While neither the cases of Hall nor Roache were directly linked to the Savile case, the police inquiry into sex crimes has shocked Britons.
Last week, celebrity publicist Max Clifford, 70, whose clients have included "The X Factor" reality TV creator Simon Cowell, was charged by police after he was accused of 11 offences of indecent assault between 1966 and 1985.
Australian children's entertainer Rolf Harris, 83, who once painted the queen's portrait, former BBC radio DJ Dave Lee Travis, 67 - praised by Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi for keeping her entertained during her years of house arrest - and comedian Freddie Starr, 70, are among those arrested.
Clifford and others who have spoken out publicly or through their lawyers have denied any wrongdoing.
Media commentator Roy Greenslade said he expected the successful prosecution of Hall would lead to even more women coming forward with allegations.
"My first thought on hearing this string of arrests was that the police couldn't possibly effect prosecutions that would succeed because of the length of time between the offence having happened and now," he told Reuters.
Greenslade said the historic offences reflected the fact people in the 1960s and 1970s had ignored "sexual shenanigans".
"It does seem to me that we as a society in the 1960s, we didn't let this concern us too much," he said.
