Interview with Bofur - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

James Nesbitt is well known in the UK - perhaps primarily for "Cold Feet".

Choked on wine to see the Divine Richard referred to as Dickie Armitage...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/f...interview.html

Nothing about the book, I see. He displays no knowledge of the source work. A pity.

And this caught my eye:

Quote:

Air New Zealand is running a big advertisement across its planes with a picture of Bilbo Baggins and us nine dwarves with a tag underneath saying ‘Air New Zealand, the airline of Middle-earth’.

Nine dwarves? I guess they've left out the less photogenic?

At least Dickie has...there was an interview which suggested even HoME.

As for the nine Dwarves... maybe they couldn't afford the excess baggage on Bombur.. and there must be at least four who never speak in the book

Apparently, they all need and English class too!

(not being snobbish! I swear!)

Sorry MCR, could you say what you are referring to? I am a bit confused.
