re: Bill Bailey as Gollum.

I know Bill is a massive LOTR fan (just listen to him every week on nmtb), but did I hear correctly that he actually went for a part in the movies?

I know that fellow brit comedian Johnny Vegas went for the part of Sam, and that another comedian Slyvestor Mccoy (have you seen him in doctor who!!!???) was pipped to the post for the part of Bilbo by Ian Holm.

Actually, I think the 7th Doctor would have been good for Bombadil, but just imagine Bonnie Langford as Goldberry!!!!!!!
