When Louis Met... Jimmy2000

Louis Theroux:
[voiceover] Although I'd gone to bed, Will stayed up late with Jimmy. He began talking about his work as a dancehall manager in the Fifties.

Jimmy Savile:
In the dancehalls I invented zero tolerance, I wouldn't stand for any nonsense whatever - ever. Ever ever ever. I was always in trouble with the law for being heavy-handed. Always. But I couldn't care less about that.

Will Yapp:
[off-camera] Ejecting people who were mucking about?

Jimmy Savile:
No, I never threw anybody out. Tied 'em up, and put them down in the bloody boilerhouse until I was ready for them, at 2 o'clock in the f***ing morning. They'd plead to get out! Nobody ever got slung out of my place.

Will Yapp:
Tied them up and put them in the back?

Jimmy Savile:
Oh aye, yeah. Oh aye, bollocks to them, yeah. We'd tie 'em up and everybody would come back and I was the judge, jury and executioner.

[the picture fades to a different point in the conversation]

Jimmy Savile:
You know, if a copper came and said "You was a bit heavy with them, that kid or those two guys, whatever", I'd say "Your daughter comes in here, she's 16, she's not supposed to come into town but she does and she comes here. Presumably you'd like me to look after her, if you don't want me to look after her, tell me, and I'll let them dirty slags do what they want to her" "All right, Jim, all right, all right, all right" "All right, then. Don't give me a f***ing hard time, then" "Yeah, you're right, you're right, you didn't give the bastard half enough, I'll tell you, Jim. Thank you, goodbye" And I never got nicked.

[he chuckles]

Jimmy Savile:
And I've never altered. I've got zero tolerance, me.

[he lights another cigar]
