Beyond the MovieThe Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Premieres Friday, December 19, at 8 p.m. ET/9 p.m. PT
We may not have elves, orcs or hobbits, but find out how the imaginary land of Middle-earth is surprisingly much like our world. Join John Rhys-Davies ("Gimli" in the Lord of the Rings trilogy) for a fantastic journey inside the mind of J.R.R. Tolkien, and see how heroes and villains inspired a literary genius.
8 p.m. Friday : December 19, 2003 Also airs: Saturday, Dec 20, 12 a.m. Saturday, Jan 31, 3 p.m.
But it was a new one.
It is not about culture this time (like the first program) but about history: discussing parallels with Lewis and Clark, with Teddy Roosevelt, etc.
A bit cerebral, but for history lovers...and lovers of western civilization...
