#lotr bbc radio play

[ent-maiden]

My old sketchbook has a total of 126 humanoids and 169 birds.

My current sketchbook has a total of 55 humanoids and 57 birds.

For a second I thought the humanoids were gaining. Then I remembered that all but two of my watercolor paintings have had many, many birds. But I don't have a birds blog.

Here is proof that I can draw birds better than hobbits.

It's a black American Serama hen. Chickens are what got me into art and I love drawing them yet it seems like lately I've only drawn them once a quarter. Sad. I really need to draw some more.

Oh and here is what I painted while listening to the BBC LOTR radio play. It turns out I have this weird ability to listen to a radio play and catch every word while painting at the same time, like my vision/hands and hearing/interpretation are operating in two halves of my brain. Sadly, if my family member turns on the tv in the same room as me it immediately steals my attention from the art because the moving thing is a lot more engaging than a piece of paper. So I usually have to leave.

I have recently bought a cassette tape player (I collect old audiobooks and radioplays) but I'm not allowed to use it until I hit 9000 words on my current novel wip. That's 2000 more words. Normally that would take me two days, except this week has been fucking insane and I still haven't done it!

[so-i-did-this-thing]

Laughing my ass off at the James Patterson table everyone is ignoring at the library sale.

Meanwhile, absolutely delighted to score the BBC LotR radio play in today's "fill a bag for $7" deal.

For anyone who's keen on the Peter Jackson LORD OF THE RINGS movies and has had difficulty getting into the book, I really highly recommend Phil Dragash's Soundscape LOTR project, an unofficial, unabridged audiobook with music and sound effects from the film soundtracks. (Because it's unauthorized, you can't buy it, but it's around if you look on the interwebs.)

Dragash is a very good voice actor — so good that the retention of "he said" type dialogue markers is sometimes jarring — and captures the characters very well (although he mostly recites rather than sings the songs). Every so often he stumbles on the pronunciation of a word (curiously, more often real ones than Tolkien's constructed ones — for instance, in Bilbo's song of Earendil, "mariner" becomes "mareener"), but that's also true of the authorized audiobook readers. The Dragash version is clearly superior to both the 1990 audiobook by Robert Inglis (Inglis sings, but his performance of the characters is often stuffy) and the recent 2021 Andy Serkis version (Serkis is a wonderful actor, but some of the characters are beyond his range, and he sometimes seems daunted by Tolkien's poetic constructions). The main downside is that because the Soundscape project is a labor of love done without benefit of professional audio mixing tools, the music can occasionally drown out the narration; Dragash has redone several of the chapters over the years to address this.

Dragash's audio version is a good bridge for people coming from the films, since it's informed by them (in the performance of the characters as well as in the music), but as an unabridged adaptation, it restores excised subplots and flattened characterization, while capturing the sweep of Tolkien's language.

I now prefer it to the two modern audio dramatizations of LOTR: The 1979 Mind's Eye version, adapted by James Arrington (who also plays Gandalf), is essentially an abridged audiobook with multiple voice actors; Arrington is excellent as Gandalf, but the rest of the cast, drawn from local community theater, is not, making it a very mixed bag. The 1981/1982 BBC radio version, adapted by Brian Sibbery and Michael Bakewell (initially as 26 half-hour episodes, later reedited to 13 hour-long installments), is generally very good, with Ian Holm and Bill Nighy outstanding as Frodo and Sam and Michael Hordern a fine Gandalf (although I think Arrington better captured Gandalf's prickliness). However, not all the actors are of the same caliber (Jack May as Théoden isn't a patch on Bernard Hill); the clever idea of presenting the Battle of the Pelénnor Fields as a medieval ballad (by Oz Clarke and the Ambrosian Singers) ends up being hard to decipher; the transformation of narrative exposition to dialogue works in some spots and not others; and the inevitable abridgements are painful if you're familiar with the full text. I certainly wouldn't discourage anyone from the BBC version, and at 12½ hours, it's not much longer than the extended versions of the films, but it's no longer the gold standard for Tolkien audio.

Hi! This is my first time requesting anything on Tumblr, so I apologize in advance if I mess up on anything! I first want to start off by saying that I love your fanfics, and your blog theme is freaking amazing.

