Year of the Sex Olympics

The Year of the Sex Olympics is a BBC television play written by Nigel Kneale in 1968, now widely regarded as predicting the rise of reality television. The play was produced in colour - although only a black and white copy now exists - for BBC2's Theatre 625 strand.

Kneale had 14 years earlier adapted George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four as a classic BBC broadcast and the play reflects much of Kneale's assimilation of Orwell's concern about the power of the media and Kneale's experience of the evolving media industry.
