Kind of obvious in hindsight.

I'm 64 and we loved the Glitter band at school, I really loved the records at the time. My sister and I used to go to their Christmas concert in Portsmouth in the 80's, and afterwards, my brother invited the band to the Zurich Insurance Christmas party across from the Portsmouth Guildhall. One year my sister and I danced with the Glitter Band at the nightclub. We asked where Gary was, and they said he liked to go straight back to the hotel. Thinking now, I dread to think what he was up to. Yuk. My grandmother was from Banbury, and she said that she knew Gary's dad and during the war she sometimes pushed Gary out, in his pram. My gran and my mum and her sister, were evacuated to Banbury during WW2, and stayed with my grant's sister. Obviously, this was way before Gary was arrested. I'm just glad that we didn't meet Gary in the nightclub - but to be fair, in my 20's back then, I was too old for him. It's disgusting isn't it - those poor girls, shocking. Watching the TV documentary 2 nights ago, he intimated many times, what he was doing - just like Saville - 'hiding in plain sight' as they say. Revolting. Like Rolf Harris, they were only upset they'd been caught. Very selfish, horrible people. Thank God he has spent some years in prison - though the TV documentary 2 nights ago, said he was released last year, then re-offended as soon as he came out.

I don't know when and why Paul "turned". I socialised with him a bit in the late 60s when he was partly involved in the "squatters" movement. He had a great personality and was a talented campfire style guitarist with a good singing voice. He had a very large number of girlfriends and I have to say many of his male acquaintances, including me, were a bit jealous of his popularity with attractive girls, I was very happy when he made it as an entertainer but did not immediately appreciate that he and Gary Glitter were the same. As I said I don't know where it all went wrong but do know that it is rumoured that in his later years (his 50s) he liked being visited backstage after the show by 16 and 17 year old fans .

I was a victim of a distant relative 60 years ago. I mentally survived. During this, I vomited but continued. During my school years I was getting in trouble for attacking males trying to get some fun. I was small but made the matters go away. In 1981 I just survived death by a car hitting me on a motorcycle. For 3 months in traction, females from my two schools would visit me. I was married then, so they weren't after anything, but in their own way thanking me. Us MALES must protect all VICTIMS.

Rather than Bowie etc being cheered on, I would say it isn't talked about. The girls they slept with were not like the innocent knicker-wetting little teenyboppers who were taken advantage of by Gadd & Savile. They were in fact groupies who knew what they were doing and enjoyed the lifestyle. Yes of course it was wrong, but the situations are not comparable.

@@every1665 Look at it this way, it's one thing for girls to dress/look/act older than they are and fool men into believing they're of a certain age, but it's another thing for people like Gadd/Saville to actually go looking for underage girls and force themselves on them.

​@@NnNn-yr7muYes of course. That goes without saying.

in 1975 we were 10 & loved his & Glitter Bands’ hits cos of the jungle drum beat & catchy hooks ( but over half the tracks on their albums were covers of 1950s tunes & looking back at the mid 1970s British glam pop scene it wasn’t particularly original music because the sound was totally lifted from the rock n roll from a generation before as Rubettes & Showaddywaddys’ success proved ) but my being a boy didn’t have posters but after reading a comic book style story of his life in a 1975 Gary Glitter Annual i realised he was actually way too old even then when compared to other contemporary pin ups or pop acts like Donny Osmond , David Essex or Leo Sayer cos he was nearly 40 for gods sake. considering how in Britain you can be disgraced for nicking beef or vodka or drinking whilst driving , they should’ve given Raven & his like the jab .

This and other "celebrity" cases really make you wonder how many more there are that we don't know about.

First Pop record I ever had was one of his. I saw him many times (10 or more) in concert (every Christmas for years) and people who never saw him live have no idea how in control of an audience he was. He was up there with the best on stage. He always had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Sure his voice was pretty bad live but his stage presence was on another level and the shows were massive fun - no one left the theatre without a smile on their face.. So when all this kicked off I was as shocked as everyone. All through the 70's he was my favourite pop star. It was awful to find out what he did in his real life. There was a show on here from NYE at Birmingham that showed just what a hold he had an audience. People now just see the monster and most are too young to know how popular he was. Unlike Saville he always just came across as a fun guy on TV. Sad he used that power for what he did. Sadly there are a lot of modern stars who are just as bad - if not worse but they are protected.

Maybe it will be like, "Oh, thank goodness, you are my judge Jimmy! I can rely on you to fix it for me!"

I always knew he was a kiddie fiddler, never liked him, turned my stomach! Then there was a marridge in my family, and he was her Uncle. Luckily I never attended that wedding. When I told my sister she was shocked and stood by him “A lovely man, we had dinner at his home, lovely home” I just repeated my thoughts on him. It was just two years later it all came out…big sister was not happy that I was right.

I think he should be forgotten. I cannot imagine a DJ or anyone playing his music. Saville always looked like a pervert and I thought so at a young age, I was born in the 80's so didn't see his TV Shows. My parents also thought he was not just odd, but perverse.

Your documentary skills have grown impressively over the years and this video about Gary Glitter exemplifies your fine work 👍🏻

That can be taken two ways! Are you suggesting that they were the same person? Benny's sexual appetites didn't overlap with Gary's. Benny treated adult woman as sex objects, but nothing illegal.

I'm loathed to admit this but I was born in 1963 and, at the height of his fame in 1972/73 I was 9 and 10 years old. My sister took me to his concert in Glasgow in 1973 and, as a 10 year old, I 'acted' like Glitter for friends and family, singing along to his songs. Deeply embarrassing to this day. Anyhow, he then drifted away from 1974 onwards with a couple of real garbage songs like "Remember me this way" but had a couple of 'comebacks' with "Papa Oo Mow Mow" and a Christmas single (all crap and by this time, I'm about 14. He was touring in small clubs around the UK at this time and appeared at one a few miles outside of Edinburgh. I can't remember if I actually was that interested in going but I ended up doing so with my mother and cousins. The upshot is that, at the end of the gig, he had meet and greet time with fans and would invite just one or two, perhaps a small group, in to his dressing room. My mother and I went in and, although I cannot remember what was said - probably my mum would have said how huge a fan I was etc - BUT the vibe I got from Glitter was creepy. I cannot now, nearly 50 years later and having forgot about it until he was then outed, but this guy I had hero worshipped just a couple of short years before, gave me the chills and I couldn't and can't explain it. It was in the way he looked at you and almost like he expected the hero worship while there was a sleaziness in his whole demeanour. I felt extremely uncomfortable but I don't think my mother and I ever brought up the subject so I don't know if she felt the same. When all this started coming out about him, I was reticent to believe it at first but then I remembered that experience and it made sense. Yes, I remember him this way: A total f***ing creep!

his producer AND I believe was also his manager - whom was a constant throughout Ravens’ ‘glory years’ must have been aware of the man’s’ activities or character but had died just before the silt hit the fan. Assuming that he had already long gone after making a very good living from GG & Co , certainly got off very lightly leaving just members of the Glitter Band under obvious suspicion or suffering contention or the wilderness of small working mens’ clubs while their contemporaries of the day cashed in with big time tours & retro sales on their heritage for years . I still wonder if that’s why John Rosall got out when he did in spite of it being just as they were hitting gold. It may well have just been personal band dynamics but if it was because of the nasty stuff then it certainly says little for the rest of them although the band themselves struck out on their own so perhaps it was more than just Ravens’ ego which did it for them too.
