Steve Coogan says Jimmy Savile drama ‘The Reckoning’ “will vindicate itself”

Steve Coogan has spoken about his role in the forthcoming Jimmy Savile drama, stating his belief that the BBC show will “vindicate itself”.The actor, who plays Savile in the four-part mini-series, told BBC Radio 5 Live he was aware of “a sort of revulsion about the idea of even making it” among many people.“But in actual fact, it’s a mistake to think that the best way to deal with something is to not talk about it,” the 56-year-old said (per BBC News), who is best known for comedy roles such as Alan Partridge.“The script is very well written. And it’s something that needs to be talked about because to understand how predators operate, you have to look at the whole picture.”Coogan also said viewers needed to be reminded that “people who do bad things are also human beings who have a life,” and stressed the importance that more people “understand how it happens”.“Like any kind of figure who is repellent, you have to understand it.
