The Worlds Of Fantasy - BBC4 Series - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Did anyone else watch this? I recorded it so i could watch Torchwood and then watched it afterwards - I thought it was good, if rushed! It was fascinating to hear a comparison of Tolkien and Peake though I completely disagreed with what that woman said about how they would not have liked each other's work.

They certainly weren't short of people to comment, including Tom Shippey and Colin Duriez. And my childhood fave, Toyah!

They also included a lot of material of Tolkien talking, much of it taken from some of the older BBC documentaries which a lot of people will not have been lucky enough to see.

It's now been made available to watch online at BBC iPlayer. For the next six days only!

What did you think?
