In 1981, the BBC broadcast a dramatisation of JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, narrated by Gerard Murphy and starring Ian Holm as Frodo and Michael Hordern as Gandalf.
The adaptation, in 26 half-hour episodes, was made by Brian Sibley and Michael Bakewell, with music by Stephen Oliver.

Bill Nighy singing my very favourite song from the 1980s. Written by J.R.R. Tolkien I learned this at the time and have sung it many times as my 'party piece'. And now it turns up on You Tube. YES... really BILL NIGHY. The tapes/CDs are really worth seeking out. Priceless...
