Starting with SpM's post as a premise, an all-Fawlty Towers
Menegroth would be an interesting episode;
Quote:
Thingol - John Cleese as Basil Fawlty, with Menegroth as a kind of Fawlty Towers.
Melian - With John Cleese as Thingol, it has to be Prunella Scales for this role.

Connie Booth (Polly) as Luthien.
Anrew Sachs (Manuel) as Beren (intereaction with Thingol
would be interesting-especially given Beren's northern Beleriand
accent which Thingol can't understand but thinks he can).
And of course Major Gowen as Beleg.
Edit: Although wasn't there one episode where Polly liked
a handsome guest who Basil (of course) detested? The
visitor could be Beren.
