Never particularly watched Jim'll Fix it or anything...but he did some great work for Charitable causes... and for that alone, should be remembered

Don't forget his clunk click adverts brought about compulsory seat belts. Often worked nigthtshifts in leeds hospitals unnoticed by media. A bit blunt at times but heart in the right place.

Apparently, when they rebuilt Stoke Mandeville, he didn't want an architect who designed hospitals, because of pre -conceived ideas, he wanted a grand hotel with a hospital in it.

Jimmy Saville will always be known for his charitable practices. Such a kind hearted soul, his death is indeed a great loss to humanity..