Anyway, I was wondering if I could get a romantic matchup for Yu Yu Hakusho?

Here is a bit about me! Sorry if it's a bit long!

Basic Info; I am 23 years old. I am Bi and Ace. She/Her/Hers. And my preference is more male than female, but I love both.

Personality;

I am stubborn, I like having my way, and proving that I am right.

I have ADHD, so I get distracted easily, and I can't sit still.

I also have Autism, I stim a lot and it's hard for me to really bond with people and understand how others are feeling.

I also have RSD, so I also always worry that people hate me, even family.

I am very kind, and generous! I love buying things for my loved ones more than buying things for myself.

I am very shy and awkward, and it's hard for me to make friends (currently have none lol). I will break out of my shell if I get to know someone though! :) It just takes me a bit, so patience.

Also I do need time to myself to recollect after events or outings.

I am chatty though once someone gets me going!

[skinnyscottishbloke]

I wasn’t kidding lol

I love putting my itunes library on shuffle cause I always get a lot of musicals and classical pieces and soundtracks 💗

[mywingsareonwheels]

Nerdery

Here is something the first episode of Inspector Morse (1987) and the first episode of the magnificent BBC radio series of The Lord of the Rings (1981) have in common:-

Philip Voss (the Coroner / the Lord of the Nazgul[1]) asks searching questions of Peter Woodthorpe (Max DeBryn[2] / Gollum).

I have to wonder whether the parallel occurred to either or both of them during the filming of Morse. ;-)

Incidentally, because this delights me, here's a full list (so far! I may have missed some!) of actors who were in both the LotR radio series and the morseverse:-

James Grout (DCS Strange in Inspector Morse / Butterbur)

Michael Horden - (Dr Starkie in Inspector Morse ("Service for all the Dead") / Gandalf)

John McAndrew (Leslie Garnier in Endeavour ("Cartouche") / Pippin)

Robert Stephens (Sir Wilfred Mulryne in Inspector Morse ("The Setting of the Sun" / Aragorn)

Philip Voss (the Coroner in Inspector Morse / the Lord of the Nazgul)

Peter Woodthorpe (Max DeBryn / Gollum)

That all makes me so happy. :D

ALSO

a) James Bradshaw's played Bilbo Baggins in a stage production of The Hobbit so Max really is the hobbit pathologist (Bilbo!Max and Gollum!Max ;-) )

b) the composer of the LotR radio series was the late, great Stephen Oliver who (was the wonderful comedian John Oliver's uncle and also) wrote the music for the RSC musical of Nicholas Nickleby that was rather a hit in the 1970s. It was the success of that musical that was a huge part of why Trevor Nunn and the RSC in general were willing to take a risk on a musical of rather a long book by Victor Hugo in the 1980s... So, there's a Roger Allam connection too. ;-)

[1] Aka the Witch-King of Angmar, but he's called the LotN in the radio series cast list (and it makes sense for him as a title for nerdy reasons I won't go into ;-) ).

[2] "DeBryn" was created as Max's surname for Endeavour so strictly speaking that's inaccurate but.

[doppel-soldner]

Just got to that part in the LOTR BBC radio play where Sam is rescuing Frodo and the song is just divine. Much better sung than merely written, as in the books.

[overthinkinglotr]

The moment in Shelob’s lair where Sam believes Frodo has been killed and takes up the phial of Galadriel while saying: “I’ll need that; I’ll be always in the dark now.....”

[ent-maiden]

"I also liked him very much in the BBC radio play of LOTR where he played Frodo. "

I did as well! I remember spending hours doing my magnum opus this painting

and listening to the radio adaption. It took many days, to be sure. Most glorious evenings of my life.

I really need to listen while I paint more, I have the weird ability to paint and look at a reference while similtaneously understanding every word I hear. I can't talk and listen at the same time though, that is too hard.

"Lee Pace, by the way, looks like an appropriately otherworldly ruler, but... But. I am having a slightly difficult time taking his eyebrows seriously. They kind of look like eyebrows I could have drawn. I'm a cartoonist."

