The voice was the late, great Michael Hordern. I can't think of something he was in where he wasn't delightful.

And if you ever want to hear an amazing take on Gandalf equal to Ian McKellen's, he played him in the BBC radio version. (Incidentally, Peter Jackson must have been a fan of that adaptation because Ian Holm, who he cast as Bilbo, played Frodo in the radio version.)

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
