Young Ralf Little’s letter to Jimmy Savile hasn’t aged well at all

Actor Ralf Little became a household name – and face – when he starred in the brilliant comedy, The Royle Family, as the long-suffering “Lurkio” – or “Antony”, to kinder people. Ralf grew up during the 80s and 90s, which probably accounts for him writing this letter, but it has not aged well. It has not aged well at all.

Bearing in mind the “Jim” is of course “Saville”, this letter has not aged well. pic.twitter.com/S5gqkQGydk

It was a very different time. A couple of people suggested it might actually be worse than it seemed …

And to make matters worse, that character on the left looks like Dave Lee Travis.

And the one at the top is a dead ringer for Fred Talbot.

There was, of course, one saving grace.

It hasn`t. Did you send it?

I have no idea. Have no memory of even writing it just found it today. I don’t think it’s a photocopy so… maybe I didn’t send it? Which in hindsight is possibly a result.
