Steve Coogan says Jimmy Savile drama The Reckoning 'will vindicate itself'
Steve Coogan has said a TV drama in which he plays Jimmy Savile is " walking a tightrope" but will " vindicate itself" when it reaches screens.
Coogan will be seen later this year as the TV presenter and serial abuser in Bbc One 's The Reckoning .
" People have a sort of revulsion about the idea of even Making It , " The Actor told BBC Radio 5 Live.
" But in actual fact, it's a mistake to think that The Best way to deal with something is to not talk about it. "
Coogan is best known for his comedy characters such as Alan Partridge . For The Reckoning , he will transform into Savile, who preyed on hundreds of People - mostly vulnerable young Females - while one of the UK's most high-profile TV and radio personalities.
The Bbc has said the mini-series will examine how Savile " used his celebrity and powerful connections to conceal his wrongdoings and to hide in plain sight". It will also " examine the impact his appalling crimes had on his victims" producers have said.
On Wednesday, Coogan told 5 Live's Nihal Arthanayake: " The Script is very well written. And it's something that needs to be talked about because to understand how predators operate, you have to look at the whole picture.
" To do that, you have to say that People who do bad things are also human beings who have A Life . You need to look at that to understand how it happens.
" Like any kind of figure who is repellent, you have to understand it. You have to look at the whole picture. You can't just caricature them, because if he was a caricature, he wouldn't have got away with it, because he had a certain amount of charisma.
" So you have to look at that and understand it, And Then it's less likely to happen in The Future . If you don't talk about it, and you actually sweep them under the carpet, then you're destined for other characters like Jimmy Savile to Come Along and get away with it. "
The drama will be broadcast a decade after the accounts of Savile's abuse first became public, following his death at the Age Of 84.
" The writing of it has required a lot of skill, " Coogan continued. " It's walking a tightrope. But I think it will vindicate itself when It Comes out. I've seen a bit and I think it's good. We've got a stellar cast and it was all done with great sensitivity.
" Many of The Victims came along to watch the filming. The Script was written in consultation with The Victims by Neil Mckay . And those who are culpable don't escape scrutiny. "
