		The novel is divided into three sections: Part One deals with the world of Nineteen Eighty-Four as seen through the eyes of Winston, Part Two deals with Winston's forbidden sexual relationship with Julia, and his eagerness to rebel against the Party, and Part Three deals with Winston's capture and torture by O'Brien.

	Film essay
		Nineteen Eighty-Four by an almost clinical mise-en-scene which portrays Winston and Julia with very little sympathy; the depiction of nudity in the sex scenes, for instance, is unromanticised and focuses on the flaws of their malnourished bodies, so that it becomes difficult to regard them as objects of desire.
		Nineteen Eighty-Four -like fashion, quite unbearable - finale, would have had Truman resign himself to live in his fake world and carry on with his fake life, despite knowing at heart that all time he is being watched, and looked after, by his captors.
		Nineteen Eighty-Four (UK, 1984), the gaze of Big Brother is channelled through ubiquitous television screens which depict the still image of his imposing face and unblinking eyes.

	"British Telefantasy Began in 1963...?" Part 1
		Nineteen months later, war broke out and the BBC Television service was abruptly closed down in the middle of a Mickey Mouse film (it was feared that the single London transmitter - pumping out a then-unique signal - could be used as a beacon to "guide in" German bombers).
		A pre-filmed programme could as easily be retained as disposed, but videotape was routinely recycled for subsequent productions, and in such cases the only hope for a programme's survival was that before wiping,a telerecording was made, usually for overseas sale by BBC Enterprises.
		As the transmission network expanded during the next sixteen years (bar the years when the service was not operating during WWII), the number of TV sets in the country rose to around a million, but massive sales in the run-up to the coronation of our present monarch on 2 June 1953 effectively doubled this number.
