Ministry of Truth: “our film was a load of old toss”

I suppose honesty is a virtue:

I’m getting into exactly the kind of debate that would fill an LSE lecture hall and keep the public watching Rebecca Loos make a pig ejaculate.

The path we chose was the academic’s polar opposite without the farmyard.

So there you have it. The limits of the Ministry of Truth’s ambitions was to make a programme with the news values of the basest example of reality TV anyone could think of, in the name of populism. And even then the best slot they could get was 11pm on BBC2. Wonderful.
