I bought and downloaded all 3 (three) BBC radio dramatizations of Lord of the Rings with Ian Holm as Frodo so I could listen to them at work but now

Friends

Comrades

It’s new (to me) LOTR material

I am not ready.

I am not feeling Gollum’s voice. Andy Serkis is a tough act to live up to but the narrator of the audiobook did a really good job too.

But Ian Holm as Frodo and Bill Nighy as Sam sound adorable so far.

DAVID COLLINGS AS LEGOLAS?????????? EXCUSE ME??????????????????

Yeah…I haven’t gotten to him yet. I’ll let you know how that goes. I’m having a really hard time wrapping my head around Robert Stephens as Aragorn? What.

I can’t recognize Bill Nighy’s voice at all. I’m trying to imagine his Sam voice coming out of Davey Jones’s mouth and it is just not happening. He’s the sweetest thing though.

Ian Holm sounds like himself. Like his Bilbo voice from the movies but a lot younger.
