Publisher's Summary

The second instalment of Tolkien's epic tale, adapted from the original BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation. Having fled the Shire in their escape from Sauron's Dark Riders, Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring have journeyed to Rivendell and beyond. Their mission is to reach the Mountain of Fire in Mordor, where the Ruling Ring can be destroyed, but already their campaign is in jeopardy. Gandalf has fallen into an abyss, and Boromir has fatally succumbed to the power of the Ring. The others are besieged by an army of orcs - save for Frodo and Sam, whose journey down the River Anduin is being watched by a dark and shadowy figure.... 

Widely regarded as a broadcasting classic, the BBC Radio dramatisation of 'The Lord of the Rings' stars Ian Holm, Michael Hordern, Robert Stephens, John Le Mesurier and Peter Woodthorpe.

Classic dramatisation marred by an update to match the film

This is a classic and great dramatisation, with original foly (analogue hand-made studio sound effects) and great performances. However, to match the films' linking intros they have added poorly written and unnecessary linking chapters at the start of books 2 and 3. I wish they would re-release this version without those linking chapters. Otherwise it's great.

Utter Garbage

I'd always heard that the BBC radio play was the best adaption of Lord of the Rings.

To say that that is untrue would be a grave understatement.

Classic tale

A classic epic which has stood the test of time. Love this production, listened to it on the radio when I was a kid
