The first sitcom I ever sent to Radio 4 was about a couple whose kid had been brutally murdered and became C-list celebrities off the back of it. Looking back, it was a terrible idea and didn't stand a cat in hells chance of getting anywhere (although I think Gervais and Merchant must have read it, and stole it for that bit in the Extras Xmas special when the murdered kids mom appears on Celebrity Big Brother),

The ASDA of satire.
"Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you." Which is exactly what happened to Winston Smith. His rebellion was not one that was foolish and too outspoken. He silently tried to defeat the Party for his personal happiness, and in the end it cost him everything he had fought for, and his love for Julia. He had learned to love Big Brother, which was his ultimate fear when trying to live a life of individuality. The Party had defeated him.
