Always writes: Viggo is going to be a guest on the Mark & Brian radio show today. Mark and Brian are based on Los Angeles’ 95.5 KLOS but syndicate to other areas as well. They always post pictures on their web sites of guest visits, so over the weekend there will probably be pictures of Viggo in the studio. [markandbrian.com]

SW writes: I recently bought Starburst Magazine (issue 62) in London because it was a special edition on LOTR. There were loads of great interviews, but whilst I was reading an interview with Andrew Leslie, this question appeared about Saruman, and the answer that followed: Q: You shot two versions of Saruman’s death scene?

Saruman gets pushed off the top of Isengard by Grima Wormtongue, and we did film a scene where Christopher Lee is impaled, but I don’t know what Peter is going to do [for the Extended DVD version], because there’s another option, to have him vaporize on the way down.
