".. the assistant manager had left so I marched down to the manager and said 'I'm your new assistant'

..the name of the club?.. Mecca Locarno. And I was only an assistant for about 7 months, because the governors thought, this guy's got something"..

"Leeds pensioner Dennis Lemmon, 80, who was a door supervisor at the Mecca Locarno Ballroom during the late 1950s while Savile was manager, said he was told he “paid off” families to escape criminal charges of interfering with young girls."

"Savile’s former employers, the BBC, have been sucked into the scandal after it emerged Newsnight abandoned an investigation into alleged abuse. The organisation has also come under fire for failing to take action over the Jim’ll Fix It presenter’s behaviour on its premises "
