Your licence fee well spent: BBC News - Panorama airs programme on Newsnight's Savile investigation

BBC News - Panorama airs programme on Newsnight's Savile investigation

The programme was broadcast the day before BBC director general George Entwistle appears before MPs.

Liz Dux, a lawyer for some victims, told it of claims a paedophile ring had been operating at the BBC.
Police have described Savile, who died in October 2011 aged 84, as a predatory sex offender.

Among the interviews filmed by Newsnight, and aired on Panorama, was one with Karin Ward, a former pupil at Duncroft approved school for girls in Middlesex.

She said she recalled seeing singer Gary Glitter, now a convicted paedophile, having sexual intercourse with a girl from the school in Savile's dressing room. Glitter denies the latest allegations.

She said the room was "packed" with people and Savile, who was present when the abuse was taking place, "laughed about it".
