Episode overview
In a totalitarian future society, Winston Smith, whose daily work is re-writing history, tries to rebel by falling in love. [The broadcast caused controversy, with many viewer complaints and questions in Parliament over its supposed subversive nature and horrific content. With time and hindsight, it was ranked 73rd of "The 100 Greatest British Television Programmes of the 20th Century" in an industry poll by the BFI in 2000.]
