Is 1984 Still The Future?
Have A Laugh On Us
Watch George Orwell’s chilling vision of the future unfold in this rare 1954 BBC TV adaptation of 1984.
Presented in a minimalist theatrical style, this production stars Peter Cushing as Winston Smith and delves into a world of surveillance, thoughtcrime, and the crushing grip of totalitarianism. The haunting realism makes it all the more relevant today.
Why You Should Watch

- Relevant themes of media, control, censorship, and resistance
- Stark visuals and memorable performances
Irony in the Age of Surveillance
With today’s digital echo chambers, Big Tech, and mass data harvesting, Orwell’s tale has never felt more timely. The post title “Have A Laugh On Us” serves as a wry nod to the absurdity of what we now normalize — from smart speakers monitoring conversations to algorithms shaping reality.
