The original allegations about Mr Freud, and indeed Mr Savile, were not actually made public by the BBC, but by it's arch-rival, ITV. The revelations unfolded in episodes of the ITV documentary series, "Exposure":

Series 2 Episode 2 The Other Side of Jimmy Savile (broadcast 3 October 2012)
and
Series 6 Episode 2 Abused and Betrayed - A Life Sentence (broadcast 15 June 2016)

Any reporting by the BBC on the subject has mostly been damage limitation. If anything, it has been ITN (Independent Television News) and Sky News who have been making the most noise, constantly gloating about these cases.

It's a no-win situation for the Beeb. If they broadcast programmes featuring any of the disgraced individuals who have been accused or convicted of sex crimes (i.e. Clement Freud, Jimmy Savile, Gary Glitter, Rolf Harris, Jonathan King, Dave Lee Travis) they will get moaned at. When they edit them out of future broadcasts they get moaned at.

I'm actually pleased that they included mostly Freud episodes in "The Golden Collection", but looking at the negative review that was posted on Amazon and Audible (probably by the same person!) it's obvious that not everyone is happy. So they're damned if they do, damned if they don't...
