A collection of misc. interviews with the good Professor on a variety of subjects. Watching him write and speak the Elvish language in one of them, is pretty darn cool.

All in all, a good video! 
I liked the scenes by the fireplace, the appreciation of a good beer, having a fountain pen on hand for some writing… the poignant pause when remembering his property had been destroyed in the war and he had to relocate because of it. I liked seeing the houses (cottages) around the 20:50 mark. For some reason it made me think of all my oldest friends now scattered about the country and how we’re no longer able to meet on a whim for a meal or enjoy company in face-to-face conversations. I appreciate the professor’s fondness for trees as it is one I share. Seeing the leafless trees, what I call sleeping, in the video reminded me of the trees here in NE. I anticipate 5-6 more weeks before it will be consistently warm enough for the trees to begin waking.

Here is an interview with Christopher, the semblance to his Father is undeniable; I really enjoyed listening to this. It's a shame he's no longer around to keep the works from becoming sullied. The estate, now, does not have or take the same care.

There's only 20 years left on the UK copyright anyway. After that it will be open season; for better or for worse.
