| 1 | I was upset for Rolf Harris, who I know reasonably well, and I'm a great admirer of him; he's a very interesting, talented person. We just let these things go and it's hard to conceive how ghastly it must be. OK, you could say it's ghastly for whoever was involved - or not. But it's pretty ghastly for him, considering the age he is. |
| 2 | All I can say about that truthfully is that none of us ever thought he [Sir Jimmy Savile] was anything but strange. |
| 3 | [on Operation Yewtree] Something doesn't quite ring right. You see the police, or somebody, working their way through these people from 40, 50 years ago. A fuck of a long time, isn't it? What's been going on since? I just don't understand it. What made those women, or youngsters when they were growing up, suddenly go to the police? Or did they? Did the police suddenly decide from some unclosed dossier they have? |
| 4 | [on Rolf Harris, who was convicted of 12 indecent assaults against four girls] I find it really, really awful, because his wife is not well, hasn't been for a long time. As if life isn't tough enough really with all that sort of thing going on. Leave him alone. |
| 5 | [on Rolf Harris] He's a jolly bloke. He would want his morning cuddle from the secretary and she'd be only too happy to give it him. |
| 6 | Jimmy Savile had a big label on saying 'weirdo'. |
