Jim'll Fix It
Ex radio DJ and Top Of The Pops host, Sir Jimmy Savile,
made dreams come true for hundreds of children on a show that
received a viewing audience of 19 million.
The show began in 1975 when Savile asked viewers to send in
their requests on the national television program Nationwide.
The show received 350,000 letters annually, or around 4,800
letters per day!
Memorable "Fix It's" included blowing up a cooling
tower, flying with the Royal Air Force, burning one million
pounds, going to Fawlty Towers to meet Manuel, and a now
legendary episode where a troop of cub scouts ate their lunch on a
roller coaster with hilarious results.
Your letter was only the start of it
one letter and now you're a part of it
Now you've done it
Jim has fixed it for you
and you and you
