Once thought of as an advocate for children, Savile made a career out of being a reliable and trustworthy face - much of his efforts focused on fundraising and he regularly appeared on the likes of Top of the Pops and Jim’ll Fix It.
Estimates reckon that Savile raised some £40 million during his life, much of which went into the Stoke Mandeville Hospital where he volunteered as a porter.
It would later transpire that Savile had used this position to sexually abuse more than 60 people in the facility's care, including severely unwell eight-year-olds.
The Netflix series comes just before another Savile based show is set to be released, a drama from the BBC called the Reckoning, which will star Steve Coogan as Savile.
