Transmission


In 1941 George Orwell obtained "war work" when he was taken on full time by the BBC's Eastern Service.  There is no hard evidence but it is alleged Orwell had designs on a secretary at the BBC and was unfaithful to his wife Eileen.

Interesting fact:  110 light-years away from earth — the edge of a radio ‘sphere’ which contains many star systems  — our very first radio broadcasts are beginning to arrive.
