An Awfully Big Adventure: J.R.R. Tolkien

In February 1998, a fifty-minute episode of BBC Two's writer-focused TV series An Awfully Big Adventure, Season One, covered J.R.R. Tolkien and his fantasy writings. It was aired shortly following the completion of The History of Middle-earth.
Directed by Julian Birkett and narrated by Juliet Aubrey and Rob Inglis, it features commentary by Christopher Tolkien, biographer Humphrey Carpenter, Tolkien scholars Tom Shippey, Verlyn Flieger, and Wayne G. Hammond, and illustrator Alan Lee, as well as footage of Tolkien himself. Relations between The Beatles and the popularity of The Lord of the Rings is addressed, as is Middle-earth's inspiration on fantasy games such as Dungeons & Dragons.
