The News Benders
With its themes of extreme surveillance and television as tools to control the masses, Lowden's drama also echoes Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, a television version of which Cartier had previously produced (BBC, tx. 12/12/1954; with Donald Pleasence in a supporting role), extending its themes into the world of 1968. This is made explicit when JG (presumably a sly nod to sci-fi visionary J.G. Ballard) refers to a 'Ministry of Morality', whose name recalls Orwell's ministries of Truth, Love and Plenty. Whereas Orwell's novel depicts an overtly oppressed Britain, Lowden suggests that in 1968 similar control could be effected invisibly via manipulation of the media.
