I think as good as he was in the radio show, Holm makes a better Bilbo than a Frodo. I have enjoyed the BBC version for a number of years, but after the movie, I find that I prefer Wood’s interpretation. And that is an unfair comparison considering the sensory advantages cinema has over radio. Perhaps Frodo is vocally abrasive due to the aural medium; what better way to evince his disintegration than with his voice?
