Orwell report on BBC1

Some months ago, Richard Blair did some filming with the “One Show” history unit. It is a series of short pieces about the wills of famous deceased people and Orwell was one of them. The subject in this case was about a travelling bookcase that people once carried with them in the 19th century and one of Orwell’s ancestors had such a book case, which Orwell wished to remain in the family. We can now announce that this short piece of film was shown on BBC 1 between 7 and 7.30 in the evening of 27th October 2015.
