It was indeed.
Although I find 50s style B&W illustrations pretty scary.
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.

Well it ain't my best likeness, the bowel wasn't polished that morning.

You've obviously never given it a proper unbiased watch.
It's like the Office. I watched them both right from the start before any hype so had no preconceived ideas - and loved them both.
Playwrite extraordinaire.

Sounds a tad patronising to me but I shall take it in good spirit. I have watched it on many occasions and I don't like it. It would be a bloody boring world if we all liked the same thing?

Yeah, but there are constants. Like needing liquids, and oxygen, and Green Wing. 
Anyway, we're going too far off-topic now.

I'm absolutely itching to talk about the last episode (having already watched it on DVD) with you guys, can't wait to hear your thoughts about it all panned out.

The cover is designed to be multi-series.

You should become a DVD designer Anna - I'm very impressed with your covers - they're often much better than the real things.

Agreed!
Not only because on the real one, I believe Tamsin is all small, right at the back?
