I can't help but laugh bleakly to myself that after a decade of being told that films are a whole different media and so shouldn't be judged against the book, that it is now suggested that the films shouldn't be judged as films...
But the Hobbit from its origins as a bedtime story is a natural serial with the mini cliffhangers every couple of chapters..and now I am days away from Jackanory little else matters.
