After many ages it fell by chance into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins.
But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others.

Which is sad, because it is one of the most beautiful musical soundtracks I've ever heard.J.R.R. The only thing that beats this broadcast is the original cast recording of "The Lord Of The Rings" the musical, which cost more to bring to the stage than it cost Peter Jackson to film the original trilogy, and never even made 5% of it's cost from box office sales. As I previously stated, this is the best audio production of LOTR I have ever heard. Was I the only one who caught it? Or, did anyone else's ears kinda perk up when they heard what they thought they heard? Just curious.Īnd, NO! I'm not nit picking. So, hearing Frodo cursing in a 1981 radio program kind of caught me off guard.
But, this was 1981, and the British ear was a bit more stiff than it is today.
I know it's only a story, and being a dramatized radio program, some leave is often taken when writing the script. But, I don't remember ever reading Frodo swearing.

In part 2, 50:00 Frodo, in frustration says "Butterbur making a FUKKING mess of things!" And, although they have produced 3 or 4 different versions of LOTR in the past 40+ years, this is by far their best.īUT, I don't remember Frodo cursing when Butterbur gives him the letter he failed to send from Gandolf. BBC has never failed at bringing classics to life with their radio productions.
