One of the most memorable moments of the last 20 years on Newstalk was when Orla Barry, now Europe Correspondent with The World spoke to child sex offender Jimmy Saville.

Rumours had been swirling about his conduct with children, and in 2007, Orla Barry, then presenter of 'The Green Room' was one of the first to ask him directly about those questions.

Now, a new documentary has been made, and is now on Netflix - 'Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story' - partly based on those first allegations, and Orla joined Kieran on Wednesday's edition of The Hard Shoulder to give her thoughts all this time later.
