Numbers

We may have some problems with scale when Dame Janet Smith's inquiry into the activities of Jimmy Savile at the BBC is finally published. The Observer today speculates that she's found evidence of "up to 1,000" assaults on BBC premises.

It's becoming clear that Savile took few days off from his predatory activities. And he presented over 1,000 Radio 1 shows, somewhere near 100 Top of The Pops shows, and 286 editions of Jim'll Fix It.
