Episode 90 - Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell

Faking Lit

MWAH I KISS YOU Remember that guy with that website? This week the Idiots get all sentimental and romantic with George Orwell's terrifying vision of an inescapable, totalitarian future, "Nineteen Eighty-Four", arguably the most romantic of all the Dystopian works we are covering in our unofficial Dystopia series, and not something that I've forced into shape in response to the caprices of the marketplace - we chart the enduring legacy of Nineteen Eighty-Four and its influence of middle-of-the-road television programming - find out how Eric Arthur Blair became George Orwell - examine how height is intrinsically linked to power structures - confront our own fears as we each describe our own personal Room 101. Featuring Special Guest Expert Policeman Montague, a Camden Borough Police Officer.
