Uncle Deadly as Pazuzu.

He's not playing Pazuzu.

He is Pazuzu.

Okay.

The answer has to be Lord of the Rings, says Rob, the lone goldsmith.

Uh, insane, a little borderline sacrilegious, probably, but think about it for more than two seconds and it swims into focus and all singing, all dancing cast of Muppetry, dwarves, elves, and so on.

And wasn't there the threat of actually doing a puppet version of the story at one point?

In any case, the Jackson trilogy is certainly untouchable.

Um, and it's unlikely the story will be revisited cinematically anytime soon.

Although, um, I think as we heard from Leo Woodall last week, he's off down under to do some of this.

Unless I would argue it's Kermit on his way to Mordor, Banjo and all, Ian McKellen obviously retains his original role.

Um...

Dear Bigger and Boat, regarding the Muppet game, Jaws with Kermit as Chief Brody, Gonzo as Matt Hooper, Oscar the Grouch as Quint, and featuring Animal as the shark.

And I'm retaining Peter Benchley as the reporter because he's respect.

He's Don Parry.

That's good.

And Chris from Bristol, in reference to the discussion of the game of Muppets in film in last week's show, there was a reference to Muppets in Die Hard.

Delighted to say that a show, Muppets Die Hard, exists and was played at the Wardrobe Theatre in Bristol back in 2014.

I can remember heading upstairs to the White Bear Pub into the Wardrobe Theatre, which was unsurprisingly very small, and watching two hours of one of the best shows I have ever seen from memory...

Kermit was the director, Miss Piggy was Holly McLean, and Gonzo was Ellis.
