Notes

  1. Tolkien was asked, "presumably you voted for Mr [?]Jennings?"
    "What?", replied Tolkien (he didn't hear the question).
    "Presumably you voted for Mr Jennings?"
    "I did. [inaudible]".
    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)
