For those in the UK that don't manage to fight off the queues for the film at the local flea pit.

It might be worth noting that BBC Radio 4 are starting their thirteen part dramatisation of the book as the Saturday Play starting Saturday 5th January

Legolas · 23rd December 2001, 12:10 AM

yeah but what numbers like! radio 1 is like 97.6 to about 99.8 dependng on where u are

Think Radio 4 is somewhere between 98 and 104 on FM.
Starting from radio 2 start tuning until you find radio 3 (classic music without Mathew Kelly), then keep going until they start speaking English.

I usually use LW which is 1500M

I listened to it. My mum kept saying Frodo should have been Bilbo, but then it WAS Ian Holme!

Still good.... Gollum was good i think

Dave · 5th January 2002, 06:25 PM

I heard this today on the way home. It was good. Michael Horne was a good Gandalf. Gollum was good too.
