Here are some clips of an excellent special recently aired by EWTN, in which I portray J. R. R. Tolkien, and in which author Joseph Pearce describes the Catholic elements of The Lord of the Rings.  Everything I say as Tolkien are word-for-word quotations from his writings.  The special also features artwork by Jef Murray.  As you can see, this was a very well produced program, and is well worth the $10 EWTN is selling the DVDs for.

In the first clip, Tolkien explains the relation between Myth and Truth.

In the second clip, Tolkien explains how he himself is a hobbit.
In the third clip, Joseph explains how Tolkien  understood The Lord of the Rings to be, primarily, about “death and immortality”.
These clips are all copyright EWTN 2014.  The entire show is an hour long and is available from the EWTN Religious Catalogue.
