This series re-imagines George Orwell’s 1984 taking its inspiration from the line in the original book where Winston Smith recalls “perhaps it was the time when the atomic bomb had fallen on Colchester.” Set thirty years previously we follow the events that lead up to that catastrophic event and then the dystopian nightmare that becomes Big Brother.
