French & Saunders question (re: Fellowship of the Rings)
I was wondering if someone could tell if this parody (Fellowship of the Rings) is available on DVD. I saw it awhile back on a plane travelling to the UK and needless to say I thought it was downright hysterical - I'd love to own it.

I remember there being talk about it being released on one of the LotR dvds, but that obviously never happened.
I remember either Peter Jackson or Ian McKellan saying how much they loved it.

I know Ian loved it and tried to get it put on one of the dvds. I thought it was on one of the non-deluxe editions?

It includes as a BONUS FEATURE the Easter Special that ran on Comedy Central as "The French & the Saunders" . . . which puts a hysterical spin on Peter Jackson's "LOTR" movies that even Ian McKellen reportedly suggested Jackson include on the bumper disc for the trilogy. Especially at amazon.com's low price, you can't afford not to own this DVD if you love F&S or LOTR!
