For a group of young actors, filming a new BBC drama thousands of miles away in Malaysia was the adventure of a lifetime.
The boys, then aged between five and 12, spent several months away from home shooting Lord of the Flies, which has been adapted for TV for the first time.
Based on an original novel by William Golding, it follows a group of schoolboys stranded on a tropical island after a deadly plane crash.
More than 7,000 boys initially applied to an open casting call by multi-award winning casting director Nina Gold.
The chosen group of 30 boys filmed on mountain tops and in the jungle, mangroves, waterfalls and beaches on a remote island off Langkawi, which they travelled to by speedboat.
