I have very vague memories of the Jackanory Hobbit. I remember the cast (Bernard Cribbins, David Wood, Jan Francis, Maurice Denham & Jan Francis) & the set. There's info about it if you Google, but I don't even know if they kept the tapes
I did manage to see the whole thing, having been unceremoniously ejected from the Brownies just before earning my Cross-dressing badge....(it wouldn't happen in these more enlightened days
)
