RhoDeo 1413 'Precious' 12

Hello, for most British F1 fans the world is hole once more after their demi-god finally won a race again, it took a far superior engine and a covering team mate to keep that German half-demon at bay, who when his engine is on par again will undoubtely show Hamilton his heels again. That may be many months away so it's essential to score as many points as possible if he wants to be worldchampion again, the over enthousiast fans already drove the odds to close to one, absurd. I for one still give Vettel a 50% chance of retaining his title for a fifth time, it will drive the Hamilton fans to madness should that happen. Meanwhile those that have no knowledge of tinnitus demand the F1 cars should be extremely loud otherwise their simple minds aren't able to project speed ahhh. Seriously all the changes this year haven't resulted in more spectacle yet. It looks that Mercedes who have more than just a racing interest have created a superior engine which probably turn up in some of their customer models in the near future. I wonder if their competitors there (Porsche, Audi, BMW) will reconsider to join F1 again when it becomes such a global engine branding tool as it has become now.


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.
