But the real star of the show this time is Martin Freeman as the younger Bilbo, known to be
a bit of a risk taker in his younger years but now more interested in his pantry and doilies.
He is not a
risk -
taker because he had complete confidence in his abilities and financial wherewithal to get the job done in a scientific manner, unlike the vast majority
of registrants who spin a cheap line, throw it out there over and over again and hope that enough potentials will
bite, and that thereafter enough
of those will sell, allowing them to continue on with that never - ending old - school behaviour pattern
of spin, spin, spin.
