Re: BBC Dramatization of LotR

Well there are recordings of the perfomance, Kay Qy, but I will remember that slap at my age ! (Note: it's on napster, btw.)

Gilthalion: Aragorn does not really sound old, although he does have a slight (aristocratic) lisp.

Anyway, I really like the dramatization. Gandalf and Frodo are very good, and the screenplay (or whatever you call it) is excellent, IMHO. They added a few scenes not directly told by JRRT -- e.g. Gollum being tortured in Mordor, a Ringwraith meeting Grima on the road and learning from him the location of the Shire -- that are good additions, I think. I just wondered if anyone else had heard it and liked it as much as me.
