The BBC’s making a little bit of history this winter with its forthcoming The Lord of the Flies series: The four-part drama is the first of its kind. Although a pair of feature film adaptations of William Golding’s iconic 1954 novel exist, the story has never been told on the small screen before now. And if the first trailer’s anything to go by, this take is shaping up to be remarkably (and probably disturbingly) accurate. Even if you haven’t actually read The Lord of the Flies, it’s better than even odds you already know the story. (Heck, you can probably argue that Survivor and all the shows it spawned owe a debt of gratitude to this book.)
