Yeah the interviews with Tolkien were amazing but he is hard to understand sometimes. My stepdad attended Oxford and his friend went to a lecture by Tolkien and said that he couldn't understand a word he was saying. My stepdad actually had the chance to serve him tea one day but turned it down to go to a play rehearsal. He said he was like 20 and didn't realize the opportunity that he had missed until later on in life. I couldn't belive he had turned down a chance to have tea with him!!!!
