because he's a peadophile which shouldn't be given the time of day, beside why do we want to be known as the wiki with that page on Jimmy Saville. I think we should delete it, besides he only appeared to practically introduce the programme, we can pretend he didn't introduce it and just include the special. It's just not good to have a page for this terrible man.

James Wilson Vincent "Jimmy" Savile was the host of Jim'll Fix It, and thus a participant in A Fix with Sontarans.
He was one of the BBC's main personalities — particularly popular in the 1970s and 1980s. In the autumn of 2012, a year after his death, ITV journalists broke the news that he was a serial paedophile, and had abused his position as a popular BBC television personality throughout his long career.[1]
The BBC's response to this revelation, as well as a subsequent act of incompetent journalism related to the Savile investigation, led directly to the resignation of the newly-installed Director-General George Entwistle.
It also led to A Fix with Sontarans being deleted from later pressings of the DVD release of The Two Doctors, which had included it since the DVD's original 2003 release.[2]
