		For Jimmy and his invisible army of deal-makers, this is pretty small potatoes, and soon the awed child is shovelling crumpled tenners into a furnace at a secret Bank of England location.
		But there were some truly revealing and affecting moments: notably, Savile recalling his scary-sounding Zero Tolerance policy as manager of a Leeds dancehall, and guiding the camera round a room lovingly preserved as a shrine to his late mother The Duchess.
		Jimmy is holding court in a futuristic swivel chair, looking absolutely spectacular in a red-white-and-blue string vest, jogging pants and expensive Nikes.

		Today's classic film from 1972 about the importance of wearing seatbelts stars a flaxen-haired Jimmy Savile, then a well-known Radio 1 DJ and Top of the Pops presenter (though it was four years before Jim'll Fix It started).
		It is clearly in the horror genre: like modern safety films - even the recent seatbelt one featuring a pizza smashing into the windscreen - it knows that for maximum shock, ordinary people must be shown going about their lives, oblivious to the danger they are in.
		JIMMY SAVILE: (sitting in his own car, seatbelt in hand): "It's very likely that 400 of you will be injured in your cars tomorrow.

		Until then it had been only subliminal, but as I leafed through the photos in Jimmy Savile's book I suddenly realised what it was I was being reminded of.
		I felt this was an appropriate moment to announce Jimmy Savile as the leading exponent of rap style.
