Rejected petition Stop the BBC using new historic footage of Jimmy Saville at every new news item.
More details
The BBC presently search archive footage of Jimmy Saville at every opportunity when a new news item is raised. This can only cause distress and anger to all his alleged victims and to those who now find his appearance upsetting due to what they thought of him at the time and what is now known of him.A single picture of him in a more sombre light should be used like any other sexual predator whether alleged or proven.
