Cerys wrote in about a BBC programme called “The Top 100 Great Britons: “Well, J.R.R Tolkien has been voted in at number 92! It’s a great achievement, considering the poll is littered with the likes of David Beckham (I’m not a fan) and J.K Rowling (nor of her). She came in at number 83, which is stupid considering she wouldn’t even be in there if Tolkien had never existed! Oh well, at least he wasn’t beaten by any of the Spice Girls!!!”
Ringer Spy Jarman saw these games at his local WH Smith. Looks like the TTT chess set is different from the FOTR one. [More]
“In my local WH Smiths in the U.K. they have the new Two Towers chess set. It’s made by the same people who did the FOTR one just released in the US, only now done in an antique marble effect rather than the bronze and silver FOTR one. They’ve replaced three of the pieces (don’t know which ones), with a warg rider, wormtonge, and Treebeard. It is priced at £29.99. WH Smiths also had the new TTT Risk game also priced at £29.99.”
