Jim’ll Fix It to deceive you - The Reckoning TV series (2023)

As a child of the seventies, my eyes tuned in to Jim’ll Fix It like two full moons.  I thought it was brilliant.  The letter-writers’ deepest under-ten wishes felt like my wishes too.  The innocence of the neatest, most practiced handwriting:  the full stops, the trust and the hope, all written to dear uncle Jim.  The show was a highlight of Saturday night.  I was fascinated by Jimmy’s special chair with the drawers and the gadgets, and of course, the badges. ‘Your letter was only the start of it!’  sang the theme tune, and I’d sing along, knowing all the words, and watch as he made dreams come true:  a young boy got to meet K9 from Doctor Who, a girl got to sing with Amazulu, another girl got to dance with Bonnie Langford, a boy went up in a plane, another boy was chauffeur-driven in a Rolls Royce. From time to time there was a school or a group wish, such as that of the cub scouts.

Some of the most iconic Jim’ll Fix Its featured the scouts.  One highly unique wish was for a pack to ride The Revolution rollercoaster whilst eating their lunches.  I remember vividly rolling with laughter on the carpet at home as bottles of milkshake and orange juice spilled over their heads, a cream cake got mashed in a face and crisps went flying.  I looked it up on youtube the other day.  As I watched I thought this sort of thing wouldn’t be allowed now, would it?  At surface level the risk of choking wouldn’t pass the health and safety regs. 

If only that had been the only worry. 

In 1976 another cub scout pack wrote in asking to race milk floats at Brands Hatch.  After the studio shoot Savile took nine year old Kevin to a dressing room and asked him, ‘Do you want to earn your badge?’  When I watched this haunting reconstruction in The Reckoning played so terrifyingly by Steve Coogan I felt physically sick, again and again throughout, as virtually every scene was predatory Savile looming over a victim, his eyes calculating, searching and landing quietly on a child.  Kevin was nine.

I was around the same age as Kevin when I watched and loved Jim’ll Fix It.  Now I don’t know how to reconcile it.  I’m angry.  Savile held those precious letters between his yellow fingers with another agenda.  He tainted all those childhood dreams.  Worse than tainted, he blackened them.  The memory, their memory, their greatest wishes… he blackened it all, and it will haunt the victims forever.

People say, you must have known when you watched it - look at him - he’s creepy.  I honestly did not know.  The man I saw on Jim’ll Fix It seemed to love kids, he was warm, avuncular, kind, thoughtful. He asked his young guests questions about their lives, he seemed interested in what they had to say.  He made wishes come true then awarded them with the most coveted prize of all, a Jim’ll Fix It badge.  Jim wore a mask I believed.

I was protected by a television screen.  Television was dreams, a land far away full of balloons and dancing and colour and fantasy.  Jimmy Savile was at the heart of all of it; he was everywhere at the time, in Jim’ll Fix It, Top of The Pops, he was running marathons, on the news, he was raising money, he was standing beside royalty.  I wonder now, if he’d been alive during this time of social media, how much further damage he could have done.

It wasn’t a wish he granted, it was a nightmare.  What he did to the children that loved him was a gross abuse of power that cannot be reconciled. He even roped in his pal Gary Glitter from time to time to grant a wish, both of them trying to kiss teenage girls on the lips in front of the camera.  That particular show, Jim’ll Fix It, dominated our screens for nineteen years from 1975 until 1994, but Savile had been abusing children since the 1950s.  Lots of important people knew about it, and they covered it up for sixty years. 

I feel an entire spectrum of emotions after watching The Reckoning.  It is horrific what he was permitted to get away with.  As an adult I am broken hearted for the hundreds, maybe thousands of victims.  I wish they could get their justice.

Echoes of Savile’s sinister abuse reach far and wide. 

