Your regular reminder that Tolkien’s work and its adaptations are all awful and no one should be citing him in support of anything other than reading and watching literally anything else.

The Ben Elton episode of The Rest Is Entertainment is fascinating on comedy & its process.
(Especially liked the description of Red Brick Elton’s scripts being “tutorialised” to within an inch of their lives by the Oxbridge cast during Blackadder read-throughs).
