Quote:
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.
