If so, take some time to watch this BBC 2 John Izzard interview of Professor J.R.R. Tolkien. Here&#8217;s the official synopsis of the March 30th 1968 broadcast:<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>John Izzard meets with JRR Tolkien at his home, walking with him through the Oxford locations that he loves while hearing the author&#8217;s own views about his wildly successful high-fantasy novels. Tolkien shares his love of nature and beer and his admiration for &#8216;trenchermen&#8217; in this genial and affectionate programme. The brief interviews with Oxford students that are dotted throughout reveal the full range of opinions elicited by &#8216;The Lord of the Rings&#8217;, from wild enthusiasm to mild contempt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jump on over to the BBC to view the video.
