Earlier this month, as announced on this site, the hour-long Tolkien programme, Tolkien’s ‘Lord of the Rings:’ A Catholic Worldview, was aired on EWTN. Here’s a link to a brief review of the show on the Hollywood Jesus website: “Christian Parallels in Middle-earth.”

I’m pleased to say that the programme was such a success that we’ve been given the go-ahead for two more hour-long Tolkien programs, one on other Christian elements in The Lord of the Rings and the other on The Hobbit. Since, however, these will not be filmed until next year, I suspect it will be 2013 before they are aired.
