PYLEY and other Ringer spies have written to let us know that question two of the GCSE (music exam) was about Fellowship of the Ring: “I just did my GCSE Music Listening exam today, and boy was I pleased to see that question two (worth 10 marks, area of study- film music) was about Fellowship of the Ring, a knife in the dark. So i got to sit and listen to 1:24 mins of heaven four times, while spotting 5 musical features and how they create the atmosphere. I was so pleased I couldn’t stop grinning for the rest of the exam. My teacher thought I was crazy.

Ringer Spy Linuxelf writes: Saw this on the NZ news tonight; if you remember in FOTR a Hobbit (none other than Farmer Maggot) was approached by a Ringwraith, and a dog was barking and walked backwards inside, just before he told them that there where no “Bagginses around here, there up in Hobbiton..” Well that dog ‘Herc’ has been in a multitude of TV adverts and other movies, and sadly passed away yesterday. Herc’s offspring is currently being trained for a part in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. He knew 120 commands! [More] or [More]
