I hope this will be informative for those of you who have a passing sympathy for or are 'victims' of Jimmy Savile's, panting for restitution. You ain't gonna get a dime out of this. Your lawyers likely are, and they probably did waaaaay more work than they are going to get compensated for when all's done and dusted.
The mine has failed.
There's nowt left for any of you. And if you thought you'd ever be compensated, let me clue you in. You're 'victims' all right. But not of Jimmy Savile's - of your own greed and gullibility.

This is very true and glad you said it. I hope that any Duncroft women who review this blog will give it some serious thought.

One thing that has occurred to me is that the Duncroft allegations were pretty small fry, until they began to be embellished.
Even taking those original allegations about intimate touching as true, they were, by their own admission consenting/playing games. Given that they never alleged any major assault by Savile at that time, then what was was going on could have been seen as just evidence of their own burgeoning sexual maturing, misdirected towards a man who might have been expected to know better.
Regardless of what Savile's behaviour may or may not have been, one sad thing is that these grown women now seem to have been convinced by puritannical men that their behaviour was so "wrong" that they have to be victims in order to be forgiven.
