Russia's Channel 5 TV Channel has recently uploaded the 1991 TV programme Khraniteli to Youtube. You can use the Youtube subtitles to auto-generate Russian Subtitles and then produce subtitles in other languages such as English.I can't get this to work, but if you know the book then you can work out what is going on.

I was going to say I'd seen parts of this before, but nope. It's Finland's Hobitit series.

“ the puppet eagle which carries Gandalf to safety looks like a seagull that drank aviation fuel - maybe that's why it flies like that?”

Thanks for sharing, that was a nice interview!

From the New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/10/wor ... -the-ring-russia-5tv.html

Channel Five intends to make the production even more accessible. “In the near future,” it said, the video would get subtitles in English.

I can confirm that the videos now have functional English subtitles.
