I also recall liking this version at the time, though it may not have aged well.

I'll definetely check them out, the good thing about this novel is that the plot is more about immersion, it doesn't need fancy special FX.

The problem with TV series from the early 50s is that everything was shown live at this time, since cheap recording devices didn't exist. Only some material was recorded on 35mm. So the chances are bad to see these versions again .

That's apparently true of the American one, but I just found out the British Peter Cushing version is actually available.

yes, you're right about this. According to wiki a second performance of the play was conserved http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninetee...V_programme%29

Oh yes, if you haven't seen it yet, I can only recommend Terry Gilliam's Brazil - a great movie, inspired by 1984. An awesome interpretation!
