I would not normally start a thread on a topic apparently unrelated to this forum. However, those members who met here this summer may remember me pointing out one of the late Sir Jimmy Savile’s homes. He was famous for TV shows like “ Jim'll Fix It “ and “ Top Of The Pops “, and did much charity work. There is now a gold commemorative plaque on the wall of his apartment.
The steep public path leading from near his apartment to the “ Cliff Bridge “ and town centre has recently been named “ Savile’s View “. One or two forum members thought “ Angina Hill “ would have been appropriate !
A documentary tomorrow evening ( “ Exposure – ITV1, 11.10 pm, Wednesday 3 October “ ) investigates allegations that Jimmy Savile used his fame to abuse vulnerable teenage girls. No matter what the allegations are, he’s not here to defend himself, having died last year, aged 84, and is buried at Scarborough.

at the frequent interruptions the forum has been subjected to in the past 24 hours. 
... other than to create a bit of journalistic, media SENSATIONALISM!

... suppose they COULD'VE renamed it 'Jimmy Savile View' ... assuming, of course, the allegations are true ... albeit ONLY IF!
... put it this way, Esther Rantzen - a one-time supporter of Jimmy Saville's charity work and one of the celebrities interviewed - seemed quick to believe the rumours, yet she was no "saint" herself, by all accounts. 
with Doc Alan about it being a lovely vantage point.
That'll certainly keep you fit!
