RhoDeo 1315 The Rings 11

Hello, so Vettel didn't win the F1 race today, a wrong decision by his crew and a sloppy tyre chance (wasting 0.9 sec) left him unable to reach the podium. Alonso won deservedly more next week... I bought another external harddisk and now I'm busy copying the content of my USB 2.0 2 terabyte disk to the much faster USB 3.0 new one, at least part of it because it's unbelievably timeconsuming. For some reason windows stops copying when it comes across a thumb or read only file (what idiot thought of that) so you can't walk away most irritating.

These last months a tale with a proven trackrecord in the cinema , yet there's radioplays too and having listened to the first episode it strikes me that stories like these where the imagery is left to the listener and not prepared by others can have a bigger impact and dare I say deliver a much more satisfying experience as after all it's all in the mind ...

In 1981 BBC Radio 4 broadcast a dramatisation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in 26 half-hour stereo instalments. Like the novel on which it is based, The Lord of the Rings is the story of an epic struggle against the Dark Lord Sauron of Mordor, the primary villain of the work, who created a Ruling Ring to control the nineteen Rings of Power, and an alliance of heroes who join forces to save the world from falling under his shadow.

The 26-part series was subsequently edited into 13 hour-long episodes broadcast from 17 July to 9 October 1982, restoring some dialogue originally cut for timing (since each hour-long episode is actually around 57 minutes, as opposed to 54 minutes for two half-hour episodes with overlaps and extra credits removed), rearranging some scenes for dramatic impact and adding linking narration and music cues. Interestingly Ian Holm, who played Frodo Baggins in the radio serial, went on to play Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson's movie trilogy.
