interview from 1967: The Prevalence of Hobbits
"Exhausting! God help us, yes. Most of the time I'm fighting against the natural inertia of the lazy human being. The same old university don who warned me about being useful around the house once said, 'It's not only interruptions, my boy; it's the fear of interruptions,'" (His wife, Edith Mary, isn't in good health and Tolkien does a lot of housework.)

from BBC Online - Top of the Pops - Jimmy Saville Page 1
TOTP: What was the impact of that very first show? Did it change anybody’s life?
Jimmy: " The majority of the people didn’t watch it because it came at 6.30 on New Years Day. In 1964 a lot of people had hangovers. It didn’t change my life because it was just a pinnacle, it was a culmination. It did change the life of many people when it became a household name. Parents watched [Top of the Pops] because it was the only time they could ever join in with anything with their kids. The kids could opinionate and tell them about this that and the other - it was a 30 minute reunion of a family which at that time was threatening to break apart. It was a great fusing together.
...
TOTP: As it went through the 70’s TOTP was criticised for sexism - what is your view?
Jimmy: "In the 70s, 80s and 90s there came something called Political Correctness. Now Political Correctness, apart from being a load of crap, is something that gives lesser people a tub to thump, people who are nothing. They would come and say you are doing this and that. Why didn’t they ask Pan’s People if they minded dancing in provocative gear? They enjoyed it. Queen Cleopatra wore gear like that - I mean, do me a favour! Political correctness has ruined more people, jobs, and atmospheres than anything else in today’s society."
