A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Loved the look of it and the voice. Didn't get to watch much of it growing up. 😕
The voice was the late, great Michael Hordern. I can't think of something he was in where he wasn't delightful.
And if you ever want to hear an amazing take on Gandalf equal to Ian McKellen's, he played him in the BBC radio version. (Incidentally, Peter Jackson must have been a fan of that adaptation because Ian Holm, who he cast as Bilbo, played Frodo in the radio version.)
