PART 2 — THE SILENCE
For decades, the image never cracked.
A familiar face on television.
A trusted presence in hospitals.
A man welcomed into institutions built on care.
But behind that image…
A pattern was forming.
In Part 2 of this three-part series, we move beyond the rise of Jimmy Savile and into the reality that existed beneath it — a pattern of behaviour that repeated across years, locations, and victims.
This episode examines how that pattern continued in plain sight, and why it was never fully stopped.

As more voices began to come forward after his death, a much larger picture emerged.
Not a single incident.
Not a misunderstanding.
But a pattern.
Repeated.
Over decades.
This episode focuses on the silence that allowed it to continue — and the systems that failed to stop it.
