Sources said the BBC were in such a panic that they're going through the footage with a fine-tooth comb to ensure it's perfect.
'The sensitivities are such that the BBC know they absolutely have to get this 100 per cent right,' the source said.
'The four-part drama is being edited in such a meticulous and careful way, so as not to create further pain and suffering for the victims of Savile.'
'Most dramas don't take this long to edit and air, but they don't want to put a foot wrong.'
The paedophile's hunting grounds were often the sets of BBC productions, including Top Of The Pops, serving as the greatest stain on the network's history.
The Reckoning has been produced by leading dramatist Jeff Pope and is based on the book In Plain Sight by Dan Davies, who had the co-operation of some of Savile's victims.
Organisations for the survivors of sexual abuse blasted the BBC for making 'entertainment' out of Savile's crimes.
Last year, saying we need to look at individuals like Savile 'to prevent it happening again'.
Steve, who famously portrays fictional comedic character Alan Partridge, added that he spoke to actors playing the victims to put them at ease.

'I think that's because Jimmy Savile played a trick on the entire nation so there's a real feeling of antagonism about it,' Steve told hosts Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer.
He added: 'But you need to look at someone like that to understand how they're able to operate and to prevent it happening again.
'If you sweep it under the carpet and just don't talk about it anymore, then those people are destined to come back.'
Steve continued: 'I'd go and talk to them as myself and go, 'Hi, I'm Steve, I'm not Jimmy Savile, that's who I'm going to play today'.
'And you're playing a role and we're going to do it professionally, and it was so that they knew that I was someone else.
So it was a tightrope, but I think we did it properly.'
Steve previously explained in a statement the decision to play Savile was not one 'I took lightly'.
Cast: At the time of the release of the first look image, it was also revealed that Siobhan Finneran (pictured) and Gemma Jones had joined the cast
He added: 'Neil McKay has written an intelligent script tackling sensitively a horrific story which, however harrowing, needs to be told.'
At the time of the release of the first look image, it was also revealed that Siobhan Finneran and Gemma Jones have joined the cast, alongside Outlander's Mark Lewis Jones and White House Farm actor Mark Stanley.
It will trace the life of Savile, who became one of the UK's most influential celebrities for decades, but after his death he has become one of the most reviled figures of modern history following revelations of extensive and horrific abuse.
The BBC said: 'The team have worked closely with many people whose lives were impacted by Savile to ensure their experiences are told and reflected with sensitivity and respect, and the drama will also draw on extensive, wide-ranging research and published accounts.
'It will examine the impact his appalling crimes had on his victims, and the powerlessness many felt when they tried to raise the alarm.
'Four survivors of Savile who have contributed to 'The Reckoning' will also feature in the series, interviewed on camera to offer their further insight and to reflect on their experiences in the hope that the telling of their stories will prevent something like it happening again.'
The BBC first announced they had commissioned the drama in October 2020.
Jeff said in a statement at the time: 'I think this is a story that has to be told.
'We must understand why a man like Jimmy Savile seemed to remain immune for so long to proper scrutiny and criminal investigation.'
