BBC has unveiled the first official photograph of Steve Coogan in character as Jimmy Savile.

Coogan will play the disgraced TV star in a forthcoming four-part BBC drama titled The Reckoning, which will dramatise Savile’s history of paedophilia.

    Honestly, I don’t think the BBC are the ones who should be doing this. It comes across as a way to write the history of what went on in the form they want.

      It was released on the iPlayer tonight. It doesn’t pull any punches or paint the BBC in a defensive manner.

      It’s a brutal, tough watch but to be fair to Coogan, he is outstanding, totally nails it.
