Shouldn't this article at least mention the allegations made against Goodwin in the Jimmy Savile report written by Dame Janet Smith?
For example
"One of the series of articles in the News of the World alleged that Mr Goodwin was taking pornographic pictures of young girls at Top of the Pops and showing pornographic films in secret in his dressing room at Top of the Pops. This evidence was said to be disclosed on one of the covert tape recordings. It was said that Mr Goodwin described, with great pride, “a blue scene” and claimed also to have a wide selection of photographs of girls who had appeared in Top of the Pops, some of which were “porny”. The Savile investigation has received the transcripts of the interviews with Mr Goodwin and I can say that the News of the World report is a substantially accurate account of what he said to the undercover journalists. The tapes also contained further material which shows Mr Goodwin in a very poor light. At one stage, speaking about young girls attending Top of the Pops, he tells the journalist that he would not “do it” in his dressing room but “if you want to do it you can take ‘em into Wood Lane and fuck ‘em outside there”. He also spoke about taking girls to hotels. He may have been exaggerating; I do not know."
