What happens when the most powerful institutions in the world - the BBC, the Police, and even the Royals - turn a blind eye to a monster? In this explosive episode, Andrew Gold sits down with Mark Williams-Thomas, the award-winning investigator who finally took down Jimmy Savile.

Mark breaks his silence on the "phenomenal" fight to get his investigation on air, the list of high-profile names in media today who are still under suspicion, and the shocking 40 million pound cover-up that allowed the rot to spread. From the "halo effect" that protected Savile to the psychological grooming techniques used to infiltrate the elites, this is a masterclass in investigative truth-seeking.
Why did it take a "maverick" ex-cop to do what the authorities wouldn't? Are there still "Saviles" hiding in plain sight at major TV channels? Andrew and Mark dive deep into the psychology of power, the failure of institutional "whitewash" reviews, and the list of names Mark still keeps in his phone book.
