Episode Description from the Publisher

Stig of the Dump is a 1963 children’s novel by Clive King which spawned at least two TV adaptations; today we’re reviewing the first, from 1981. It’s a very gentle, very British show in which a neglected child befriends a caveman in a garbage dump and everyone else gaslights him for 10 episodes.LinksWatch Stig of the Dump (1981) on YouTubeListen to the audiobook of Stig of the Dump on YouTubeSherbetConkersLarderPrize-Giving DayStar CarrThe Tucson Garbage ProjectWierer et al.
