Of course, tried and true TORN members would know these. <\/p>\n<p>Rumour  1 Can you get arrested for dressing like a hobbit in Khazakstan? (yes)<br \/>Rumour 2 Did the Beatles want to make a film verions of LOTR? (yes)<br \/>Rumour 3 Was Jerry Springer initially cast as Frodo Baggins? (NO!!)<\/p>\n<p>Liv said she&#8217;d heard a rumour about the Hobbits and Khazakstan.(Was it Khazakstan?)  Orlando knew the other rumour about the Beatles. And the Jerry Springer casting was greeted with derision.<\/p>\n<p>The next door was called &#8216;Family Tree&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The question was &#8216;When is Frodo Baggins birthday?&#8217; Orlando made a guess with 24th August. Wrong, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Then Ed dropped a  script spoiler, he said.&#8217;When Arwen says to Frodo, &#8216;Let me take you to my father for safety&#8217; it&#8217;s a pity she just doesn&#8217;t say, &#8216;Let me take you to my father&#8217; Liv laughed and burst into a spontaneous burts of Steven Tyler-esque singing. Very cool.<\/p>\n<p>Last question was &#8216;What&#8217;s up the wizard&#8217;s sleeve?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Who was born in Middlesborough, hates cauliflower cheese and has a catchphrase, &#8216;You&#8217;ll like this, but not a lot.&#8217; &#8216;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Paul Daniels&#8217;, shouted Orlando. He  got a prize out of a sack, it looked like a plastic gnome. Liv protested that the last question was a Brit question, which was true, so she got a gnome too.<\/p>\n<p>Weird.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and Christopher Lee is expected to be on the show later this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aelinwen writes: Another spot on Uk&#8217;s &#8216;The Big Breakfast&#8217; this morning featured a somewhat daffy game\/interview by Ed&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[138],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-old-special-reports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-72i","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27050"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27050\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
