==Notable "Fix-its"==
Following Savile's death in 2011, the BBC cited famous examples of "fix-its" from the show, including the group of cub scouts who were sent to eat a packed lunch on a rollercoaster at the [[Blackpool Pleasure Beach]], and the young viewer who played drums with [[Adam and the Ants]] for a performance of their track "[[Kings of the Wild Frontier (Adam and the Ants song)|Kings Of The Wild Frontier]]".<ref name="richie"/>
