unfortunately you were drinking a lot of champagne at the time you got off the plane drunk from your birthday and you just carried on throughout the entire trailer didn't you until today pippin tuck why is peregrine took called pippin it's just a nickname it's just peregrine that's it something something something something pippin why is gandra why is gandalf mean to pippin probably down to jealousy because of all the magical things that pippin does during the adventure and he is the real hero probably that he gets quite annoyed at pippin but he does end up liking pippin by the end is pippin what the real hero now they've got to it yes does pippin tuck really sing all the hobbits sing in the books and pippin as a character also sings quite famously the bath song which is i've just put two and two together i love being in the bath more than probably anywhere else in the world and pippin sings the bath song pippin took pippin took personality pippin took personality and made it his own give us a board come on what pippin and mary what happens to pippin and mary after lord of the rings well after the uh films mary and pippin made their way back to the shire which has kind of been sacked by sarah mann and some bad people and they get the shire back for the hobbits and then they spend a little bit of time in the shire and become kind of important people in the shire stewards of certain lands of the shire and they go and travel they go back to the lands of gondor and rohan and spend some time with pharaoh and then also king aragorn at that point until they both die what accent do mary and pippen have marrying people have slightly different accents mary has an accent from the west country of england which is kind of cornish devon like a gentle farmer type accent and then pippin's tattoo comes from a different area of the shire tuckburra has a slightly more scottish troll a sort of northern scottish still trying to keep it in the rural sort of site what do mary and pippin drink beer more than anything else that's their drink of choice but they're also partial to ent draft which makes them the tallest hobbits in the history of the shire very very occasional margarita if they find himself by the beach what is the conspiracy planned by pippin mary and sam i have no idea dan pippin and mary oh mary and pippin which is which ah good question in the movie pippin wears a scarf mary wears a yellow waistcoat or an america vest did mary and pippin get married pippin marries someday called diamond of long cleave and they have lots of lots of kids one of them called faramir who marries saturn wise gamjee's daughter look at my tokian knowledge does mary ever get married bachelor is frodo related to mary and pippin he is he is their cousin mary and pippen are cousins and also frodo is their cousin so yes they're all related i think frodo is mary's cousin once removed by marriage not not a first cousin oh none of them are first cousins so once removed by men so just general cousins general cousin copy that what is mary and pippin relationship they have a lovely relationship they like each other and they just like to have some fun steal some fruit some vegetables from farmer maggots farm steal fireworks and set them off and just have a nice time really and then they get caught up in a big adventure and then they become the real heroes throw away what do hobbits eat hobbits offense of bacon mushrooms tomatoes vegetables salted pork bread ham chicken cheese biscuits perfect what do hobbits smoke hobbit smoke pipeweed now it's quite vague in the lord the rings book professor tolkien doesn't necessarily talk about what pipeweed is but it is also commonly known that the best pipeweed possibly in middle earth is from the shire and the hobbits revere it so you've got stuff like oh toby south farvin that's the best the good there's the good pipe see one of the hobbits was say for instance running the sprints in the olympics would they be allowed to smoke so far thing before that no they'd be bend isn't that a shame what is the home of the hobbits the hobbits come from an area of middle earth called the shire relatively big there are different areas of the shire my character marry a doc brandy buck or mary not mary as in you know mary steen virgin or mary jesus's mom but mary has a merry christmas mary comes from buckland near the brandywine bridge and the brandywine river well done thank you i just want to try and get that albatross off my neck lots of people in the united states call me mary no no it's mary as in merry christmas what do hobbits look like they don't wear shoes cleanly shaven they don't tend to care too much about their clothes although mary the character that i play is a little bit of a dandy so he's kind of well-dressed for arbit what the hobbits do in lord of the rings sam and frodo walk the ring to the very fires of mordor to destroy whilst mary and pippin create incredible distractions for the enemy because the enemy knows that they are looking for a halfling or a hobbit so gandalf makes sure that pippin is seen by sauron and then takes him to different parts of the world so that maybe the enemies i will get taken over there then pippin saves the life of different people and ultimately saves most of the people in gondor with your actions lighting the beacons and trying to keep farmer alive and at the same time mary is on the fields of battle with the rohan army stabbing the witch king in the knee bringing him down to his knees so that eowyn can stab him in the face and kill him so the hobbits do a lot and as you can see by the end of the movie where aragon says my friends you bow to no one we are the real heroes of the trilogy we also smoke a lot of south farthing good point i think we answered the questions quite well don't you dom yes i think we were absolutely fantastic i very much enjoyed revealing some of these questions about us with me dom monahan and him billy boyd