I agree why with the blond hair do his eyebrows do the thing

Liveblog of watching the first PJhobbit.

!!THIS IS NEGATIVE!! Towards the end especially I complain a lot about the movie please don't click on the link if you're fond of these films and just want to enjoy them in peace, I wholly support you enjoying the movies in peace, don't read my blog.

[penny-anna]

Have you given the 1981 BBC Radio play version of lotr a listen at all? I've heard pretty good things about it but haven't gotten to it yet. (it's on the internet archive)

Yep!! I've listened to it & I love it very much. Ian Holm & bill nighy are my preferred frodo n Sam <3

[juiceboxman]

So I took Siobhan’s advice and listened to the BBC’s radio adaptation of the Lord of the Rings from the 80′s

It’s pretty good, you can listen to it here https://soundcloud.com/inkmore/sets/lord-of-the-rings-radio 

I had some issues with it but I liked it for the most part. I’m not a massive LoTR fan, only watched the films so I don’t know much, but here are the thoughts I had.

I once heard someone describe Hobbits and the Shire as ���drama free people” after listening to this series, that’s obviously not the case. Hobbits seem to live for the drama, always talking shit behind one anothers back. I think Tolkien was trying to satirise rural or village life in England and I think he did a good job depicting how petty people can be.

Sam is a working class hero and Frodo doesn’t deserve him.

I understand how people can like Sam/Frodo because there is massive gay vibes coming off them. Personally I interpreted it to be unrequited and an example of some class division, with Sam being working class and Frodo being middle class. The amount of dedication and support Sam shows Frodo I don’t think Frodo would show back if the roles were reversed. I feel like its a very one sided relationship with Sam putting in way more effort than Frodo.

Bilbo’s whole thing seems to be that he went on a gap year once that turned out quite bad and now he kinda lives like a hermit.

I don’t know how reliable to the books the Radio series is, but I feel like the movies do more justice to stuff. Like in the Radio drama Gandalf makes his first appearance by just coming through the door and Bilbo is like “ah, Gandalf” and...that’s it. Movie version was better in my opinion.

I think the radio drama does a lot better to explain what the ring of power does than the movies. I always got confused by what the ring does, like in the movies all it seems to do is turn people invisible and make them into heroin addicts. With the radio I kinda understand more about it. Like the ring’s power kinda depends on the wearer, like a Hobbit could simply use it for invisibility and expanding their life force but a King could use it to control the minds of an entire enemy army and a Wizard could do even more. But it’s still vague and I presume Tolkien intended it to be, like it’s just a representation of the concept of power and this world’s equivalent of a deal with the devil. Power or wishes may be commanded but they will ultimately corrupt you.

Time in the books seem wild. Like at one point Gandalf says that Bilbo has gone off and he himself will start researching the ring and then twelve years go by and Frodo has just been fucking about, forgot that the ring even existed and Gandalf comes back and is like “oh yeah, ring is bad”

Also, Frodo is 50 when he leaves the shire???? Jesus 

Also, were the Nazgul just running about for 12 years looking for the ring? Like at one point the Nazgul knocked on some Hobbit’s door asking about Frodo and the Hobbit told him to go fuck himself and slammed a door- to a NAZGUL

Aragon’s voice in this radio drama is...way off. Like it sounds like Greg Davies. You don’t really have the soft voice of Viggo Mortinstein but the gruff righteous voice of the Principal from the Inbetweeners 

Elrond denying Aragon to marry his daughter until he becomes king of Gondor is like a stern dad refusing you to date his daughter until you get a real job.

Also Aragon gets the reforged sword, like, immediately when they leave Riverdale. Which is a bit weird to me.

It makes sense why Frodo is trusted with the ring. A king couldn’t be trusted because he’d use it for conquest. A Wizard could overthrow Sauron but in doing so would become just as bad so you’re back to square one. With a Hobbit, there is no desire for conquest or any wish for power outside of simply having the ring. Even when Golum had it all he used it for was to hunt fish and extend his life cycle. I’m curious of whether if Sam had carried the ring all the way to Mordor if he could will himself to destroy it or would he have failed like Frodo. 

