Absolutely terrifying, all the more for being so true and prescient.

@angelvela 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.

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.

Shame he was played by Chris Langham - very good acting but...well, we know why this probably won't be released on DVD.
Brilliant. I wish programming like this was in the States.

That final speech brings icy tears to my eyes. Terrifying and moving at the same time. A warning against all forms of authoritarianism like ice on the conscience.
