London- An old video showing Jimmy Savile literally mauling a young girl on live TV while millions watched in their homes has surfaced. The Top of the Pops video was shot on November 25, 1976 in the BBC's West London TV Center.

The video shows Savile, then in his 50s, groping Sylvia Edwards while he announced the next song to viewers on Top of The Pops, saying with a smirk on his face, “I tell you something, a fella could get used to this, as it happens, he really could get used to it.”
He reportedly pushed his hands up Edwards' skirt and groped her bottom, surrounded by other teenage girls, some of whom watched his crude antics with TV smiles plastered on their faces.
Sylvia Edwards' reaction to being molested by a man old enough to be her father on live TV was confused. She fixes a smile made for the TV cameras on her face but struggles desperately to escape the groping fingers. At the first contact, she jumps off the chair with a shriek.Then she wriggles to avoid the groping hands of the presenter who continues talking to the camera even while molesting the girl.
According to the Daily Mail, Edwards, who is from Twickenham, south London, was at the time a 19-year-old trainee hairdresser. She told The Sun that later, she went to the BBC floor manager and told him what Savile had done, but he said “Get lost — it’s just Jimmy messing about.”
The Sun reports that this is the first video evidence of Savile's sex abuse. Edwards can be seen to the left of Savile holding flowers on the popular British program []iTop of The Pops
