Notes
- ↑ Tolkien was asked, "presumably you voted for Mr [?]Jennings?"
"What?", replied Tolkien (he didn't hear the question).
The video then cuts away to black. Presumably this was just a way of introducing the main item. Tolkien is mentioned again and associated with Basil Blackwell as supporting Mr Jennings. (The Tolkien Society Facebook group, accessed 14 December 2013)
"Presumably you voted for Mr Jennings?"
"I did. [inaudible]".
