'''''Jim'll Fix It''''' is a British television series broadcast by the [[BBC]], presented by [[Jimmy Savile]] and running for almost two decades, between May 1975 and July 1994. Devised by [[Bill Cotton]], the show encouraged children to write a letter to Savile with a "wish" that would come true at the end of each episode, upon which the child would be granted a medal. Famous people who appeared on the show included [[Muhammad Ali]], ''[[Doctor Who]]'' stars [[Tom Baker]] and [[Colin Baker]], [[Rolf Harris]], [[Gary Glitter]], [[Margaret Thatcher]] and [[Peter Cushing]].

''Jim'll Fix It'' was briefly revived in 2007 as ''Jim'll Fix It Strikes Again'' and a television special aired in 2011 following Savile's death. A year after Savile's death, [[Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal|allegations of child sex abuse]] against him arose relating to the television series.