Gimly and Legolas’ friendship is so cute. Like they start off disliking eachother but bond over their prowess in combat and plan out a gap year after the whole fellowship where they see the sights of middle earth. So wholesome

I don’t understand why they didn’t just kill Golum. Like I know he was important to find the way to Mordor and was ultimately necessary to destroy the ring after Frodo failed, but like the idea of “don’t kill him because of pity and he also probably has a part to play” is bullshit to me. Like he’s so gross and troublesome. It’s the same excuse Jedi have with “oh you can’t kill a Sith Lord because striking them down means you need to embrace the dark side” bitch Luke Skywalker round house kicked a guy into a Sarlack Pick- whaddya mean he can’t kill this wrinkly ass Emperor??? Ethical mental gymnastics are mind blowing.

For me the moment that made me really dig the series was when the Fellowship disbanded. Like shit hit the fan and everyone’s forced to do their own shit, really engaging storytelling.

The series is quite short when you consider all the battles are short cutted. Like in the radio drama you’ll hear a series of grunts for 30 seconds and then a song about how bad that battle was. I guess it would take a lot to depict a battle purely by means of audio.

Seriously the series is quite short, like it’s 13 hour long episodes and by episode five I’m like “oh shit we’re starting the second book already? Damn” It felt half the time there was so much stuff cut out I don’t know why

I think the radio drama is best suited for people who have either watched the movies or read the books. Like I don’t think it’s well suited for people who haven’t seen LoTR content before. Like the scene with the Balrog there is no description of what it looks like.

Also, Gandalf fought the Balrog from the deepest dungeons to the tip of the mountain? Damn, Gandalf’s leg day must be intense

I love the introduction of Treebeard and the Ents. Like you get this horrific imagery with warring Orcs and other evil creatures and then turn a hard 180 to these hilarious tree people. I guess that’s why the LoTR is so great. Because you do get those hard, gruesome battles but you also get these lovely peaceful wholesome scenes.

Quick question, how do you meet a guy called Saruman and then be surprised that he’s the bad guy? It’s the same deal with Victor VonDoom.

Also, did Tolkien have to have all the big villains names sound so similar?

Man, Tolkien loves having people end up together. With the Horse Princess who got friendzoned by Aragorn meeting up with that guy from Gondor. You love to see it

So like, was the King of Nazgul just talking shit or can he not be killed by a man? Like could anyone kill him by stabbing him the face or did the Horse Princess just find a loophole?

At one point this woman kinda makes fun of this flower called Kings Seed or some shit and Aragon basically calls her a THOT 

Kinda sad the series didn’t have more dragons. Like I would have liked to see a huge black dragon at the final battle at Mordor. But that’s just me, I love me some dragons

Also, the final battle at the gates of Mordor is so endearing. Like they don’t even know if Frodo and Sam are still alive but they go to war anyway because they believe they are and in doing so keep the eye of Sauron off of them. It’s really heart warming

The radio’s version of the destruction of the ring is kinda anticlimactic. Like I said it’s better with the dialogue than it is at the representation of physical actions like combat. Like if you didn’t know what happened at the end of the lord of the rings and you were listening to this you would have no idea that Golum fell into the lava with the ring 

I love the owner of the Prancing Pony’s reaction to Aragon becoming King of Gondor. It’s like “hey, remember that guy you saw shit in the woods that one time? Yeah he’s the President”

Also Sam’s Pony lives at the end of it. Love to see it. I feel like Tolkien read his first draft to his kids and they were like “what happened to Sam’s pony?” and he was like “uh, yeah, the pony....the pony lived! yes! the pony found its way back to town” you can tell this story is vibing on a different level than GoT or ACOC

Hobbits returning to the Shire fucking shit up like level 16 PCs returning to the town they started the campaign in

Also, all the Hobbits in the shire have no idea what the fuck went down? Like I understand they live in the middle or nowhere but that’s astounding 

It’s so funny what ends up happening to Saruman. Like he goes from being the second in command of the Dark Lord to being a shitty local businessman in a Village in Yorkshire

I can see how people can really get into the LotR. Like a world like GoT is just fucked beyond compare and any happy ending will be bittersweet at most. But here you have an ending where the characters leave the world better than when they found it

Frodo asking Sam to live with him was him totally trying to get with Sam, right? And Sam was like “oh that’s nice Frodo, but I have gf” and Frodo’s like “oh that’s alright, she can move in too!” it’s like watching a man back step his request for love by inviting a family into his home. You missed your shot Frodo! You had a whole year with Sam and you blew it!

