With the end nearing, The Reckoning circles back to its ongoing obsession with Savile’s Catholicism. Conferring the last rites after the latest in a series of health scares, a priest wonders if Savile might like to get anything off his chest.

Coogan is earnest and unshowy in a difficult part. In the run-up to The Reckoning, many wondered if his Savile might contain distracting traces of his comedy creation Alan Partridge: another broadcaster chucked on the light entertainment compost heap and unable to climb out.
