This drama, prior to its release, had received a fair amount of negative feeling, many commenting it should never have been made, and let the past stay in the past. Many said they found it hypocritical of the BBC to be producing this when, some say, they "enabled" Saville . This was.in fact a BBC partnership with ITV Studios.
We all know the horrific story. This is told very much through the eyes of some of his victims. It's a story that needs to be told again and again, so that such crimes will never happen again.
Steve Coogan.is chillingly brilliant as Saville. Sometimes I thought i was watching the real thing, which is testimony to the powerful performance Coogan gives.
This is a bleak 4 hours of viewing . It is very upsetting. But it has been tastefully done. It's not a drama to be "enjoyed" but to learn lessons from.
