Monty Python's "There and Back Again" - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Not wishing to demean the online productions of Monty Python's Hobbit, LotR, et al, but it seems to me they are only aping Python movie sequences and placing them wholesale into Tolkien's plot. Not a very creative exercise. Rather than real meat, we are left with Spam. Spam, Spam and more Spam.

I still like Thenamir's idea and would be glad to continue the concept.

A pythonesque scripting of the Hobbit does not require direct lifts from previous material...after all, it's only a model.
