**Voice over: This maiar is Sauron, the Dark Lord of Middle Earth. In a moment he will pour his essence into the One Ring and as a consequence he will die wearing it.
(Sauron picks the Ring up and runs laughing into battle, Isildur lobs his finger off and Sauron dies. Isildur put on the ring, runs off and is killed by orcs).
Voice over: It was clear that this Ring was lethal. No one could wear it and live.
Reporter: We are coming to you live from Moria were tragedy has struck the Fellowship. Sudden, violent tragedy. With me is wizard Gandalf the Grey who will be attempting to escape the Balrog. Gandalf?
Gandalf: I will attempt to guide Frodo, the Ringbearer out of Moria and destroy the ring. I will be assisted in battle by Legolas and Gimli, three other hobbits and the men Aragorn and Boromir.
(The Fellowships moans laments as Gandalf falls in Moria)
Reporter: Such an epic display of bravery that will not be easily forgotten.
Voice over (footage of wraiths riding out of Minas Morgul): It was not long before the disembodied eye of Sauron took interest in retreaving his One ring. Ringwraiths sent out to get it were routed at the Ford outside Rivendell. (footage of wraith’s swept away by the white horses)
Glorfindel (at the Ford): Fantastic!
Saruman (walking through the gardens of Isengarde): All through that winter and the next, we had wraiths and orcs working around the clock to try to get the One Ring. At one point we thought we had it, we realised later we didn’t. Finally, by the time the ring had reached the borders of Mordor, we had an army big enough to take on the world of Men.
Voice over: This army was first tested fully at the seige of Helms Deep.
(scenes of fighting)
Voice over: Theoden’s causalties were appaulling. (scenes of badly maimed men of Rohan). But the victory was still there’s. Meanwhile.
Gollum: Where isss the Preciousss?
Frodo: I’m sorry, all I give you is some elvish rope 'round your neck and some lembas.
Gollum: We has waysesss, yessss, we doessss precioussss, waysesss to make hobbitssesss give it to ussss.
Frodo: I’m immune to physical pain.
Gollum: Aw… gollum gollum mastersss’s no fun! We will have to find other wayses.
(Shelob appears and bites Frodo. Sam grabs the ring and runs off)
Gollum: Thatsss not funny, preciousss!
Voice over: Soon the men of Middle Earth began work on their own army, one that they hoped would rival the hordes of Mordor and Isengarde.
Aragorn: Next.
Hopeful: Hello. I’d like to fight for Middle Earth even though I’m dead. I’m not very good with a sword but I’m good as scaring people.
Aragorn: We’ll let you know.
Voice over: Finally, by the time of the seige of Minas Tirith, the men had their own army which they hoped would hold back the army of Mordor.
(scenes of fighting)
Voice over: Finally, at te end of the 3rd age, peace broke out. Ring making was band at a special council at the house of Elrond and the Ring was laid to rest here, in the fires of Mount Doom, never to be worn again. **
