The Spoony Experiment

by Scarlett on August 17, 2008 · View Comments


It’s time to rediscover the old BBC show Knightmare as The Spoony One braves the deadly Dungeons of Deceit. Whether you’ve seen it or not, we’re in for a wild ride.

Oooooh, nasty!

oh my… I wasn't around when this was on in the UK, but I used to get up at, like, half six in the morning to see the repeats on UKTV Gold, I loved it! Then UKTV Gold became merely G.O.L.D., and it stopped showing them :( this really made me laugh so hard, thanks a lot :D

God, this brings back so many Friday after-school memories. Knightmare was awesome. I think everyone in my school applied to be on it at some point.

I think there were two computer games in all – released on the spectrum, atari st, amiga and a few other computers.

Ripping off Impossible Mission… not cool.

Sorry, Spoony, but you’re the one that needs to read the book. Smeagol and Deagol are Stoors. Hobbits only come from Hobbiton, which didn’t even exist when Smeagol took the ring.

HelvecticaNeuieu Stoors are not a seperate race to Hobbits, it’s an ancestral Hobbit sir-name and Breed, there are Stoors in Hobbiton too. Try reading ‘The Hobbit Companion’ which includes lots of Tolkien’s own source-notes and jottings regarding the history of Hobbits as a race.

I might also mention that at no point in the LOTR or the Hobbit does it say that Smeagol is a Stoor, this is only assumed because he likes to swim and lives close to the River – a Stoorish trait. The Likelihood is that he is of an ancient creed closely related to the Stoors. Stoors are defined by being the second most numerous hobbit-breed, broader than most other hobbits and less shy of other races.
