My friend really loved Jimmy Savile (the feeling would have probably been mutual) and asked him to fix it for her to meet Cher, another of her idols.
Despite the fact that she never heard back from Jim or any of the production crew or indeed anyone at all, she was convinced that it was going to happen and she kept her weekends free in case Jim called one Friday afternoon to tell her she was meeting Cher the next day.
She was a sweet girl but a little naive. Years later she was 100% sure she was going to marry one of the members of Hanson.
I personally never wrote to Jim or even watched the show as my mum said Jim was a dirty man - that doesn't mean my mum's as perceptive as b&d's dad, my mum says that about a lot of people on tv (the only exception to this is Ben Fogle, or as she sees him, Adonis).
