Shaun breaks down the psychological profile of Jimmy Savile, exploring why survivors, insiders and even celebrities described him as “predatory,” “untouchable,” and “one of the most dangerous men in Britain.” He explains how Savile’s carefully crafted persona, charity work and high-profile friendships created a shield that allowed him to evade scrutiny for years — even when allegations were circulating behind the scenes.

Andrew and Shaun also discuss the toxic culture that surrounded Savile: the fear, the rumours, the people who tried to speak out and were ignored, and the institutions that failed to stop him. Shaun shares insights from his years documenting criminal psychology, exposing why predators like Savile thrive in systems built on power, secrecy and celebrity worship.

This episode also raises uncomfortable but important questions:

• How did Savile manipulate producers, executives and politicians?

• Why did so many insiders say he gave them a “very dark feeling”?

• What role did the entertainment industry play in enabling abusers for decades?

• And why did it take so long for the truth to finally surface?

For fans of deep-dive true crime, media accountability, and psychological analysis, this is one of Shaun Attwood’s most revealing interviews yet.

It’s a chilling, eye-opening conversation that exposes the mindset of a predator — and the systems that helped him thrive.
