Merry. The Richard Hammond of The Shire...

It is very reassuring to see that Downers of the female persuasion have finally and truly disabused themselves of that old odd notion once prominent amongst the better half that a good woman could marry a scoundrel and reform him.

Grima? Who'd want to marry a civil servant?

Saruman. Well, I think he'd be interesting, if not attractive. My personal image of him is rather like Ming The Merciless, not the Chris Lee portrayal, despite this being the bees' knees for me as a Chris Lee fan...At least he is nifty at making jewellery...

Shagrat? Looking at what the unflattering words in his name suggests, any girl of his wouldn't be much of a looker...