Steve Coogan as Savile is a sickening and truthful watch. As for Jim’ll Fix it, I was hoodwinked.

i think mike and will play house when they’re little kids, like they pretend to be husband and wife. and then when lucas joins the group and wants to be included mike is like okay well i guess you can be .. our son? and then years later when they’re like 13 lucas brings it up as a funny story and mike is like DON’T talk about that. and lucas is like ok damn chill out bro. fast forward to a few years later when mike and will start dating and lucas is like Oh okay it was a touchy subject i get it. when he brings it up again will thinks it’s hilarious but mike is just like.. go to your room, you’re fucking grounded and additionally i am putting you up for adoption.

#byler #this is stupid. anyway. #one thing about 6 year old me is i would be in the tiny plastic kitchen cooking some plastic fried chicken for my 6 year old husband #his name was kevin we were very happy together but he’s a cop now #anyway.

alvin the treacherous (as someone who was always on the receiving end of hiccup's clever methods of incapacitation as an attempt to escape his clutches to the point where alvin is used to it) interrupting valhallarama's speech with this quip had me crying like

#can i just say that that is typical?? 😒 #AJSHDAKJsd #😭😭😭 #their dynamic is giving home alone where hiccup is kevin and alvin is the burglar who gets fucking COOKED #httyd books #httyd book 10 #httyd book spoilers #how to seize a dragon’s jewel #jackshiccup text

kevin’s general boytoy helplessness does arrive to the natural conclusion that he is probably dogshit at cooking however i think there is something inherently funny about him liking it but being too horrified by the process of handling raw meat / deboning fish or chicken / seeing animal blood or their organs. i need to see this grown man depend on a more responsible adult to prepare the meat he is about to cook

#i also think in the k/t marriage kevin definitely is the one who cooks but he needs theas help for those parts 😭 #kevin: making ribs tonight… thea: (sighing) i’ll get the cleaver #doubly funny for canon-age too. kevin will make dinner if andrew debones the fish #otherwise its not happening #YES i can cook. NO im not touching raw meat or blood or organs #i believe this is a staple in every kevin dynamic he needs a person who will do that for him and the rest is secondary #txt #kevin

✧.* “Is this how to cook?”

✧. ┊You teach him how to cook but uhh... Why do you smell fire?

✧. ┊Kevin Kaslana x Reader.

✧. ┊Warnings: None. No, proofread. Also, it’s short. 🧍

- ,, A/N: This pop out in my head out of nowhere.

—

-At first, Kevin is a cold-temperature guy and a Kaslana. Although, he wasn’t highly good at cooking nor how to make proper meals.

- So... You teach him how to cook food other than ramen.

- He followed your steps yet, actually burned the kitchen.

- How actually? Well, he used the Judgment of Shamash thinking it intends to be nice and flavorful. You disagree with that.

- “First, boil 2 cups of water.” “Is this correct?” “WAIT— KEVIN, NO—”

- You’d still teach him how to cook except without those weapons. :D

- At the end of the day, he made slightly burnt food! At least he tried his best.

- Yet, you like it or not.

what do u make of the scene after rikos death when renee calls jean and there's screaming and glass breaking in the background. poor kevin cant grieve in peace

i dont think it was necessarily the foxes or even related to kevin at all! i imagine the news spread and raven fans revolted or something like that..... although i will say i expected kevin to be so much more visibly depressed re: grieving riko i was surprised at how light-hearted he is! like in conversation with jeremy and when he tells jean andreil are speaking german and stuff... there's obviously a thread of tension to pick apart there but wow. he really is going to therapy. i knew betsy wasn't lying when she told jean she's kevin's therapist because kevin was able to speak about his hand to jeremy in an almost laughing way......... he's truly come a long way :')

#i want whatever they put tsc kevin on like this cant just be prozac this has to be like. the work of a team of psychiatrists #this person was stable to a point of surprise like he was renee-levels of serene #did they finally let him smoke weed. what happened here. i want to know about him and betsy so bad #honestly isn't it crazy to you that tnotg got a bunch of post-canon stuff right (kevjean reconciliation kevin jeans first love kevin therap #me 3 years ago cooking placing the first tile that would lead to nora sakavic writing tsc #asks #kevin #my baby love........... he's so normal now
