About this listen
With its first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on March 8th, 1981, this dramatised tale of Middle Earth became an instant global classic. It boasts a truly outstanding cast including Ian Holm (as Frodo), Sir Michael Hordern (as Gandalf), Robert Stephens (as Aragorn), Bill Nighy (as Sam Gamgee) and John Le Mesurier (as Bilbo). Brian Sibley's famous adaptation has been divided into three corresponding parts, with newly recorded beginning and end narration by Ian Holm, who now stars as Bilbo in the feature films based on The Lord of the Rings. Part One, The Fellowship of the Ring, introduces us to Frodo Baggins. With his uncle Bilbo having mysteriously disappeared, Frodo finds himself in possession of a simple gold ring that has great and evil power. It is the Ruling Ring, taken long ago from the Dark Lord, Sauron, who now seeks to possess it again. Frodo must do everything he can to prevent this, and with the help of Gandalf the wizard and a band of loyal companions he begins a perilous journey across Middle-earth. Sauron's Black Riders are on their trail as they travel to Rivendell, attempt to cross the snow-swept Misty Mountains and, in desperation, enter the terrifying Mines of Moria.

Wish they hadn't changed it
As others have said there are some changes to the format versus the cassettes which really take something away. Pretty disappointed and won't be purchasing the other 2 parts. Would be better off investing in the cassettes and ripping them to mp3

Wonderful edit of the story.
So very immersive. Great edit. Wonderful performances. Sometimes voices are similar so a tad confusing. Surprisingly enjoyed the singing too!

Very good adaptation. Whilst not all voices fit my versions of the characters, it was extremely immersive and enjoyable. Looking forward to the other two.

This is an excellent adaptation. The cast is good, and the story well acted. The plot flys along, and is very entertaining.

Outstanding dramatisation
Exceptional performances from the cast. The adaptation is extremely faithful and sensitive to the source material. My only complaint would be that it's a little stingy of the BBC to split the series into three. The Chronicles of Narnia is of similar length but available in one package.
