I watched this last night , good fun at first then it descended into horrible human behaviour bringing back memories of childhood and feelings of isolation at work etc for me? Liars , deceit and escalating distrust made me uncomfortable !
I thought about Piggy in Lord of the Flies .

The BBC has published an audio book of their Daniel Defoe series which includes an exceptionally funny version of Treasure Island, with a character who interjects all manner of comical remarks.

If your library has it, it's well worth a listen.

Goodness knows where my brain was when I wrote that.

"Robinson Crusoe" is the Defoe book, not 'Treasure Island".

The audio is still funny though.