Sam ultimately moving on from Frodo with his thicc Hobbit gf is the character development we deserved

That said, in the movies Sam getting a gf was a thing at the end of the third movie- like he’d been so shy before hand but after almost dying he’s like “fuck it, might as well give my shot” but here in radio drama he...had a gf all along? Like we only hear about her in the final episode and he’s like “oh yeah, my gf ain’t too happy. I left her for a year to fuck about with you so now I need to marry her. Woops” very startling

Also love how Tolkien represented PTSD with Frodo. I don’t think works of Fantasy like this before Tolkien really did this stuff justice. That said the ending is a bit weird. Like I understand that the “Undying Lands” are supposed to reflect Tolkien’s belief in Catholicism, Eternal Life and Heaven. But it’s really hard to not interpret the ending as Frodo as struggling to deal with his PTSD so he commits suicide. Because the Undying Lands is a place that Sam cannot follow. It’s heart breaking but that’s the vibe I got off the ending.

So yeah, there’s my thoughts. It’s pretty good but I’d only recommend the series to anyone who’s either seen the movies or read the books. If this was your first introduction to LOTR I don’t know if that would be any good. 

Also, while we’re here I recommend Escape from the Bloodkeep from Dimension 20. It’s  DnD actual play series that is a slight parody of LOTR. It’s really good.

[auntielessthannothing]

As I am currently going through the 1983 BBC radio play of LOTR, this is surprisingly relevant to my life.

[thealmightyemprex]

Versions of LOTR characters I like more /as much as the Jackson versions

So people act like the jackson versions of LOTR is the definitive version and while I do agree ,Jackson LOTR trilogy is one of my favorite movie series ....But it is not the only adaptation and some adaptations had performance I would like to spotlight .Not gonna compare the Hobbit only characters ,as my oppinion is I with the exception of Lee Pace as Thranduil in Jacksons Hobbit,across the board I prefer the cast of the 77 animated Hobbit .No offense to Richard Armitage ,Martin Freeman or Benedict Cumberbatch but Hans Conried,Orson Bean and Richard Boone just ARE Thorin,Young Bilbo  and Smaug to me (Not as big of a fan of Beans old Bilbo )

Ralph Bakshi’s Lord of the Rings 

John Hurt as Aragorn :He has a commanding kingly quality I feel the Jackson version lacks 

Anthony Daniels as Legolas : He shows up earlier in the story ,and his voice is more what I think of when it comes to an elf 

Michel Graham Cox as Boromir:I had to put Cox on here cause of how well done his death scene is ,and while not in the film long he does a good job.Also I kind of dig the viking look.He’s also in the radio show,but there he has a weird accent that I find a bit distracting 

Return of the King (1980)

John Houston as Gandalf :HAnds down my favorite Gandalf,his voice is just so powerful 

John Stephenson as the Witch King :Yes his voice is a bit Skeletorish,but something about that screeching voice combined with the fact  he has no head and just two burning red eyes is a bit creepy 

Nellie Bellflower as Eowyn:It sucks she only has ONE scene cause she is really good 

Orcs:I love their design and When Theres Whip Theres A Way oddly adds some humanity to them....Orcmanity ? 

BBC Radio Play

Ian Holm as Frodo :Absolute favorite Frodo

Bill Nighy as Sam :His performance is so good it brought me to tears 

Peter Woodthrope as Gollum :He walks the line between a mad old man and a vicious animal ,he’s really creepy .He was also in the Ralph Bakshi film but it is in the radio play where he REALLY shines 

[thefakerachelray]

I’ve been listening to the BBC radio adaptation of LotR and it’s very good so far, my only complaint is that the actress who played Galadriel didn’t go nearly as hard on the “instead of a dark lord, you would have a QUEEN” speech as she could have
