At least Gandalf's power saved the other!

Pfft. Everyone knows it's the capital of Iceland.

Unleash your inner Sam Gamgee with these "Shire-worthy Recipes".

A very appropriate association with the Dark Lord.
Indeed, the evil seed fomented by him and his master continues to flourish.

For those who can get BBC I player "Sleuths, Spies and Sorcerers - Andrew Marr's Paperback Heroes" may be worth a look. Episode 2 on fantasy fiction features Tolkien.. nothing new perhaps but some nice archive footage and an amusing 90 second summary of the features of the genre illustrated by the Hobbit films and the wry comment that Bilbo may be wondering how they stretched such a short novel over so long a film.

Did make the point that all the details had to be right in fantasy because you were already suspending so much disbelief.

The first episode was also good if you happen to share my interest in detective fiction.
