In 1984 everyone did love Big Brother.
That was (kind of) the point.

Inspired by Scottidog by any chance?

You plagiarizer! im reporting you to the CCP!

I was going to re-do it myself, but didn't get round to it.

I've been doing 1984 knock offs for donkeys years. Mate there isn't a sketch written I haven't done an unfunny earlier version of.

And people pretended to love Big Brother until they were broken.

Laughing out loud

Shouldn't the bimbo be called Julie or whatever her name was in the novel?

Fair enough. not bad, he should have been wrecking the tasks though!..

Julia? Hmm that's a diferent sketch with room 101 being the diary room where you shaft your chums?
That's a good idea but like I say it's a diferent sketch.

In this case I wanted to show how disposable and anonymous the contestants were. I try to make my stage directions cleverer than the sketches themselves, God only knows why.
