BBC Rerunning Radio Lord of the Rings

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the capture-the-streams-baby dept.

Motor writes "I'm not sure if I'm doing the BBC website a favour by mentioning this, but BBC Radio 4 is, from Saturday the 5th of January, running their excellent radio serialisation of The Lord of the Rings in thirteen, one hour weekly episodes. I'm not sure how much load the streaming system can handle though :)" Make a note of it, and save 'em. The LotR radio show is very acclaimed.

  1. i just saw the movie yesterday..... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    could anyone explain the significance of the giant flaming pussy that kept appearing? i thought they did a good job in creating a whole new world but i hate elijah wood. i just cant trust a hero with curly hair like that (exception: superman). and elijah wood is absolutley the last person i would have cast for that role. i thought the colors were kind of drab and washed out compared to other movies like cthd and ep1. i never read the book but i wasnt aware that the hobbits were supposed to be some kind of irish race only more leprechanish. im looking forward to the new star wars a lot more than the new lotr. thats for dang sure.

    yeah, well, the radio production is total and utter crap - a couple of 'thespian' sounding pratts. No balls at all.
