The BBC has apologised after a character from the children's television show CBeebies appeared dressed as Jimmy Savile.
Max, the character, used the disgraced presenter's accent and catchphrases and wore one of Savile's trademark tracksuits topped off with a blond wig.
The episode featured Max presenting a Top Of The Pops-style programme and uttering the paedophile's catchphrase: "Now then, guys and gals."
