Sonia Poulton, one of Britain’s most outspoken investigative journalists, pulls no punches as she examines Louis Theroux’s famous interviews with Jimmy Savile — and the unanswered questions they left behind. She argues that Theroux, like much of the British media, got too close to the story, trusting Savile’s charm and manipulation instead of digging deeper into the disturbing rumours that swirled for decades.

In this gripping conversation, Sonia explains why she believes Savile’s crimes were hiding in plain sight, how the BBC turned a blind eye to years of abuse, and why even intelligent journalists can fall into the trap of believing the powerful. She also exposes the cultural and institutional systems that allowed Savile to thrive — from celebrity worship to media gatekeeping — and why, even today, the full truth about his connections to British elites may still be untold.

Expect shocking insights, tense debate, and moments that will make you rethink what you thought you knew about Savile, Theroux, and the media that shaped the story. Sonia also discusses her own experiences within British television, revealing the price of asking uncomfortable questions — and why she continues to fight for transparency, accountability, and justice in the media world.

If you thought you knew everything about the Savile scandal — think again. This is a raw, eye-opening look at how power protects itself, how journalists get compromised, and how truth-tellers like Sonia Poulton are pushing back against an industry built on silence.
