Chilling moment Rolf Harris jokes girl is 'safe' with him and Jimmy Savile revealed in ITV doc Hiding In Plain Sight | The Sun
PAEDOS Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile joke about a little girl being "safe" in their hands.
Sickening scenes from Savile’s BBC show Jim’ll Fix It also sees Harris snarl: "She is anxious to run away."
The child abusers appeared on screen together in the 1976 episode alongside a little girl who wanted to paint with Harris, now 93.
Savile – whose show 'fixed' "wishes" for youngsters that wrote in – reads a letter saying: “It do say here, dear Jimmy…
"I have always wanted to see Rolf Harris doing one of his paintings, please could you fix it for me. Love, Lynn.”
The camera cuts to Savile and Harris on stage with the nervous-looking girl, before Savile blurts: "You see this young lady, sir?

"She wishes that she could help you with one of your paintings, do you think I may leave her in your charge?"
Harris snaps: “Safely leave her in my capable hands here.”
The Australian – caged for five years and nine months in 2014 for indecent assault on 12 women including a seven-year-old girl – then starts painting.
The monster then tells the girl: "Enjoying it so far? Give them a big smile because they only see the back of your head otherwise, you see?"

After finishing the scrawl, Savile returns and Harris says: “She is anxious to run away."
Savile – who died in 2011 and considered one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders but never charged – sordidly replies: “She is, I’ve got fast hold of her here…”
Creep Harris adds: "You stay here and enjoy it, girl."
There is no suggestion the girl in the clip was abused by either Savile or Harris.
The chilling interaction will be aired in a new ITVX documentary called 'Rolf Harris: Hiding In Plain Sight', out Thursday May 18.
The show charts the rise of Harris from kids entertainer to national treasure who painted The Queen and appeared at kids festivals and on TV adverts.
But his 60-year career came crashing down when a childhood pal of his only child, Bindi, – known as Victim A – came forward alleging Harris groomed her aged just 13.
A victim impact statement was read out in court in 2014, it said: "The attacks that happened have made me feel dirty, grubby and disgusting. The whole sordid saga has traumatised me.
"I have panic attacks and suffer from anxiety. The effects of the abuse have been with me for many years. I started drinking at the age of 14 to 15 years old.
"This was to block out the effects of what he was doing to me."
In court, Bindi admitted learning about her dad and Victim A in the late 1990s, but claimed Victim A was 18 and the relationship was consensual.
'YOU'RE IRRESISTABLE'
A number of other women make claims of "degrading and awful” treatment by serial sex assaulter Harris over decades.
One of them, Karen Gardner, tells the ITVX show: "He said something, which still makes me feel sick now.
"He said to me, ‘You’re irresistible.’ I was 16. He was 48. He was 10 years older than my dad.
“I ended up promoting Rolf as an artist as well as playing in the band… being somebody organising shows."
She adds: "I actually took it up with Rolf and he looked at me, cut me off, and he said ‘Bear, we’ve all made mistakes in life. And I’ve made some pretty big mistakes and let’s just leave it there’."
Harris was acquitted of assaulting Karen Gardner after the jury failed to reach a verdict.
Harris – awarded an MBE, OBE and later CBE – was stripped of all of his honours in 2015.
He was released from prison on licence in 2017 after serving just under three years in HMP Stafford.
The monster lives in a £7 million mansion in Bray, Berkshire, caring for wife Alwen.
Rolf Harris: Hiding In Plain Sight will air on ITVX from May 18.
