In October 2012, an investigation into his activities began, prompting hundreds of people to come forward with allegations of sexual abuse dating back to 1955. This programme investigates one of the most notorious scandals in modern British history, and features testimony from alleged victims, as well as recollections of Savile's family members and former colleagues.
In May 2012, six children aged between five and 13 died when their parents Mick and Mairead Philpott set fire to the family home in Derby.

This documentary features interviews with eyewitnesses and neighbours who tried to save the children.
