What's it got in itsss pocketssses?" The children draw back, whispering and muttering like the people of Hobbiton on seeing Gandalf's fireworks. "When he's Smeagol.", the eyes widen and the lower lip drops fearfully, "it's one thing, but when it's Gollum.", the eyes narrow, and the jaw sets, lips pulled back over the bottom teeth, "it's a little like this.", and suddenly the voice is rasping, otherworldly, and Serkis' whole frame retches and heaves. "Well," he says gently, "it's a little.", and his face contorts, elongating, as his back arches and his head drops towards the children. Yes, what does he sound like? Serkis starts to explain, invoking the creature's two personalities - Smeagol, "the victim", and Gollum, "the survivor." "What does Gollum sound like?" someone asks, and the children stir. Instead, they've got a genial, well presented man, talking to them about acting technique. The children are rapt, but unsatisfied: they were told they would see Gollum.
