The Hobbit (part 2 of 4) | Riddles in the Dark | Strange Lodgings | Broadcast: 1968

Broadcast: 1968 on BBC Radio, an adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's 1937 legendary children's fantasy novel.

The series was adapted by Michael Kilgarriff and produced by John Powell in eight half-hour mono episodes for BBC Radio 4 broadcast from September 29 to November 17 at 8.30pm.

The radio series follows the plot of the original novel (revised 1951 version) very closely, except for the addition of The Tale Bearer, a narrator whose account of the story is often interrupted and embellished by the protagonist Bilbo Baggins in the role of secondary narrator.

Crew: Music composed by David Cain; Performed by David Munrow with The Early Music Consort; Special sound effects and voice treatments by David Cain and Dick Mills, BBC Radiophonic Workshop; Produced by John Powell
