From the BBC:
The BBC has apologised for airing hundreds of television and radio programmes between 1968 and 1994 in which disgraced DJ Jimmy Savile featured heavily.
Viewed with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, the footage could be interpreted as giving clues that Savile was behaving inappropriately towards members of the audience.
"Unfortunately this twenty-six year long series of clues was overlooked," said the BBC after seven viewers complained.
"And know we think about it, it was all a load of self-aggrandising shit. Goes to show, eh?"
