Does anyone from England remember the BBC TV adaption of 'the Borrowers'? It was on about five or six years ago, but I loved it. It had Ian Holm as Pod. Well, I think 'the Hobbit' would be good as similar type of series. Then it could be much longer and more detailed, and it could be a very family orientated show, because for people who are used to the action packed LotR trilogy, the Hobbit may be a slight anti-climax, because it's more of a childrens story and has less action (except for the battle at the end, although Bilbo passes out for most of that). But I can remember watching 'the Borrowers' with my brothers and parents, and it would be great to be able to do the same thing with 'the Hobbit'. But, of course, a movie would be just as great. I think that 'the Hobbit' would be harder to screw up that LotR and, if done well, it could be a brilliant film. But imagine all those prosthetics! Poor Dwarves.
