Part 2 of 3. This time we're going from Beorn's pad on the edge of Mirkwood aaaall the way to Smaug's cave of unimaginable pain, misery and wealth up in the Lonely Mountain. Get ready for drunken elves, useless fat dwarves and town planners who build fire-breathing-dragon-threatened-towns out of wood.

We're taking on JRR Tolkien's classic (the short one). Get ready to hear about smug wizards, cheery elves, combat-ineffective dwarves, Hertfordshire loving hobbits and, of course, the master of disaster, Gollum. We'll be travelling from Bilbo's dope crib in Hobbinton all the way to the Eagles's classy digs in the mountains as we follow the source material for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

Matt and Dave take on one of the classics. It's Ernest Hemmingway's tale of a gnarled old seaman (don't laugh) who's on a mission to catch the biggest mothercrushing fish of all time. It's got shark attacks, harpooning, talking-to-yourself madness and the hero-worshipping of a wide eyed child. Sounds like it's going to be a cracker..
