Viewers of BBC's The Reckoning have been left 'feeling sick' by Steve Coogan's impressive performance as he transformed into sexual predator and TV presenter Jimmy Savile
BBC viewers say they have been left 'feeling sick' after watching Steve Coogan's transformation into Jimmy Savile on The Reckoning.
Viewers were left uncomfortable by Steve's impressive performance, which saw him mirror Savile with a blonde wig, bright tracksuits, and his signature cigar. Taking to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, one person said: "Had to give up after 20 minutes of 'The Reckoning.' Steve Coogan's Savile impression is masterful, but it was just too icky in the end."
One person explained: "I kind of wish Steve Coogan wasn't quite so convincing as Jimmy Savile. Seeing him walking and talking on screen like this is just... Stay dead, please, you vile piece of dogs**t."
