Thumbs up BBC Radio Play of LotR

Just wanted to let everyone know that the extremely excellent BBC radio play of LotR (it's about 13 hours long all told) is going to be rebroadcast. Read this

I highly recommend it, for what that's worth. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

BBC the t.v Channel?

Well there's no "radio play" section of barrowdowns. Your name fits you. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

I thought it was interesting it mentioned that PJ gave the cast of the movie the radio version to listen to. I love the radio production. It was my first introduction to LoTR, and for me it is the definitive version. Frodo and Sam are perfect, the songs are beautiful, and the Nazgul and the Riders REALLY scared me 20 years ago. I liked the movie, but the radio is fantastic. You can imagine the images for yourself, and it is extremely faithful to the books (only missing some things out, not changing bits.) I am also impressed with how little the radio version has dated - it still sounds fresh and wonderful.

The radio production was my introduction to the Lord of the Rings. Since then I have listened to any drama containing a cast member. A couple of weeks ago I listened to the Woman in White on the basis that it had Philip Voss in the cast and had a good score.

The radio plays are excellent.
I have both The Hobbit and LOTR.
I recorded both from tape, including credits, to MP3.
All 17 hours at 160Kbps take up just under a gig.
It makes it so much easier to listen to that way.
Having to change tapes is such a cumbersome task for a Brandybuck like me.
