    The BBC dramatisation of Tolkien's celebrated fantasy. ; ; Widely regarded as a broadcasting classic this gripping highly-acclaimed and award-winning BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of `The Lord of the Rings' stars Ian Holm as Frodo Michael Hordern as Gandalf and Robert Stephens as Aragorn. Tolkien's much-loved books charting the epic struggle between good and evil have touched the hearts of young and old alike. They originated the modern fantasy genre and are often cited as people's favourite books of all time as well as topping the bestseller charts. The phenomenal success of the recent films has prompted a rediscovery of this fantastic audiobook version. ; Adapted and dramatised by Brian Sibley and Michael Bakewell with original music by Stephen Oliver and directed by Jane Morgan and Penny Leicester. ; ; `Originally broadcast in 1981 on BBC Radio this full-cast adaptation of Tolkien's epic trilogy is justifiably regarded as a classic. Ian Holm (who appeared as Bilbo in the films) offers a mature nuanced portrayal of Frodo that is far truer to the text than (the film's) wide-eyed innocent approach. - ; Publishers Weekly ; ; `Brian Sibley's adaptation cuts out all excess fat and concentrates on plot pace characters action and atmosphere. In this last respect he's helped by composer Stephen Oliver whose dark relentless theme tune perfectly evokes danger and quest - ; Guardian Unlimited ; ; `Closest to the films though richer in detail is the BBC's dramatisation of the trilogy. First broadcast in 26 episodes in 1981 it was adapted with exceptional skill and sympathy by Brian Sibley and Michael Bakewell and has superb music by Stephen Oliver - ; The Independent
