: : I RECALL J.R.R.T. DERIDING THE BBC DRAMATIZATION IN A LETTER PUBLISHED IN A COLLECTION OF HIS LIFETIME CORRESPONDENCE.: Eerrr! I don't think so! After all JRRT had been dead for a number of years when the BBC Radio drama of LotR came out! Maybe it was a real early version that I am not familiar with? : : IF YOU HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH ANY AUDIO VERSION OF LOTR I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR OPINION...THANKS! : I would recommend the BBC Radio dramitarisation (Spelling?) 100%. It is superb. OK it misses some things, like Old Tom boy, but then how important to the story was the inclusion of TB? Not a hell of a lot! : And besides with actors such as Sir Michael Horden and Ian Holm, not to mention the chap who played Aragorn (cause I can't remember his name (what a fool!). Such a powerful voice!), it was always going to be a storming success. So long as they stuck to the real story of course - and they did! : Cheers

The actor who played Aragorn is Robert Stevens, I believe. And btw, I found a site that has some .wav files from this dramatization (in fact, that's all I've heard of it--I'd *love* to hear the full thing!). I can't remember the address, or I'd post it.
