RhoDeo 1412 'Precious' 11

Hello, Furious protesters clashed with police in Madrid yesterday in a huge anti-austerity demonstration. Tens of thousands of people were seen on the streets of the Spanish capital, in a protest against government cuts, and high unemployment. Six columns of protesters - each from a different region of Spain - arrived at the outskirts of the city early Saturday before heading for Colon square, carrying banners bearing the slogan 'Marching for Dignity.' The protest includes trade unions, civil servants and organizations representing people evicted from their homes for not being able to make mortgage payments after losing their jobs. 'Overall, the poorest 10 percent faced income losses at a rate of 14 percent per year, resulting in a fall of more than one third during 2007-2010. This is by far the largest drop in the OECD,' it added. Oh and with all the unemployment around the time is ideal to erode labor rights. Yes banks still reposses homes whilst sitting on thousands of empty places, after all it's important to make the little people pay for trusting the banks... Oh and hardly a peep in the news about these protests on the other hand the result of El Classico ( Real-Barcelona) is global news, it was a good game deservedly won by Barca.


In 1981, the BBC again tackled "The Lord of the Rings", this time in a serial of twenty six 30-minute episodes.  This production was not a condensed version, although it does leave out a number of events. Still, it is about as faithful to the book as one could reasonably expect. The characterizations are excellent and music is very nicely done. 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. .  NJoy

In 1981 the UK radio station BBC Radio 4 broadcast a dramatisation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in 26 half-hour stereo installments. The radio series follows the plot of the original novel (revised 1951 version) very closely, except for the addition of The Tale Bearer, a narrator whose account of the story is often interrupted and embellished by the protagonist Bilbo Baggins in the role of secondary narrator. The 1981 trilogy was adapted for radio by Brian Sibley and Michael Bakewell.  It ws directed by Jane Morgan and Penny Leicester.  It is voiced by some very fine British actors including Ian Holm as Frodo, Michael Hordon as Gandalf and Peter Woodthorpe as Gollum among others.

 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.

 The re-edited version was released on both cassette tape and CD sets which also included the soundtrack album (noticeably taken from a vinyl copy). Incidentally, episode 8 of the series, The Voice of Saruman was labelled as The Voice of Sauron on the cassette & CD box sets.
