Iain writes: Last night on BBC2 Newsnight programme (weekly news and arts programme on BBC's 2nd terrestrial channel) there was a 6 minute piece on Tolkien's The Children of Hurin. Newsnight is only 50 minutes in length, so this was a significant percentage of the entire programme. There were interviews with Adam Tolkien (assistant editor on the book), Alan Lee plus a previously unbroadcasted interview with JRRT himself from 1968. [More]
