The former BBC Radio One producer, Ted Beston, has been arrested as part of the investigation into allegations of sexual abuse against Jimmy Savile and others in the entertainment industry.

Mr Beston, 76, from Bromley in south east London, was detained at 06.30 GMT by detectives from Operation Yewtree.

He is being questioned on suspicion of sexual offences at a police station.

Mr Beston worked with the late presenter on his Radio One shows, including Savile's Travels.

In that show Savile travelled across the UK talking to members of the public.

Savile affectionately referred to Mr Beston on air as "Uncle Ted".

During the day there have been signs of police activity at Mr Beston's house - three men in suits were seen to leave the premises in two cars carrying a large black holdall and three sealed black bin liners.

The former producer is being investigated under the strand of the investigation termed "Savile and others" - meaning that the allegations are linked to Jimmy Savile.

"Uncle Ted" .....

Blimey calm down Omah. Sorry to have caused you such offence. I'm sure that every single "victim" is 100% honest . There is that better.

FORMER BBC radio producer Ted Beston has “vehemently denied” historic allegations put to him by detectives investigating the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal.

Mr Beston, 76, was arrested by Operation Yewtree detectives yesterday morning on suspicion of sexual offences, then later bailed until February.

In a statement released through his lawyers today, the former Radio 1 producer said he was shocked by the allegations.

The statement added: “What emerged in October 2012 was a side of Savile that Mr Beston never knew.”

The statement, released today by Ewings and Co Solicitors, said: “Yesterday, Ted Beston, the former Radio 1 producer, was arrested by officers from Operation Yewtree. Mr Beston was not charged.

“Mr Beston vehemently denies the historic allegations put to him by the police.

“When the Savile story surfaced in October, Mr Beston made clear then that he was shocked by the allegations...

“For the time being, Mr Beston will be saying nothing further and we request that Mr Beston, who is now 76, be allowed to deal with these false claims without undue intrusion.”

A note written by Jimmy Savile declaring his love for Margaret Thatcher shows how he tried to enlist support for a hospital where he is known to have abused vulnerable people.

In what now appear to be chilling references, Savile refers in the letter to the excitement of his "girl patients" and "paralyzed (sic) lads" at Stoke Mandeville Hospital following a lunch with Thatcher in 1980.

The letter is among a series of previously secret files released to the National Archives in Kew, south west London.

Hand-written on "Jim's 'Daily Dozen' paper", it bears the address Flat 84, 22 Park Crescent, W1.

It reads: "Dear Prime Minister. I waited a week before writing to thank you for my lunch invitation because I had such a superb time I didn't want to be too effusive.

"My girl patients pretended to be madly jealous + wanted to know what you wore + what you ate. All the paralyzed lads called me 'Sir James' all week. They all love you. Me too!!

"Jimmy Savile OBE xxx."

The previously unseen documents reveal Savile's regular communications with Mrs Thatcher and Number 10.

Correspondence showing the depth of the friendship between Sir Jimmy Savile and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is unveiled today in a secret Downing Street file that has been heavily redacted by civil servants following revelations about sexual abuse by the late entertainer.

The 21-page dossier released under the 30-year rule by the National Archives shows Savile's extraordinary access to the highest echelons of British society, chronicling lunches and personal letters between Mrs Thatcher and the DJ in the 1980s.

They show how Savile curried favour in political circles and was granted invitations to Chequers with the then Prime Minister. It is claimed that Savile, who was knighted in 1990 for services to charity, became a regular visitor to Chequers, spending New Year's Eve with the Thatcher family on a number of occasions.

Notes on the file show that several pages were removed and material from other entries deleted for 40 years by officials using exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act on 11 October this year – a week after ITV broadcast a documentary revealing allegations of sexual assault against Savile. Sources told The Independent that the redactions were not relevant to Operation Yewtree, the ongoing Scotland Yard investigation into Savile's crimes which has since uncovered 450 potential victims. It is understood the redacted material, which includes a note of a telephone message and letter from Savile to Mrs Thatcher, has not been passed to police.

There are six notes throughout the dossier stating that material has been "deleted and closed" for a further 40 years under exemptions granted by the FOI act. It is understood that the exemptions used by officials in the Cabinet Office cover an obligation to withhold personal information and information given in confidence.

"Redactions" .....

SUFFOLK Constabulary has received at least three allegations of people being abused by Jimmy Savile, it has emerged.

A spokesman for Suffolk Constabulary said: “Prior to the commencement of the Met investigation and to Jimmy Savile’s death, Suffolk Constabulary received no reports of abuse in relation to him.

“Since the start of the Met investigation (up to October 30), Suffolk Constabulary has received a total of three complaints/allegations in relation to Jimmy Savile, all of which were forwarded to Operation Yewtree.

“We would encourage anyone who wishes to raise concerns - no matter how historic - to come forward and contact the police.”

Two of the complaints were received between October 24 and October 30, according to police.

Claims that Savile abused patients at Leeds General Infirmary, Stoke Mandeville Hospital and Broadmoor high-security psychiatric hospital emerged soon after he was exposed as a serial paedophile in October last year.

Now, however, the man whose ITV documentary triggered Savile’s fall from grace has said at least 10 more hospitals could be drawn into the scandal surrounding the late TV and radio star.

Mark Williams-Thomas said: “There are a significant number of other hospitals that will be named about which the police have received allegations. It’s likely to be 10 or more.”

No details were available today on which additional hospitals were on the police’s radar.

Jim Davidson, who was arrested by police investigating the Jimmy Savile abuse scandal, "vigorously denies" the claims against him, the comedian's solicitor has said.

Allegations dating back 25 years have been made by two women, according to lawyer Henri Brandman.

Both men were later released on bail until March pending further inquiries.

Davidson had reportedly been detained at Heathrow Airport as he returned to the UK to be a contestant on Channel 5's Celebrity Big Brother.

Six men and a woman were seen leaving Davidson's house in Stockbridge, Hampshire, carrying boxes.

In a statement, Mr Brandman said: "Two women have made allegations in respect of Jim that date back approximately 25 years.

"The complainants were then in their mid 20s. Jim vigorously denies the allegations.

"He answered police questions as fully as he was able after this passage of time.

"He has not been charged with any offence. Neither he nor I will be making any further comment."

So, allegations of sexual offences against two adult women .....

So he must be guilty, because why would they make accusations if he wasn't?

Nowadays a person is guilty if accused, no need for a costly trial or a tedious search for actual evidence, the accusation is enough.

The 59-year-old entertainer was questioned on Wednesday in connection with allegations involving two women dating back a quarter of a century.

There was no sign of the comedian or his wife, Michelle Cotton, at their riverside cottage in Stockbridge, Hants, and neighbours said he had not been seen for several weeks.

The local vicar visited the house and put a note through the letter box.

He refused to comment on how well he knew Mr Davidson however or if he knew of his whereabouts.

It is thought Mr Davidson, who used to live in Dubai, may have left the UK and flown to the Middle East after his release from police custody.

This story with Jim Davidson is pushing the limits of credibility, as he may or may not have had sexual relations with two adult women over 25 years ago..!!!

Really... So what and what has this to do with Jimmy Savile abusing children ??

The phrase "Witch hunt" comes to mind now with this story and most people will wonder at trying to publicise allegations of impropriety against a whole list of celebs and link them with the Jimmy Savile child abuse story.

What is the ultimate aim of this extended story ??

But we must root these people out

Only someone with something to hide would disagree...

So goes the mindset they had at Salem and at the House Un-American Activities commission ran by Senator Joseph McCarthy...

This film seems quite germane to all of this
