Nineteen Eighty-Four is a 1954 made-for-tv production of the BBC. Nigel Kneale (Quatermass II, Quatermass and the Pit, First Men in the Moon) wrote the script. It is based on George Orwell's novel with the same name, one of several filmed adaptations. This version stars Peter Cushing as Winston. Donald Pleasence is in this one as well as the 1956 film. I watched the John Hurt/Richard Burton version a couple of months ago.
