I can imagine that it was a very hard job to cover LotR in half an hour. I wouldn't know where to start!

Although I disagreed when he said the Lord of the Rings was whoever held the Ring...I thought Gandalf had corrected Pippin on this point in Rivendell?

That's what I thought. I'm stil not sure why he said that, actually. Anyone care to shed a bit of light?
Did you think that the connection with the countryside was emphasised a bit too much? It seemed to be important to Ray Mears anyway. I wouldn't have chosen to say so much about it, but that's just me. I liked how they had a lot of quotes and readings from the book. It would have been cool to have seen some re-enactments, like in Wuthering Heights, but I'm not sure if that would have worked. I'd have used more images (atrwork, etc) and definatley some shots of the map of Middle Earth.
I thought the Wuthering Heights section was very good. Made me want to read it. Perhaps I will, when I'm done with the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
