The first part of Peter Jackson's adaptation of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit - officially titled The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - comes out in cinemas on December 14.

Because of this, Lord Of The Rings fans are giddy at the prospect of seeing The Shire once more, as well as Gollum, Gandalf and many, many more.

But though we understand and respect such fandom, we have to wonder... is dressing up as a wizard and holding up traffic really the right thing to do, no matter how much you love the epic fantasy saga?

Hell, what are we saying - we love it. How could you not when it's obviously just some twenty-something in a dressing gown, pootling down a country road on a longboard? That, ladies and gentlemen, is the definition of comedy. Kind of.

It reminds us of another awesome Hobbit-loving mickey taker, Peeder Jigson - and no, we haven't spelt his name wrong...

Chris Simpson: Hurray... Here Comes The Hobbit

'Meet Bilbo!' this month's edition of Empire film magazine suggests. Given The Hobbit is still 18 months away from a release date, this seems an unnecessary sop to 'Tolkies' (fans of Tolkien) and indeed to Warner Brothers, the film's backers. But, in case you had forgotten, we are talking about a "long-awaited $500 million, two-film prequel to The Lord of the Rings, as filmed in real 3D"....and the really good news is that Martin Freeman is on board this time, joining Ian McKellen, Bernard Hill,Elijah Wood, Cate Blanchett and all the other lustrous thespians who have sold their souls to the tedious Tolkie super franchise.

An old video, an old 'Skateboard' and a stick.
The dressing gown was fairly new!
