I can think of several who I could believe would be involved. I won't name them however, as I don't want to get either myself or the site into trouble.
On a slightly different note, it seems that the man running Children In Need banned Jimmy Savile from working on Children in Need, and the only reason he didn't report Jimmy is that he only ever heard rumours, but never saw evidence.

I think that is the problem. A lot of people heard rumours, but not a lot actually had evidence. To act against a person in Jimmy's position, even people in the BBC management would have needed evidence. Based on various things I have read, Jimmy would not have hesitated to launch legal action (or take other actions like cancel donations to charity) against anyone who would have accused him of this. I also don't doubt for a second that he would have gone out of his way to end the career of anyone below him who he thought had grassed on him.
The problem is, it seems, that he was extremely good at frightening those who might have been able to give evidence against him.
