I have very vague memories of the Jackanory Hobbit. I remember the cast (Bernard Cribbins, David Wood, Jan Francis, Maurice Denham & Jan Francis) & the set. There's info about it if you Google, but I don't even know if they kept the tapes

I did manage to see the whole thing, having been unceremoniously ejected from the Brownies just before earning my Cross-dressing badge....(it wouldn't happen in these more enlightened days )

... might have missed the age limit too

Well my excuse was that as Sixer of the Gnomes, the Noldor needed my leadership.... so I guess I was playing Fingolfin since I inherited the post from my domineering elder sibling......
