Lord of the Flies tonight BBC

I thought it was an outstanding adaptation of the story and the final episode was very emotional.

I watched it and enjoyed it. I already knew the story as it's on my Kindle. I was pleased that they stuck reasonably well to the book, although I didn't think that Piggy died as they showed in the film.

I recorded this and have only last night managed to see the final episode.
I can remember the film and was concerned about BBC re-doing it that they might have decided to change it all.
Must say think this was an excellent adaptation of this dreadfully tragic story.
All of the young actors were outstanding, but thought the lad playing Ralph was head and shoulders above the others. His sorrow showed itself in his eyes - and he must have great future acting career ahead of him.

My main memory of the film was always the final scene with the rescuers standing in perfect 'whites' saying - 'You ARE British, aren't you?? and the shock of what he was seeing with these lads came over again in this time.

It is such a shocking story and must say gave me a bad night last night. Poor Piggy and Simon......and would any of them have ever really recovered from such a traumatic episode in their lives.

Do wonder if anyone would be brave enough to write a update on Jack and Ralph, the Twins and some of the 'little 'uns', say 20 or thirty years later.
