Has anybody heard the Radio 4 dramatisation of tLotR (available on tape). I'm listening to it at the moment on my way to work each day.
So far it has been slightly disappointing as the characters don't sound anything like they do in my head (always a problem with a dramatisation).
I'm also not convinced that the 'information dump' at the start of the episode is a good idea (although since they couldn't assume listeners were familiar with tH this can be somewhat justified).
Anyway I'll probably post more here as I listen to the rest of the production and get annoyed with the way they have done things.
