This is the Conversation Forum for Room 101 << People who install their own car alarms Bishara Haj >> Subject: Room 101 origins Posted Aug 4, 2005 by CarlaCA   Posting 1 Hello, I work for Ariel and needed to speak to someone who knows about this posting. I specifically want to know where the footnote to the origins of Room 101 came from -- it's footnote 1. I am doing some research about this topic for the newspaper and I have not been able to verify that Room 101 did indeed have anything to do with Orwell's time at the BBC. Please contact me.

I cannot recall where I originally heard that Room 101 was associated with the BBC (most likely in whichever edition of 1984 I have - unfortunately the book is several hundreds of miles away so I cannot check). However a quick Google manages to turn up http://www.cityofsound.com/blog/bbc/ and http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pr...ries/2004/04_april/01/skyline.shtml and http://www.uktv.co.uk/?uktv=standarditem.index&aID=528096 Perhaps the BBC press office would be the best good place to speak to in the first instance.
