I've heard the expression "It's a rum do." My dad has said it a few times. As for the BBC dramatisation, in the same scene someone (Daddy Twofoot, possibly) does say "Bag End is a queer place, and its folk are queerer," and I think someone else uses the word too, so perhaps "rum folk" was just to avoid using the same expression too many times within one scene.
