Might be worth slowly getting rid of this Smilie for a bit...
British press hasn't named him. But an Australian website has pretty much all but named him!

I thought everyone but the BBC had named him? It was all over twitter, I even saw a video posted somewhere, but I can't find it now.

Hi name was certainly named last year when the allegations first arose, but I can't remember if that was supposition or whether it came from the Yewtree investigators themselves.
If it is true, it just goes to show that you can't trust a public image. This guy was supposed to a national treasure- he painted the Queen for goodness sake.
I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

Well let's see what comes of it, but the fact that he's been spoken to already and it looks like he'll be spoken to again doesn't seem too good.

Well, Rolf's been "named" now...
Rolf Harris has been arrested by police investigating historic sex abuse allegations following the Jimmy Savile scandal, according to a report in the Sun.
The 83-year-old Australian, a TV fixture for decades for his music, art and as a presenter of TV shows about animals, first came to Britain more than 60 years ago.
A spokesperson for the Met said: "We are not discussing the name of the individual."
Harris was originally interviewed under caution by Scotland Yard officers on Operation Yewtree last November, five days after they visited his home in Berkshire when he was not there. The Met said in an earlier statement: "The man from Berkshire was interviewed under caution on suspicion of sexual offences after attending south London police premises by appointment. On 24 November 2012 officers had executed a search warrant at an address in Berkshire."
It is understood that Harris was arrested last month but not charged with any offence. He has been bailed until May.
The entertainer, made a CBE in 2006 and Officer of the Order of Australia in the Queen's birthday honours last year, had been named in blogs and social media but not by mainstream media until Friday. Harris, one of 12 people arrested under Operation Yewtree, has made no public comment.
After Harris's arrest in March days before his 83rd birthday, a Scotland Yard spokesman said: "An 82-year-old man from Berkshire was arrested by officers on Operation Yewtree on suspicion of sexual offences. He has been bailed to a date in May pending further inquiries.
"The individual falls under the strand of the investigation we have termed 'others'."
These are individuals who have come to police attention as part of the Operation Yewtree investigation into Jimmy Savile but whose alleged offences are not connected to Savile.

Really beginning to feel like 1970s dead pool or something with this, as one by one the tv giants of that age get hauled in. Anyone for Mccarthyism?

QFT as they oft say on the interweb thingie ;-) he's a naughty naughty boy!
Back on topic though, it really does make you wonder who's next in the allegation firing line I mean we could end up hearing sordid tales of the most unlikely folk - Tony Hart? Or Johnnie Morris? ? (Btw in NO WAY am I suggesting either of these men are guilty of any wrongdoing merely that it seems childhood icons are being hunted and accused - where wil it end? )

It will end with a cull of gophers, the Lewinskiesque stains on John Craven's jumper, and a much closer look at what Bernie Clifton was ACTUALLY doing to that poor ostrich.
thinking about gophers, why did Roland Rat have condom ears?Last edited by Mike Saville; 9th May 2013 at 5:39 PM.

They've been moving through the alphabet and have moved onto the letter "P" now.
Paul Gambaccini has been charged. A scrolling message on Sky news. A report on Channel 4 News at 7.
