Safely leave the girl in my capable hands here

>> Rolf Harris to vile Savile on Jim'll Fix It >> New documentary on disgraced Aussie

- MARK JEFFERIES

ROLF Harris jokes with Jimmy Savile about leaving a girl "safely in his arms" in chilling footage that will sicken viewers of a new documentary.

Paedophile Savile and convicted sex abuser Harris appeared on screen together in a 1976 episode of Savile's BBC show Jim'll Fix It.

Savile 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 then cuts to Savile and Harris on stage with the nervous-looking girl.

Savile says: "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 replies: "Safely leave her in my capable hands here....

Harris then starts painting and tells Lynn: "Enjoying it so far? Give them a big smile because they only see the back of your head otherwise, you see?"

After the drawing is finished, Savile returns and Harris says: "She is anxious to run away.

Savile replies: "She is, I've got fast hold of her here... Harris says: "You stay here and enjoy it, girl."

Then huge TV stars, the pair also appeared side by side in 1992 on Rolf's Cartoon Show and attended a fete at Broadmoor Hospital in Berkshire, touring a ward together. The Jim'll Fix It footage is part of new ITV documentary Rolf Harris: Hiding In Plain Sight. There is no suggestion Lynn was abused.

The programme shows how Harris became a national treasure, who painted the Queen's portrait in Buckingham Palace, but allegedly humiliated girls and sexually assaulted women for decades.
