Hrmmm, not sure I agree that this is a story that “needs to be told”, or at least not in a dramatasised BBC 4-parter. This feels like an attempt to capitalise on the very real misory of a lot of people into a bafta nomination for such a powerful tv show and continues to build a cult of notoriarity around Saville.
