    You really have a downer on John McCririck. I think this is the second or third time you've mentioned him in this context.

    But just because someone dresses flamboyantly doesn't mean they're a sexual deviant or a liberty taker with underage teenagers. If anything I'd say that makes it rather less likely than otherwise, and to me McCririck has never come across as creepy, which Saville always did.

      I don't recall mentioning him before, you've obviously got a better memory than me, for such things.

      Nothing to do with his flamboyance, I find him 'creepy' in the same way you found Savile. As for flamboyance making him 'less likely' to be a deviant, that doesn't really work; J.S. was one of the most flamboyant characters on TV in his day.

          So what? You can't find one flamboyant character and use that as evidence either way.

              What exactly is your point?

              Mine was a rebuttal of OwlHoot's assertion that a flamboyant character would be 'less likely' to be deviant, (presumably, due to the attention that they generate), by citing J.S. as an example.

                I was told years ago he is a bit of a deviant. Nothing illegal, but think Max Mosley.

                  Really? You'd think someone with a name like Holland would hate the Nazis.

                    To the sun reading classes anyone that involved in anything other than penetrative sex between consenting man and woman is deviant and therefore a child abuser.
