Summary

The second instalment of Tolkien's epic tale, adapted from the original BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation. Having fled the Shire in their escape from Sauron's Dark Riders, Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring have journeyed to Rivendell and beyond. Their mission is to reach the Mountain of Fire in Mordor, where the Ruling Ring can be destroyed, but already their campaign is in jeopardy. Gandalf has fallen into an abyss, and Boromir has fatally succumbed to the power of the Ring. The others are besieged by an army of orcs - save for Frodo and Sam, whose journey down the River Anduin is being watched by a dark and shadowy figure... Widely regarded as a broadcasting classic, the BBC Radio dramatisation of 'The Lord of the Rings' stars Ian Holm, Michael Hordern, Robert Stephens, John Le Mesurier and Peter Woodthorpe.

This is absolutely fantastic. All the voices are spot on for the characters. Part two of a three part adaptation by Brian Sibley originally devised as a thirteen part serial. This was made before the films. I remember listening to this many years ago and it is as good as I remember. Great addition to any collection.

Brilliant

Fantastic

As the story goes, it does the job. But...both my wife and I found this an annoying recording as some parts were too quiet followed by other parts being shouted, in particular the Treebeard parts. Overall, not fussed on the acting.

Ok, but only Ok
