C S Lewis: Beyond Narnia, A short film exploring Lewis's personal story, starring Anton Rodgers and Diane Venora will air on BBC 2 from 9-9:55 pm. Unlike the full length feature Shadowlands, this short biopic is said to include the character of Tolkien, both as a younger and an older man. This should be of interest to Tolkien and Lewis readers.
