I don't think cutting a brief clip introducing much loved national treasure Jimmy Savile from an old magazine show on repeat and not rebroadcasting his original shows is going to make anyone feel more kindly disposed towards Jimmy as a perpetrator.
I do think it's going to stop people ringing OFCOM to complain that the TV/iPlayer is still broadcasting that disgusting man like he's a lovable guy.
If they wanted to control the PR narrative, they'd hide references to him as a notorious paedophile or questions about whether the BBC staff working on his programmes should have known, not Jim'll Fix It.
