Hey - Early This Morning (6am TV3 1 hour ago) I saw the 5 a.m. BBC News - and guess who appeared in all his elvish glory? Yep, none other than TV3's very own Tamati(weathercaster) - reading the weather in Elvish. The newscaster introduced the item by saying "Hobbitmania swept New Zealand yesterday as its capital, Wellington, premiered the first film in Sir Peter Jackson's trilogy." (And the 2.40a.m. Impact Asia programme also carried a 3-minute or so coverage - albeit without Tamati.) But you registered, Tamati!

Best of elvish!
