Saruman Signing

Get your diary out now and put 6 August 2002 in it. Have you done that? Good, because Saruman himself is coming to London and we hear it's going to be quite a scrum to meet him. In layman's terms, that means Christopher Lee, who plays the wizard Saruman in Lord of the Rings, will be signing copies of The Lord of the Rings DVD at London's premier comic store The Forbidden Planet that day. 'It's first come, first served, unfortunately,' an employee told Empire Online today about the signing, which promises to bring hordes of Rings fans to the relatively tiny shop in central London. 'He's only here for two hours, so it's going to be a little pushed.' If you fancy your chances, get down to the shop on London's New Oxford Street next Tuesday between 5pm and 7pm to proffer your copy of the DVD to Sauron's minion.
