I'd favour employing the League of Gentlemen guys to enact the Silmarillion as it might have been if it had happened in Royston Vasey.

First up, Tubbs and Edward as Luthien and Beren. Their love would lead to inbred lunacy as evil struck when New Road came to the village. The precious things of the shop would have been carried off and they would have to go on a quest to recover them from that terrifying place, Swansea!

Morgoth I think would have to be portrayed as Papa Lazarou, truly the most terrifying character to ever come out of British comedy. Picture the scene as Finwe has retreated back to Formenos where he hopes to keep those pesky Silmarils safe. He is indoors. Outside the camera is focussed on a dirty finger ringing the door bell. We see a back shot of Finwe going to the door in his housecoat and curlers. He opens the door and we see Morgoth standing there with his macabre grin. Finwe tries to slam the door shut but to no avail. Mprgoth has his foot in the door and forces it open. As the door gives way he utters those words: "Hello Dave. Wanna buy some pegs?" A few minutes later he leaves the house clutching the jewels and the body of Finwe slumps to the floor as Morgoth says: "Oh, you're my wife now..."

Ugh. Chilling.
