- such an inspiring man. Im glad i was introduced to Orwell in my English lessons. He change my perception on literature in general, and on the ignorance of people's reponses to authority.
- Awesome - I feel the deepest respect for him now and I hope I can live up to his example
"Don't let it happen"
- It's worse than you thought, George.
- Absolutely terrifying, all the more for being so true and prescient.
- On You!
- The beginning of the documentary stated that there are no known audio or video of Orwell himself, the portrayal of him is done by an actor named Chris Langham. side note: Langham would later be found guilty of downloading indecent images of children from the Internet, and not guilty of six counts of indecent assault. Langham says he is innocent of all charges.
- an extraordinary life.
- A remarkable man!
- Why? that would be completly condidictory to what is begigining to happen there.
- I saw in the credits that DJ Taylor was the consultant of the series. He is also the author on a biography of the Orwell called:"Orwell The Life" published by Vintage, so it makes sense that he acted as a consultant. Most of the words that the actor impersonating Orwell uttered, I could identify as extracts from his essays. It was a well-researched effort.
- Fantastic programme! Thanks for uploading all of these clips!
- Well, its definately here, its always been here, we were just fast asleep dreaming about football, American Idol, dancing with the stars, fast cars, sex, alcohol
and rock 'n roll.
Well im sad to say we are about to pay for our past comfort dellusions with blood.
- Shame he was played by Chris Langham - very good acting but...well, we know why this probably won't be released on DVD.
- Tnx for uploading
- he just did what he wanted to do, dude, i think that's worthy of respect. besides, it's not that quitting smoking will save you from tb, anyways.
- This is television worth watching.
1984 was a really good book, but as Aldous Huxley said, the pattern of the Brave New World (Order) is more likely to happen because it's more effecient. And it seems that it's the pattern we live in today.
- It's an actor.
- this is the real george orwell or is an actor?? i´m so confused, it seems a film
- Thanks for up loading!
Tho find it sad that part A has 63 thousand plus views but the last part Q only has 6 thousand plus views. Shame that people can't be bothered to watch such a well made program as this from start to finish!
Also a shame that his predictions seems to be coming true in the way are governments are moving towards using fear as a way of taken peoples liberties away for one example!
