Video: Newsnight journalists criticial of BBC over Jimmy Savile Reporter Liz MacKean and producer Meirion Jones, who worked on the dropped Newsnight investigation of Jimmy Savile, say the Pollard report found the decision to axe their programme was "flawed." Speaking outside Broadcasting House in central London following the publication of the report, Newsnight producer Meirion Jones criticised the BBC for pulling the story. I hope the BBC takes measures to make sure nothing like that will ever happen again. What I do feel confident about though is the BBC has now taken measures to make sure that children are safe here,"he said.
