SRS........it did seem like such an odd coincidence . I'd just come off here and switched on to Master Mind ( which I wouldn't normally do ) to here the words "specialist subject Tolkien "......lol.

The lady looked rather stereotypical ( no offence to such folk ) , a college lecturer , bit frumpy etc.............but I was so pleased she won , I even clapped my hands..........lol

On the subject of Tolkien....did anyone happen to see Master Mind tonight ? I'm SO happy that woman won : ) Her specialist subject was the Life and works of Tolkien .

oooh the one I was looking at it looked as though it was in response to a film with that title.....may just find some time to watch that too.

I have heard of this but not investigated yet - will have a look later:)

Has anyone else seen The Hunt for Gollum that the lovely Jax recommended me?

Ummm........not quite sure to what you think of this really . I'll have to sit and watch the movie first . I've read the article and have to say " hats off " to the woman for having the drive and ambition to tackle the project .

There are many stories intertwined within the Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion which could be displayed as films , as long as they are created out of love of Tolkien and not just for the money , then I wish her every success .
