I'm really looking forward to this as I studied the text at school.
I think I am going to re read the book before watching it.
Anyone else?

I've never read the book - I think my class read Animal Farm - so I am interested in watching this.

There’s a Telly Addicts board here on MN specially for TV programmes.
If you reply with @MNHQ they should move your thread there.

Have you ever heard of ‘the real’ lord of the flies situation where a group of boys were ship wrecked on an island? My children are sick of me saying this any time lord of the flies comes up so I’m inflicting it on you!

Meant to add - how relevant are the themes in today's society?
It's a chilling thought.

Thanks @NervousNelleigh for that link.
I will definitely read that later.

That's lovely. I won't be watching the William Golding version.
