Lord of the Flies

The programme titled Piggy is a televised episode that adapts William Golding’s well‑known novel. It presents the story in a format typical of a single‑episode drama, bringing the book’s premise to the screen for viewers. The central narrative follows a collection of schoolboys who become marooned on a deserted island after a mishap. Stripped of adult supervision, the boys must organise themselves and contend with the challenges of survival in an uninhabited environment. Within this precarious setting, the character Piggy comes across an object that proves to be of practical use to the group. His discovery offers a tangible benefit that the boys can employ as they try to cope with their circumstances. This useful find, highlighted in the episode, underscores Piggy’s role in the story and adds a concrete element to the boys’ attempts to manage life on the island. The episode therefore focuses on both the broader struggle for order and the specific contribution that Piggy’s find makes to the group’s efforts.
