Lord Of The Rings
A series of three films based on the popular books by J.R.R Tolkien. Ricky reviewed the first one in his cheeky film review prior to having seen it and gave it a 9/10.
Ricky and Steve showed repeated bafflement over their popularity during the Xfm years, amazed at how nerd culture became cool.
Rick, I just thought of a joke. What's the similarity between Lord of the Rings and this show? They're both rubbish. ~ Steve Merchant
