The Reckoning: First look as Steve Coogan seen as Jimmy Saville in BBC drama trailer

The BBC has released the first trailer for The Reckoning, a new drama about the Jimmy Savile scandal starring Steve Coogan as the disgraced host.

Broken down into four parts, the Alan Partridge actor will portray what happened in the years before Savile was found to be a prolific sex offender.

“I’m not an act. What you see is what you get,” Coogan says eerily in the trailer.
