I’ve always heard it was with John that Jonesy locked horns the most, given they were the most polar opposites in their approach to comedy. Though John has always denied it, people still speculate that Manuel from “Fawlty Towers” was based on Terry.

Nice hacky hit piece on Lucas. I’ll still take his imagination over anyone currently working for Lucasfilm.  : P

I don’t get why people dwell on the nuked fridge so much. Yeah, it was a ridiculously elaborate setup for an otherwise very minor gag, but come on.

It's still way better than either of the other 2 animated Tolkien adaptations. : P
