We revealed last year that Alan Partridge star Coogan, 56, will play the evil Jim’ll Fix It host.

Savile died aged 84 in 2011.

The Reckoning is expected to air on BBC One next year.

Writer Neil McKay revealed some of those targeted by Savile would be on set to see Coogan, 56, wearing reproductions of the monster’s outfits.
