This series was broadcast in the uk in 1981, as 26 half hour episodes. it was the most expensive, & longest drama ever comissioned by the BBC. The reason the Bombadil episode was missed was that they didn't have enough episodes available.
But a few years later one of the adaptors, Brian Sibley did radio dramas of the Bombadil episode, Farmer Giles, Niggle, & Smith of Wooton Major. They're all available on CD in the UK - try Amazon UK, as 'Tales from the Perilous Realm'. So you can listen to the Lord of the rings series up to the hobbits leaving the Shire, change to the Bombadil episode, then back to the series, & get the whole story. Unfortunately, it has different actors.

Thank you.I friend of mine burnd it for me.I have 13 episodes at 1 hour long.I think he downloaded them from some where.I will ckeck out amazon.I like radio shows and this is the coolest one I've heard.

Hi Nilwen, Just a bit more info, if you're interested in finding out more about the radio series, & seeing some pictures of the cast try www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/lordoftherings/

*sigh* both the movie and the radio thingy felt inclined to cut out the downs and dear Tom...."WHAT DID A BUNCH OF WRAITHS EVER DO TO YOU!!!???"

I thought that the BBC episode's of LOTR were awesome! I loved them and I plan on getting a copy of them as soon as possible!
