Whether you like or loathe elves and talking lions, JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis each created compelling fictional worlds whose influence has become global.

CS Lewis was an academic and broadcaster whose prolific publication of literary criticism, novels, Christian apologia and the Narnia books for children brought him an international reputation in his lifetime.

By the time of his death in 1973, JRR Tolkien's 'The Lord of The Rings' and 'The Hobbit', (along with other published stories and poems which drew upon the mythology of Middle Earth), had already made him a cult figure around the world.

Starring Haydn Gwynne, Tom Goodman-Hill and Pip Torrens.

Robin Brooks' drama is a playful tribute to the long friendship between the two men, and the way it shaped their achievements.
