Here's my take on the Silmarillion as a comedy epic of epic proportions in an epic Epic! ... Its epic-tastic.
Beren = Roan Atkinson (Blackadder, Mr Bean, you know him!)
Luthien = Dawn French.
Sauron = Bob Mortimer
Melkor = Vic Reeves
What? It would be funny! Especially if there was a scene in the Void after the fall o Sauron...
Melko: So... erm... I see you got into the whole ring-making thing again.
Sauro: I told you not to mention that.
Melko: Calm down!
Sauro: You wouldn’t let it lie, would you? You just couldn’t let it lie!
MElko: I would’ve let it lie!
Sauro: But you didn't let it lie!
Melko: I would’ve let it lie if you'd let me let it lie!
Sauro: But you didn't let it Lie!
