Jim Davidson, the comedian and former gameshow host, has been arrested as part of the Metropolitan police investigation into alleged sexual offences by Jimmy Savile and others.

The 59-year-old, who became the face of the BBC's Saturday night in the 1990s with shows such as The Generation Game and Big Break, was held in west London on suspicion of sexual offences.

Police officers were seen entering Davidson's house in Hampshire on Wednesday afternoon with clear plastic evidence bags, according to a local news agency.

Davidson "vigorously denies" allegations made against him by two women, his solicitor Henri Brandman said . In a statement, Brandman said: "Two women have made allegations in respect of Jim that date back approximately 25 years. The complainants were then in their mid 20s.

I'd love to know what sort of evidence they hope to obtain in those bags with regards to events 25 years ago.

If you think he is bad, don't bother looking at Roy Chubby Brown or the others on the Northern Circuit! Davidson works relatively tame, compared to some of the "comedians" that appeared in the northern clubs, or even on Blackpool Pier!

6:40 - "There's so many perverts about now. We didn't have those in our day. We had to buy our own sweets!"

I wonder where this will all stop?
