerful people
In the latest episode of the BBC’s Jimmy Savile drama The Reckoning viewers see the monster reach the peak of his fame which seemingly made him untouchable to his victims.
One again, Coogan, 58, puts in a powerhouse performance displaying Savile’s thirst for power and influence which he appeared to believe would prevent his terrible secrets from being discovered. We all know Savile, who travelled the country living a nomad life in his ‘passion wagon’, was a driving force behind raising millions for hospitals but at what cost? In The Reckoning this is regularly presented as an horrific mask to justify his atrocious deeds and gain what he appeared the crave most - a knighthood.
While under the surface, viewers saw the Savile, presumably, his famous associate never did. At one point, he abuses a woman in the home of his recently-deceased mother, The Duchess. Later, the religious Savile, made some unsettling admissions during church confession with the disturbed priest played by former Heartbeat star David Lonsdale. Savile looking for vindication that someone’s good actions can outweigh the bad - no matter how awful they are.
Instead Savile, who repeatedly in the latter part of his life said he didn’t like children, made it a nightmare for some and cruelly robbed them of their innocence. In a truly harrowing scene, The Reckoning portrays the power the fiend had with his ‘Jim Fixed it For Me’ medals.
