Some of the Tolkien fans on the list might find this interesting - or
at least amusing.

This seems to be the programme JRR later wrote scathingly of to Donald
Swann in my copy of The Letters of JRR Tolkien (Feb 29, 1968), except
that there it's called 'Tolkien in Oxford'.

We get to see both his hands have their full compliment of digits in the 
lower video. Right hand between 4:00 and 5:00, left between 7:00 and 
8:00. Sorry, Lee.
