A new BBC2 sitcom has featured a Jimmy Savile impression - despite the prolific paedophile DJ 'hiding in plain sight' at the corporation for six decades.
The three-part series Mammoth, starring Mike Bubbins, tells the story of a PE teacher who is accidentally frozen in time in 1979 before being brought back to life in the present day.
In the first episode, the main character Toby Mammoth quips 'I have fixed it for you', in a chilling echo of the paedophile's children's show Jim'll Fix It.
The children's entertainer was revealed as one of Britain's most prolific sexual predators after his death aged 84 in 2011.
The Dame Janet Smith review later found that the BBC missed opportunities to stop his 'monstrous' abuse because of a 'culture of fear' at the corporation.
