BBC Four Presents: George Orwell - A Life in Pictures


Stumbling around YouTube last week and discovered this biopic. Interesting, maybe a bit cheesy in bits, but I watched the whole thing. A narrator guides us through Orwell's productive years, an actor portrays the man himself and is more or less skillfully inserted into newsreel footage, still pictures, and "interviews" from the times in which he lived. If you can accept that premise, and are a fan, you should enjoy this approximately 2hr long show, broken up into five minute segments on YouTube.

Part A is here, look for each successive bit in the sidebar.
